Book Spotlight & Giveaway: Gone With a Handsomer Man by Michael Lee West

March 18, 2011 by Darlene


I have a great book to spotlight for you today – Gone With a Handsomer Man by Michael Lee West releasing April 12, 2011 from Minotaur Books. Janet Evanovich called the novel “Fun, Funny and Fabulous”. That does it for me – I can always use a fun and funny read in between all the heavier stuff plus this novel really does sound terrific. Read on for the book description…

About the Book

Take one out-of-work pastry chef . . . Teeny Templeton believes that her life is finally on track. She’s getting married, she’s baking her own wedding cake, and she’s leaving her troubled past behind. And then? She finds her fiancé playing naked badminton with a couple of gorgeous, skanky chicks.

Add a whole lot of trouble . . . Needless to say, the wedding is off. Adding insult to injury, her fiancé slaps a restraining order on her. When he’s found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny.

And stir like crazy! Her only hope is through an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke her heart a decade ago. But dredging up the past brings more than skeletons out of the closet, and Teeny doesn’t know who she can trust. With evidence mounting and the heat turning up, Teeny must also figure out where to live, how to support herself, how to clear her name, and how to protect her heart.

Visit Michael Lee West’s website & blog.
