Romance Suspense | Romance Contemporary

Florist Kathy Callahan is the last divorcee of the Divorced, Desperate and Delicious club she formed with her friends, Sue and Lacey. Both these women are now pregnant and married, while Kathy is still single with a young son, who's currently in France visiting his father and the new wife. Luke Hunter, aka Stan Bradley, a hunk of a plumber extraordinaire who's also employed by the FBI, has captured Kathy's undivided attention. However, a tragic childhood incident has caused Kathy to be opposed to all cops. After appearing at "Stan's" door, Kathy gets caught up in a race to evade a drug lord's muscle, who's trying to stop Luke from testify against him. With 48 hours of hot pursuit and even hotter, scorching sex, Kathy and Luke dodge death as they fall hopelessly in love. But there are surprises along the way that create some problems. DIVORCED, DESPERATE AND DECEIVED is a very stimulating, action-packed story. Kathy's character is funny and interesting. Luke is the hunk of a man every woman dreams of; sweet but strong and masculine with a fierce need to protect. Did I forget to mention handsome, as well? I found this an easy book to read as it kept the interest alive. Christie Craig is gifted with words and the ability to entertain the reader.

SUMMARY

Of the Divorced, Desperate and Delicious club, Kathy Callahan is the last surviving member. Oh, her two friends haven’t died or anything. They just gave up their vows of chastity. They went for hot sex with hot cops and happy second marriages—something Kathy can never consider, given her past. Yet there’s always her plumber, Stan Bradley. He seems honest, hardworking...and skilled with a tool.

PLUMB CRAZY

Kathy’s best-laid plans are about to hit a clog. The guy snaking her drain isn’t what he seems. He’s handier with a pistol than a pipe wrench, and she’s about to see more action than Jason Statham. The next forty-eight hours promise hot pursuit, hotter passion and a super perky pug. And at the end of this wild escapade, Kathy and her own undercover lawman will be flush with happiness . . . assuming they both survive.
