Sweet Cravings, #7, the Laurel Ridge seres

 Can a blind date gone wrong with multiple do-overs gone wrong ever become a relationship gone right?

 Wild Women Authors welcomes you back to Laurel Ridge, a small Town in south Georgia where a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle is fished out of Lake Whippoorwill, creating a storyline thread that involves 7 couples, former classmates, best friends, town residents, or strangers who walk in and out of all seven stories at any given time. Today we look at Sweet Cravings, the last in this inventive series of short novellas written by Diana Stout.  

About Sweet Cravings: Even though acclaimed mechanic JoJo Wheeler thrives on the toughest of challenges when restoring engines, she’s given up on personal relationships and all the challenges. Attorney Joe Benton doesn’t believe dating is worth the effort anymore either.

When both are coerced into a blind date by their best friends, JoJo—who has perfected the art of giving herself a quick out—insists on no dinner. With Joe prepared for the usual first-date disappointment, he chooses a simple event—a sunset viewing on the lake's shore. How could anything go wrong? Without giving away the gory deets, it’s a hoot.

They agree on a do-over—and another and another—each one equally as disastrous. Despite that sad series of events, their connection is sizzling. JoJo knows her time in Laurel Ridge is limited and returning home to Atlanta is inevitable. She’s not open to long-distance love affairs, nor putting her business second to a love interest. She's convinced the fairy tale ending wasn't meant for her. But, is it?

Can this meant-to-be couple conquer their cynical natures when happiness is within desire's reach?
