"...the steam rolls and you get a lump in your throat wanting to be her."
This read gives "over 40" girls hope that Mr. Right is out there somewhere. For anyone who's loved and lost this story is a dream come true. It gives you hope because it's based on a principal I've always heard and believed: when you stop looking for love it'll fall in your lap.
Dixie Carmichael—a flaming haired, hot, full figured body full of love—was used and abused by a man that had no idea what he was loosing when he lost her. She'd always done what other people wanted her to all her life. She felt like she'd never lived or done anything that really made her happy. But now that her no acount ex-husband had moved on and was living with his perfect 10 (body, no brain) new wife, she was single. So she was trading her waitress job in to be a top notch reporter. She might have to start at the local newspaper, but she had a dream to make the big time. And after the day she has to face the possibility of breast cancer, she decides she's going to make herself top priority. There'll be no more seconds for her. She's going to live her dreams...
Nick Romero was tired. He was tired of jumping from town to town. He was tired of not having a home to come back to. He loved being an FBI agent, but he's seen too much and shot one time too many. He's ready to settle down. He doesn't want to go to another small, hick town in the middle of Capital No Where to look for another bad guy. But he lets himself get talked into one last assignement where he has to go after a bad guy smuggling fake merchandise into the US. This time, though, would be his last. He has to rest and get to that cooking he's been wanting to do.
Nick falls into Dixie's life. That simple. But to keep him there would be one of the hardest things for both of them.
After Nick moves into town, opening his make believe restaurant as his cover, he meets the most incredible woman. Sparks fly from all ends for these two. With Dixie's reporter nose and Nick's overprotective self, these two have so many head bumpings it makes you wonder if their relationship's worth them continuing. That is, until they really get together and all it takes is one kiss. Then the steam rolls and you get a lump in your throat wanting to be her. Nick loves her, and it doesn't matter that she's not a runway model...he thinks she is.
But standing in their way is the fact that he knows he has to catch the bad guy and Dixie knows she has to catch the story. As always, their story proves that if two people work together and they're honest with each other, life seems to always turn out much better.
If you're intrigued by their circumstances, you'll have to read the book to find out who really wins...believe me, it's worth the read!

Book Description for A Fabulous Wedding
After a health scare leaves Dixie Carmichael shaking in her cowboy boots, she puts her deli job on the back burner and pursues a lifelong dream of becoming an ace reporter. Ready to make a flaming statement about her brand-new outlook, she hustles on over to the hair salon—only to trip over Whistlers Bend's newest stranger and the hottest story in town.
FBI agent Nick Romero has seen far too much action, and he knows the feisty, curvaceous woman with a talent for playing detective could get herself hurt. The longer he's undercover, the more he needs her help. But what he really needs is to convince her the big city isn't the place to be, that she should stay in Whistlers Bend, Montana, with him and give him his first—and fabulous—chance to settle down.
