Description

In this classic novel from Debbie Macomber—available for the first time as an eBook—a feisty waitress and a handsome professor receive an education in love over Chaucer and chicken-pot pie.

Meghan O'Day isn't sure what captures her fancy more: the sexy stranger in her Wichita diner or his reading material. Before long, Grey Carlyle becomes a regular, ordering the nightly specials and chatting with the spirited redhead about the classics. Certain that her favorite customer has an show more appetite for more than home cooking, Meghan decides it's time to teach the good professor a thing or two about romance.

Grey notices the sparkle in Meghan's eyes the moment she opens up about her passion for literature. She's the breath of fresh air and joy this reserved and lonely teacher needs in his life. They say opposites attract, and Grey becomes a true believer each time he holds Meghan in his arms—even as they hit a few speed bumps on the road to togetherness. But if Grey knows anything about great books, it's that the best tales always have a happy ending.
BONUS: This edition includes excerpts from Debbie Macomber's The Inn at Rose Harbor and Dashing Through the Snow.

I enjoyed this clean romance. I voluntarily chose to review this and I've given it a 4.5* rating. This required the heroine to grow up a little more and get a little more self confidence at the same time. There were funny bits thrown in through this also. Add siblings and family life, and I just had to laugh out loud. This was a nice weekend read.

In Macomber’s romantic novel, Professor Grey Carlyle falls for waitress Meghan O’Day. Meghan is confused as to how an educated man of wealth could fall for a mere self-educated waitress like herself. It seems the only thing they have in common is a love of literature or is it? Could two people with a love of books also find love with each other?

Another great romance by a master.
Not the worst thing I ever read, not the best. Reading Debbie Macomber is always a nice way to spend the afternoon. My more detailed review here:
