What if the perfect job was dangled right in front of you? The only catch: Fix an unfixable problem—oh, and it’s in the middle of nowhere. Would you leave your friends, your lover, your world? Would you sacrifice your reputation and your pride? Would you sell your very soul?
Susan Wade has designed a fabulous future for herself. She’s shed all things southern to become a sophisticated and uncompromising urban business woman with a promising career in the tech industry. But her plans begin to unravel with the promise of a fabulous promotion. To earn it, she must clean up a public relations nightmare in the worst place she can possibly imagine. Home.
Within days of beginning her risky assignment, Susan meets her romantically challenged officemate, a cast of ridiculous, but endearing characters, and Pete Walsh, an arrogant local businessman who makes it his life’s mission to torment her. Through explosive and hilarious clashes that land her flat on her butt more often than not, Pete challenges her values, blind ambition, skewed conception of love, and ultimately her ignorance; that in the frenzy to achieve her professional goals, she's lost sight of what's really important in life.
So grab a big glass of iced tea, crank up the southern rock, and travel to beautiful coastal North Carolina. Tissues recommended, but not required.

Caught Up In Me by Virginia Gray is a marvelous book. Even though this isn’t officially a “series”, it is best to read Suddenly Susan first. Caught Up In Me is sold as a romantic comedy, but it is so much more than that. This story has such wonderful depth to it. It is horrendously long but worth it. Trigger warnings: There is quite a bit of sex in it (one of the best ones I have ever read too) and a horrific rape scene that had me in tears.  I started this on a Friday evening and finally finished it at 2 A.M. Monday morning. I would have finished it sooner, but I have people in my life who expect to eat. The selfish B’s. I loved Gray’s nose thumbing at the South. I’m a Southerner born and bred and can relate to her heroine’s qualms about the South. It is a place of contradictions. Thank you Ms. Gray for a lovely ride.
