Still the One by #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery, originally published in 2002 as Good Husband Material
When Kari Asbury left Possum Landing, Texas, for New York City eight years ago, she was thinking only of the future--not of her ex-boyfriend, Gage, the one she left without saying goodbye.
Gage Reynolds had planned to propose to Kari on the night of her prom but instead he finds himself jilted and abandoned without a word. Shocked and heartbroken, Gage does his best to move on, building a life in Possum Landing and working his way up to becoming the town sheriff. He's all but forgotten Kari--until she comes back to sell her grandmother's house and turns his carefully built world upside down.

Susan Mallery's Good Husband Material is a quick, fun read that will quench your romantic thirst. The story is about Gage and Kari two star crossed lovers whom were engaged to be married eight years prior before Kari decided she needed to leave Possum Landing, Texas (yes thats the towns name) to persue a modeling career in New York City. Well Kari finds herself back in Landing to fix up and sell her grandmothers home. Little does she know that Gage her once big time love is the sheriff in Possum Landing and he's wanting to get reacquainted with her. Yet even though Kari wants to stay only for the summer to take care of the home, she cant stop the physical attraction she has for Gage.What I love most about the two main characters were that they had fresh and witty humor and even after eight years of being apart they were so intuned with one another. Mallery weaves an interesting storyline concerning Gage's mother and his past which makes for emotional dialogue that proves that even the perfect picture family has there troubles. But what stood out the most is the sizzling love scenes. They were erotic, sensual,and emotional. You really wanted these two to consummate there relationship the moment they hook up. There are also funny secondary characters like Ida Mae and a small town bad girl named Daisy. Mallery has done an excellent job of telling Gage and Kari's story with depth, humor and definite romance. Its the kinda book you can read in one day..(I SURE DID)..hopefully they'll will be a story about Gage's brother Quinn which I will pick up the minute I see it on the shelves. You wont regret picking this fun read..you wont want to put it down.
