The star turn in "Shear Luck" is Kandi, whose name alone suggests a certain lack of sophistication, and the author wrings any amount of humour out of Kandi’s undemanding perceptions of life’s aims and purposes - most of which centre on personal presentation. But being stranded in Alaska, close to an eligible but seemingly unreachable man, brings out other sides of this resourceful and appealing woman. What I loved about Kandi’s blossoming is that it’s convincingly based on who she is: her very superficiality becomes a fund of values concerning family, taking initiative, and making in every sense the most of herself. And, this being a romance novel, the chemistry doesn’t fail and the coming together of Kandi and Mario (whose struggles with heritage and preconceptions are just as challenging) will certainly not disappoint.
