Synopsis:

How do you have a life when everyone in America thinks you gave the president-elect a fatal heart attack during an illicit sex romp?
Emma Jamison never thought she'd have to answer that question, but here she is, smack dab in the middle of a political scandal that would make Monica Lewinsky blush. Trouble is, nobody believes that Emma wasn't the call-girl who killed the president-to-be with her, uh, carnal skills.
So Emma packs up and moves to small-town Chartreuse, LA, to escape her infamy and to start over. But when her grandmother starts dating the grandfather of district attorney Max Duval, the quiet life she was seeking blows up in smoke.
 

SRR GRADE:  A
 

Poor Emma Jamison, she literally runs away from the scene of the president-elect's death bed only to find out that everyone believes that she was the woman having an affair with him, and responsible for his heart attack. Every attempt to clear her name fails, leaving her the most notorious and well-known woman in the country. Being the opposite of a publicity hound, Emma retreats to her grandmother's small hometown of Chartreuse, Louisiana to hide from the world and reclaim her life, only to find the scandal has followed her there as well. When she meets and falls for the last man needing negative publicity, she knows her life could not get any worse – or could it?

Robin Wells has written a very humorous and touching story of mistaken identity gone way wrong in Between the Sheets. The charm and appeal of the Duval men is undeniable; is it easy to see how Emma and her grandmother could fall for Max and his grandfather so thoroughly and quickly. It is nice to see that the inhabitants of Chartreuse are not caricatures of what people expect from small southern towns; Ms. Wells gives her characters very individual and certainly memorable personalities without making them clownish bores. This is an outstanding book, one well worth reading. I found myself laughing out loud several times, which is one of the best recommendations any reader can give a book!
