Lacey Clark has just returned from Hollywood with her five
year-old adopted son, Henry. She'll be staying in Indigo
Beach South Carolina for at least six weeks; her ex-
boyfriend's agent told her she could stay at the
lighthouse in his stead. Lacey, a failed actress, is
broke, she has to look for a job, and find a real home.
One dark and stormy night, there's a knock at the front
door: it's action movie superstar Beau Wilder who argues
that he's the one who's supposed to stay at the
lighthouse! He's in town for six weeks to film an art
movie
because he can't get out of his contract. They finally
agree to be roommates, then platonic friends even though
they're very much attracted to each other; neither of
them is at a place in their life where they can make room
for love, or can they?
What a beautiful book! YOU'RE SO FINE is Ms. Kramer's
second contemporary romance and again she demonstrates
that she is as comfortable with this genre as she is with
historical fiction. The author conveys perfectly that
Southern feel without reverting to clichés: the setting,
the surroundings, the people come to life vividly and
speak to our sensibilities. The characters are
multifaceted, genuine, and engaging; the children
especially ring true, and the relationships between the
characters are very realistic as well.
I love how Ms. Kramer weaves a rather complex story in
which the characters deal with human issues that hold
your interest until the very end. In YOU'RE SO FINE,
events happen in a realistic time frame, and the mood is
never too light or too dark. The attraction between Lacey
and Beau is obvious from the start and we watch their
romance develop as they grow and overcome hurdles. Their
love story is just lovely: there is an undeniable
scorching chemistry between Lacey and Beau and yet the
sex scenes are understated, sensual, and tasteful, and
very sexy nonetheless.
Ms. Kramer's elegant yet airy prose creates warmth and
intimacy, the story flows seamlessly, the dialogues are
as natural as breathing and still nothing quite happens
exactly as you would expect. The author's well-known
sense of humour is also at hand: Ms. Kramer's concern
with good grammar and usage had me laughing out loud in
one particular passage! YOU'RE SO FINE is a superbly
written, powerful and touching book.
Lacey Clark’s dreams of Hollywood stardom didn’t turn out
quite the way she planned. Instead, her life is more of
the daytime-drama variety: One of her actor ex-boyfriends
fathered a child with another woman, and now, long story
short, Lacey is the adopted single mother of his son. She
takes little Henry with her to South Carolina to escape
the film business but winds up working at a small movie
studio, determined to do a good job both on
set and at
"home." Only problem is she ends up sharing a house with
movie star Beau Wilder, who is no role model for Henry—and
only spells trouble for Lacey…
LEAD TO A HAPPY ENDING?
Beau is arguably the most gorgeous man on the planet—and a
known ladies’ man. His wealthy Lowcountry pedigree is
rivaled only by his bad-boy charm, a combination that
proves irresistible for Lacey. And he adores Henry! If
they weren’t both on a movie set, their lives would seem
too good to be true…unless the chemistry—not to mention
the burning attraction—between them is real, and
Hollywood’s golden boy is actually falling for this sassy
single mom? When it comes to love, sometimes you just have
to throw out the script…
