Description:
In this witty, sexy tale, an erotic novelist meets the fictional hero of her most recent book in real life, and must decide whether she wants to get him back between the pages—or between her sheets. At forty-six, Sadie Fuller’s life isn’t exactly romantic. A divorced, overweight, somewhat sexually frustrated mother of an eleven-year-old, she lives in the suburbs, shops the big box stores, makes small talk with her small-minded neighbors, and generally leads a quiet life. But while her daughter is at school, or when Sadie is up late at night, she writes erotic fiction under the name KT Briggs.

Then, during a routine shopping trip, Sadie runs into someone familiar…too familiar, in fact. She encounters an incredibly handsome man exactly like the one in her imagination—and her latest novel. Is Aidan Hathaway really one of her characters? And if so, what is he doing in Target? As Sadie tries to negotiate this strange new world, her eyes begin to open to romantic possibilities in places she never dreamed of looking… places where Happily Ever After might not be so far-fetched after all.

 

Review:

HAPPILY EVER AFTER by Elizabeth Maxwell is in a class of novels that can cause “snaughling”.  That is laughing so hard you snort, then laughing because you snorted!  This is a novel that is really out there at times, but it is a fun and quirky read.

Sadie Fuller is a divorced 46 year old woman who is a little overweight, raising her daughter in the suburbs and who writes erotica at night!  Poor Sadie even had to find a man on Craigslist to have sex with once a week!  She is an expert at creating fabulous characters who have the most amazing sex ever, but her own life is not very exciting.  

Her life changes when she runs into a man at Target who looked oddly familiar!  He is the sexy, uber-hot, character from her latest novel!  What in the heck is happening?  How has her hunky hero come to life? Her neighbors are envious when the handsome “Aidan Hathaway” shows up at a school charity event.  Even her gay ex-husband is wondering what is going on!   As Sadie tries to solve this mystery, other characters start to show up and she and her characters need to figure out how to break a spell so that they can all live “happily ever after”!! Maybe Sadie didn’t realize that her own happiness was right under her nose. 

This was a fun and totally original novel that will lead to much “snaughling”.  Come up, you know you want to read it now!!   Enjoy!

  21. What a lively and entertaining sounding book!!! It’s not that often that the heroines in romance stories are 20 something’s and not 40+ mom’s with kids living a relatively boring life. I would l really love to read this amusing book and thank you for giving me the chance!

  34. This sounds like a great book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
