The characters are rather interesting, as is the action the local teacher takes to try to capture our bachelor's interest. I don't like the portrayal of the teacher as she comes across as nasty and vindictive (I would have been happier had she been an administrator, since her actions would have been more believeable), but it serves its purpose in creating awkward situations and mortifying instances that move the story along.

This is the second book in the Chandler Bros. series. It is much better than the first book, and these characters are more interesting and the heroine is very amusing. Rick is the local cop and Kendall is just" passing"" thru and is stranded in a wedding dress with pink hair. so begins the story of these two. It includes Mother Chandler who is a busy body and manipulator par excellent, trying to get her sons married.
But the repartee between Rick and Kendall is often very funny and makes for pleasant reading.
