Adding insult to injury, her fianc\u00e9 slaps a restraining order on her. When he\u2019s found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_3_0_1_1339679757315_4106\">And stir like crazy!<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_3_0_1_1339679757315_4109\">Her only hope is through an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke her heart a decade ago.

If you are looking for Shakespeare, forget about this book. However, if you are just looking for an out and out fun read, then you have found it with this book. Having grown up in the greater Boston area I could see where people outside of the Southeast might find the characters unbelievable, but having lived in Charleston, SC for close to twenty years, I can attest to the authenticity of these characters. In fact, I actually told two women, aka Southern Bells or should I say &#8220;Southern Cuckoos&#8221;\u009d who I work with, Ms. Sheri Harmon and Ms. Nina Johnson-West, that they had to read this book as I could definitely picture them throughout some of these pages. So, if you want a good laugh and some out and out entertainment be sure to check out <em>Gone with a Handsomer Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed by <span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">Ruth Fortini<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.noblenet.org\/eg\/opac\/record\/3089870\"><em>Check the catalog for the availability of this title.<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publisher&#8217;s Summary: &#8220;Take one out-of-work pastry chef . . .
