Description:
Sheila Rabe's stories are never simple--no "girl meets boy of her dreams, falls in love, and lives happily ever after" formula for this dynamic author. Rabe's humorous style and intimate understanding of the convoluted, complicated nature of the human heart turns each of her novels into a thrilling ride of "will they or won't they?" Of course they will! In A Prince of a Guy, widowed psychologist Dr. Kate Stonewall is successfully juggling single parenthood with her two terrific kids, a highly rated radio program about to be syndicated, and a new book deal. Just when things are looking pretty good, Kate's radio nemesis, hunky "Jock Talk" host Jeff Harding, moves in next door. Kate hates sports; mostly she hates the way men act like athletics are the center of the universe. As if the loud parties and Jeff's too young, too blond, too perfect girlfriend weren't enough, Kate's baseball-crazy, but hopelessly uncoordinated, young son, Robbie, thinks Jeff is the cat's meow. But to Kate, Jeff is just a well-muscled pain in her backside. So while Jeff is teaching Robbie to keep his eyes on the ball, Kate is keeping her eyes on Jeff. So what if she starts noticing not only his amazing pecs but also his kind attention to her children? Sheila Rabe cooks up a perfect "opposites attract" tale with a spitfire for Cinderella and her unlikely prince. --Alison Trinkle
