| Clay Creek, Arkansas – Present Day Mylie has lived in Clay Creek her whole life and runs a bait and tackle shop with her best friend Jodie. It’s spring and they are gearing up for the fishing season, including the town’s annual fishing contest in June. She has lived all her life with her beloved Granny along with her half-sister Cassie. To Mylie’s surprise, her old friend Ben suddenly arrives in town and shows up at the house next door. Ben is in town to get his late grandfather’s house ready to be sold. Old memories of the attraction she felt for him resurface. Nothing ever happened between them despite their closeness. Will things change while he’s back in town? Ben went away after he graduated from high school to get a college degree and is currently between college teaching jobs. He is fulfilling the request of his late mother to stay in Clay Creek to sell the place. Returning is a bit awkward for Ben. He was always seen as a nerd while Mylie was the life of the party. While he wishes they could have been a thing, it never worked out. Meeting her again stirs those old feelings. Ben is one of the good guys and always helps others. In fact, he offers to help Mylie with the fishing contest—and to keep an old nemesis out of her hair. Will Ben get a second chance with the woman he never forgot? Along the way, readers will be laughing and rooting for Mylie and Ben to somehow make it work. SPRING FLING has many colorful characters besides Ben and Mylie. Granny is a hoot who swigs homemade moonshine and isn’t afraid to offer opinions even if it’s not wanted. Robbie is the villain in this tale. He went to school with Mylie and Ben and had been a pain in the rear back then. Mylie recently fired him, but the man is bent on revenge and pops up from time to time. Mylie’s friends are always available to offer advice, and just like any small town, everyone likes to make it their business to find out what’s going on. Readers will be chuckling as the circus swirling around our couple has them heading for their own little sanctuary. It takes some time, but what Mylie and Ben missed out on when they were younger soon becomes a reality. The big question is whether Ben will leave town as he planned. A cute and funny tale that is a breeze to read, SPRING FLING should be on your reading list if you’re looking for a quick and entertaining book to read. The characters are fun, and the banter will have you laughing out loud. There is a lot of action going on, such as the neighborhood raccoon and teenage Cassie having boyfriend issues. Ben and Mylie dance around their feelings for most of SPRING FLING, but once they give in, it’s an enjoyable and bumpy ride to the end. Don’t miss this sizzling tale. Patti Fischer |
