#15: Falling for Gracie by Susan Mallery

I found this book at my local Borders during its going out of business sale and bought it because I like Susan Mallery's books and had never read it.  Falling for Gracie was a great read and made me realize that Susan Mallery is one of my favorite Romance writers.  I will admit, there are scenes in this book that are quite steamy, so if this sort of thing does not appeal to you, you should steer clear of this book (and perhaps all of Susan Mallery's books).  But, the story line is so good that the 2-3 steamy sections did not seem to be all for show (or all in the name of a Romance novel) and fit right in to the plot.  I think this is why I continue to come back to Susan Mallery's books.  Hers are not typical Romance novels that you can predict the ending of in the first chapter.  She throws in so many twists and turns that you are kept on your toes, are required to pay close attention, and are never disappointed.  Falling for Gracie is no exception!  I have to admit that I loved Gracie's character, but her sisters made me crazy.  I furthermore loved Riley's character, but want to know where all of the 98 million dollar millionaires are in real life?  Especially one who is depicted to be as hunky as Riley!  I guess that's the whole point of a Romance book.  They are not supposed to mirror real-life. They take real life and turn it into what we'd prefer it to be!  And that, my friends, is why I keep reading them.
