THANKSGIVING
By Janet Evanovich – to be discussed on Wed. Nov. 4, 2015 at Geneseo
Public Library
When
Megan Murphy discovered a floppy-eared rabbit gnawing on the hem of her skirt,
she meant to give his careless owner a piece of her mind — but Dr. Patrick
Hunter was too attractive to stay mad at for long! With his husky bedroom voice
he teased her, with his eyes the color of a stormy ocean he tantalized her… and
soon she found herself falling irresistibly, helplessly in love. Maybe it was
her gloriously silky red hair or the freckles on her nose, or maybe just her
adorable sense of whimsy that made Pat want to carry his lovely temptress off
to his old-fashioned four-poster bed. Playing house together, making
Thanksgiving dinner for their families, filled them both with a longing for the
sweet times to last. But Megan had wept over one failed love, and it hurt so
much to risk again. Could the doctor who kissed her breathless help heal her
heart?
