Flirting With Disaster

By Sherryl Woods

Opposites attract, but they don’t last.

At least that’s what improper Southern belle Maggie Forsythe thinks after being unceremoniously dumped two weeks before getting hitched to a man even her mother approves of. Maggie has never given two figs what anyone thinks, so why is she hiding away from her South Carolina Low Country home?

That is until concerned—albeit scheming—friends arrive with three options: One: Sit and mope. Two: Go home to her gallery. Three: Help them build a house for a needy family and make a difference for once. But one look at Maggie, and project foreman Josh Parker knows what kind of sweet-tea-swilling debutante he’s dealingwith. Even if she does know her way around a circular saw.

Sure, they have enough sparks to ignite a bonfire, but he’s corn bread to her caviar. And if there’s anything he’s learned from growing up broke, it’s better to aim low than risk everything and lose.

“Sherryl Woods is a uniquely gifted writer whose deep understanding of human nature is woven into every page. ” — New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers

Reviews for Flirting With Disaster

[annehudson_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Maggie has had a privileged upbringing but runs her own business. A personal issue means that she is coerced into helping out with the building of a home for a family in need. There is immediate attraction between herself and the project leader, Josh. There are challenges in their relationship, in the project, with their families and in the running of her business.This is really a story about people from two different classes coming together - the rich and the poor. It does use a lot of cliches to make the point but cuts through quite a few too. There is a threat to Maggie which is not wholly believable but provides the opportunity for the two main characters to come together a lot.Entertaining and not as superficial as it could have been.
