Full House by Janet Evanovich
Interestingly, this author used to publish under the nom de plume of Steffie Hall as a romance writer. She now apparently writes mysteries. This book is actually from her Steffie Hall days and is billed as a "romantic mystery" but in reality is a bland, uninteresting, cookie cutter waste of publishing ink.
Full House is your typical Cinderella story "girl least likely meets the man most charming" in the form of a divorced school teacher Mom and wealthy publisher/horse trainer Nick. I mention the male character's name for only one reason. Everyone knows what happens here because all these stories are the same. So when the Mom finally is about to seal the deal with Nick and is panting and breathing oh Nick, Nick Nick, the damn proofreader missed a huge error and the Mom calls Nick NEIL. Clearly the author spent WAY to much time agonizing over whether to call the hero Nick or Neil and changed it last minute but forgot to have spell checker "find all" and eliminate Neil.
I already disliked the book but after that point it was clearly trash. I finished reading it to save all fans of Irishbelle's book reviews the time it would take to read this. Wash your hair instead, it's way more interesting.
