Since November 2009American Saturdays Book News: Maybe This Time by Jennifer Crusie
August 28th, 2010 by Danielle
Out this week, 31st of August to be exact, is Jennifer Crusie’s most recently release Maybe This Time. I’m dying to read it! Honestly when I originally saw the cover posted at Tales of Whimsy I wanted to get my hands on it as soon as possible. As it turns out, I’m going to be picking it up this week for sure and hoping to be reading it very very soon! What do you think? Love the cover as much as I do? Here’s the synopsis:
Andie Miller is ready to move on in life. She wants to marry her fiancé and leave behind everything in her past, especially her ex-husband, North Archer. But when Andie tries to gain closure with him, he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways forever. A very distant cousin of his has died and left North as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already, and things are getting worse. He needs a very special person to take care of the situation and he knows Andie can handle anything. When Andie meets the two children she quickly realizes things are much worse than she feared. The place is a mess, the children, Carter and Alice, aren’t your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. What’s worse, Andie’s fiancé thinks this is all a plan by North to get Andie back, and he may be right. Andie’s dreams have been haunted by North since she arrived at the old house. And that’s not the only haunting. What follows is a hilarious adventure in exorcism, including a self-doubting parapsychologist, an annoyed medium, her Tarot-card reading mother, an avenging ex-mother-inlaw, and, of course, her jealous fiancé. And just when she thinks things couldn’t get more complicated, North shows up on the doorstep making her wonder if maybe this time things could be different between them. If Andie can just get rid of all the guests and ghosts, she’s pretty sure she can save the kids, and herself, from the past. But fate might just have another thing in mind…

I love Jennifer Crusie and also am very excited to read this next book. I love this site. I have just finished reading all of the Jill Mansell books I can get my hands on here in the US, now I am going to have to get them from overseas. Any suggestions?
