Perky red-headed "Little Orphan Annie" Chris Nelson is a
world-class athlete and seasoned celebrity in figure
skating. Divorced with a young daughter, Lucy, Chris has
been burned by love. The day Chris' car stalls on her way
to a coaching job is the day her world turns upside down.
Chris' rescuer is tall, handsome and luscious, but a
construction worker "slob."
Inflicting a broken arm on Ken Callahan triggers Chris'
worst nightmare. Being coerced into subletting a room to
Ken, Aunt Edna intervenes in hopes of pairing up the two.
This is NOT in Chris' plans. Quick witted and feisty Chris
struggles with her hot, demanding body and mind when around
Ken. She finds herself falling in love with this warm and
so considerate man. The sex is mind-blowing, too! Panicky
fears of rejection and betrayal form in Chris's mind when
she learns Ken has lied to her and her world again comes
tumbling down.
This has to be one of the most witty and enormously funny
stories I have read in a while. I found myself completely
amused and chuckling throughout the read. Don't miss this
one! I have read many of Janet Evanovich's books and
found each extremely entertaining. (Note: First released
in 1988, HERO AT LARGE was Janet's very first book to be
published. To quote Janet from the Amazon page for this
novel, "This was the book that changed my life forever and
made me a published author.")
Originally published in Second Chance at Love by Steffie
Hall
He cooks a pot holder in the spaghetti sauce and needs
lessons on making Jell-O. Still, petite skating coach Chris
Nelson's committed to keeping her sexy, scruffy, new "house
husband" around. After all, she did break his arm ... and
his toe... and she can't just turn him out into the cold...
It seemed like luck when this gorgeous stranger first
stopped to help Chris with her car, but suddenly her
peaceful life's topsy-turvy as tender, long-suffering Ken
Callahan enlists the sympathies of her 7-year-old daughter
and her meddlesome Aunt Edna. And even Chris can't deny the
excitement his magnetic blue-black eyes spark deep within
her... But who is he?
