Twenty-three-year-old Maryanne "Annie" Simpson has led a life of privilege since the day she was born. Being the daughter of a prominent business-owner who's practically in charge of the publishing world can do that for you. So, upon college graduation, Maryanne decides to do something great: land a job in journalism. Now, for the average person, this could be a tremendous feat, but for Annie, well...in the flash of an eye she has uprooted herself from her cushy New York penthouse apartment, and traveled to the drizzly city of Seattle, where she's keeping herself warm in a lavish building known as The Seattle. It is here that her father has arranged a wonderful job as a columnist for one of his papers: the "Seattle Review." Maryanne is happy with her job, and attempts to show her co-workers just how hard she is willing to work to keep it. But when Nolan Adams, a columnist for the "Seattle Sun" - a rival newspaper - begins writing his columns about Maryanne, referring to her as "the deb" - short for debutante - leaving his legion of fans salivating over the new information he feels he is obligated to share with the city, Maryanne gets upset. For suddenly she realizes that Nolan's columns, as hurtful as they are, are absolutely true. Without her father pulling various strings, she would never have made it through the front door of the "Seattle Review." Now, she's decided to change her life for the better, with a little help from the reluctant Nolan, who blames himself for the mess he's created. And within due time, Maryanne finds herself falling for the rumpled reporter, and hoping more than anything that he shares her feelings. I am fascinated with the newspaper business, so stumbling upon HERE COMES TROUBLE was like a dream come true for me. Debbie Macomber, as usual, has created two enchanting young characters, whose lives revolve around writing and trying to avoid the inevitable: falling for one another. While Maryanne has always lived the life of luxury, she is not a spoiled, cold-hearted character who holds herself above others. Quite the opposite, in fact. Maryanne is a fantastic character, whose spirits are bright in every situation. A young woman who tries to make the best of everything, whether trying her hand at freelancing, or winning the affections of the grouchy Mr. Adams. Nolan, on the other hand, is a grumbling, mumbling, rumpled old detective type, who fits my ideas of an investigative reporter/novelist to a T. His long hours spent clacking away at his typewriter are something that any writer can relate to; while his kindness to the neighborhood teenagers is admirable, and almost a shocking revelation. Together, Maryanne and Nolan create quite a duo. The chemistry between these two characters is absolutely undeniable, and their personalities play off of one another perfectly - always at each others throats, yet in love with one another at the same time. If romance like this is known as trouble, be ready to become immersed in it.
