Real Men Sell Bras (Five Star First Edition Romance Series)

Rating:
Summary: delightful romance
Review: Adapting to her new job as Administrative Assistant to the Finance Director of a large Connecticut insurance firm should be relatively difficult. However, the key adjective is relatively as that word has a double meaning to Casie Malcavey. The job is nothing when compared to dealing with her mother, acting bongos because Casie's sister Joyce is pregnant.

Mom asks Casie to do a small favor, which usually means big, and issues an order. She wants Casie to drive Joyce, whose husband is away, to The Happy Stork to buy maternity bras. At the store junior high school football coach Scott Karsetter fills in for his mother and finds he likes what he sees and hears from Casie. He plans to follow up though she left no phone number because he wants to date Casie.

The lead couple is a delightful pair whose romance seems sort of like a throwback to less complicated novels. Though fun to read, the story line feels a bit soft not because of excess fat, but due a lack of any real major conflict. Still bras instead of quiche make for an amusing tale as Scott can size up any female.

Summary: A laugh out loud book
Review: I admit, the title drew me to this book. Come on, let's face it. What a great name for a book. You just have to read it and find out what kind of guy Scott is and why he's selling bras. And I wasn't disappointed. Is this book the great American novel? Will it change the world? No, but it's a fun way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon - which is exactly what I did. And laughed. This book has some of the best one-liners I've read in a long time. The author has a really good sense of humor.

Summary: No Spice or Flair
Review: The last place on earth, Casie Malcavey would want to find a handsome, seemingly available man of her dreams is in a maternity store fitting women for bras. However, this is exactly where she first bumps into high school teacher/coach, Scott Karstetter.

These two both learn more about each other with Casie's new part time job at the high school. Casie's very wary of athletic men due to a problem in her past. Can Scott break past those barriers?

A cute read but nothing spectatuclar. At times the story drug as it seemed it was struggling to find some conflict and everything wraps up too neatly. This reviewer didn't develop any real feelings, positive or negative about this story. It was more like a time killer than something I really got into and devoured like other well loved favorites.
