Quint McCoy, successful realtor in Kalispell, Montana,
walked away from his business and his wife following the
death of his father and ended up in Alaska fishing for four
weeks. Needless to say, when he did return, a lot of things
have changed, and Quint feels like he is living in The
Twilight Zone with Rod Serling orchestrating his life. Quint
finds that his real estate office is now The Big Sky Pie and
Café, and, Quint's wife, Callee, has put their home on the
market and has filed for a divorce.
Molly McCoy, Quint's mother, is a first-class, blue-ribbon
pie maker, and she has wanted her own business for years but
put her family first. The shop is scheduled to be opened
within a few days after Quint's return. When Molly has a
heart attack, Callee puts her moving plans on hold and
promises Molly she will help get the shop open. Molly makes
Quint promise he will help Callee bake pies, knowing that
Callee can't boil water properly, much less bake.
Quint has a secret that he is forced to share with Callee
and makes her swear she will not tell anyone. In the event
that a fill-in for Molly can't be found, his mother taught
him to make pies as good as hers! But Callee does have to
stay in town so Molly won't get distressed. Molly needs
surgery when she is strong enough, and the sooner that
happens, the better for her.
Quint and Callee admit they are still in love, but their
reuniting isn't a foregone conclusion. Quint is going to
have to mend a lot of fences, and eat a lot of crow to get
his wife back.
DELECTABLE is the inauguration of a mature, entertaining
Big Sky Pie series by Adrianne Lee. Quint has two
single best friends, Nick and Wade who will be introduced in
future tales. Andrea, a single mom with two little boys, did
work for Quint, but now works for Molly, and she has a story
coming up in a couple of months. Jane Wilson, pie maker
extraordinaire and life saver, has her story next month.
The core characters, Quint, Callee, and Molly are strong,
intelligent and clever people. Adrianne Lee has introduced
us to wonderful people in a beautiful setting, and provides
a strong narrative. DELECTABLE is replete with love and
laughter; angst and happiness; and pure entertainment. What
more could a reader want?
Montana real estate agent Quint McCoy will tell you that the
most important thing is location, location, location. It's a
lesson he learns all too well when he goes incommunicado for
a four-week fishing trip to Alaska. While he's away, his
mother Molly turns his office into the pie shop she has
always dreamed of, Big Sky Pie. But that's not the only
surprise in store for him.
On her way out of town, Callee McCoy only wants to say a
fond farewell to her beloved mother-in-law. But Molly soon
persuades Callee to stay and lend a hand at the new shop,
even if it means heating up the kitchen with her soon-to-be
ex. As Callee and Quint rediscover their recipe for love,
they realize that some couples are so sinfully good together
that one delectable taste is never enough . . .
