Independent lawyer Lauren Flynn is finally getting what she wants: a divorce from her husband, Greg. When he lost his hardware store, and all her retirement savings, Laura had had enough. A year later and she's getting her divorce and a piece of land she didn't know about, which comes with a Merry-Go-Round on it. Restoring the Merry-Go-Round becomes her project, and brings her and Greg together. But she's interested in moving on - with her teenaged client's sexy father, Scott. Will she choice to start over with Scott or will she go back to her past - Greg?I like Donna Fasano's books. They're sweet, realistic and modern. Lauren doesn't need a man and she's a modern woman. I tend to get annoyed with contemporary romances with weak, virginal women. Lauren is not those things. Both guys, Greg and Scott, were sexy. Although Scott had some, er, problems. Which brings me to Norma Jean, Lauren's secretary, who was freakin' hilarious. She was the comic element of the book. The only character I didn't like was Lauren's father. He was your typical curmudgeon, but I'm not a fan of curmudgeons.Anyway, great book, sexy and funny, with a super sweet ending. This was absolutely my favorite romance novel to read within the past year! It was so well-written and so emotional. I was completely invested in it from beginning to end.It was definitely unconventional - the protagonist divorces the man we like in the very beginning. What follows is an inner journey of sorts as Lauren figures out who she is and what she wants out of life. By the end, I was absolutely in love with all the awesome characters, and I teared up when Lauren got her happily-ever-after.This was my first book by Donna Fasano, and I most definitely recommend it. I'm looking forward to reading more novels by this talented writer!
What do You think about The Merry-Go-Round (2010)?
This was a typical romantic fast read. It was "cute" and funny at times.
