Divorce and dating have never been so delicious! In THE NICK OF TIME, San Culberson gives a fast-paced, feisty, and fun look at relationship endings and beginnings. Fiona Daniels, an up and coming attorney, celebrates her divorce by throwing a party. What better way to start her new life than with great food and good company? All her friends, even her sister with whom she doesn't really get along, are in attendance. No men invited. Her best friend, Nicole, even made sure the bartender was female. From here on, Fiona vows to keep her relationships simple. Like someone who tries smoking once and decides it's not for her because she doesn't like the taste, Fiona, or Fee, as her close friends and family call her, has had her fill of marriage. Once was enough for her. Fiona doesn't count on meeting Nick Nathaniel, also divorced and a local chef. So what if she's a little tipsy and falls off a table into his arms at her divorce party. (He's only there because he's part of the cleanup crew.) Fee decides to make up for many months celibacy by having a one-night stand. After all, it's only about the sex. So how come she can't—or won't—let him go? And since she can't—or won't—will she trust herself enough to trust Nick with her heart? For a debut novel, I found Ms. Culberson's sassy style to be sharp, witty, and very impressive. Her dialogue is down to earth and her characters more than realistic. At times, I felt as though I were chatting with a girlfriend. THE NICK OF TIME is a romantic and funny look at divorce, second chances, and kooky family dynamics. I'll be on the lookout for more from Ms. Culberson.

SUMMARY

Food And Drink, Everything’s On Me All To Celebrate The Fact That I’m Free Attorney Fiona Daniels admits it: she married “Mr. Wrong.” Newly divorced, she’s determined not to make the same mistake twice. To celebrate her newfound freedom, she throws a divorce party where she announces to her best friends and her sister that she’s a DFL (divorcee for life). Fiona may talk the talk, but can she walk the walk? At the very same party she meets chef and restaurateur Nicholas “Nick” Nathaniel, a maple syrup man who’s so sweet Fiona can’t resist a taste, a bite, and a delicious one- night stand…that soon becomes two nights…and more… Although Fiona insists her sizzling affair with Nick is a non-relationship, she’s about to discover sex always has strings—and the heart is a very fragile thing. In fact, this smart lady lawyer may have to learn a tough lesson about betrayal, forgiveness, and the redeeming power of love before she can grab the right gold ring...
