Book Overview

Her ex's brother? No way. Even if ...

Seasons in a Small Town - Summer

Pretty, popular Jennifer once seemed to be the girl who had it made. Queen of the prom and everything else in small-town Drago, Illinois. She always knew appearances could be deceiving.

And then her no-good ex-husband walked out on her and their daughter, leaving behind debt, blame, and doubts. Jennifer rises to the challenge, vowing to show them all that she can make her own way, especially her vulnerable young daughter. But who'd expect a dusty old car dealership might turn out to be her saving grace.

Or will it - and Trent Stenner - be her downfall?

Yes, that Trent Stenner. A former NFL football star turned successful executive now returning to his hometown, who also happens to be her ex's brother.

And now he's also seeing value in the dealership that once was a thriving family business. But that's where their plans diverge. Jennifer's for selling, Trent's for rescuing.

Trent respects Jennifer's whipsmart business approach and admires her mothering of his unsettled niece. But surely he could help out a little ... and maybe explore the chemistry between them. Despite family tangles that would challenge an escape artist.

It's that rescuing tendency of his that makes Jennifer uneasy about Trent. She's finding her independence, proving her abilities, and modeling that for her daughter. She's not about to back off from those advances. Even when they're working closely together. Very closely...

The Right Brother, Book 2 of USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn's Seasons in a Small Town series, will captivate readers who love passionate contemporary romance with a spark of humor.

Four Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies

Jennifer Truesdale Stenner is barely making ends meet. The slow economy of the town she lives in and the fact that her ex-husband does not meet the needs of his child support agreement have kept Jennifer deeply in debt. She receives news that there might be an offer for the old car dealership that was part of her divorce settlement. Jennifer jumps at the chance to make improvements to the place to attract the prospective buyer. If she can sell the place for a respectable price, she'll be able to spend more time with her daughter. Trent Stenner, former Drago resident and ex-brother-in-law to Jennifer, is surprised and a bit perplexed at Jennifer's financial situation. He wants to help her out without her thinking it is charity. He makes plans to buy the dealership and employs Jennifer as one of his managers. Trent is taken aback at Jennifer's intelligence and willingness to make the dealership profitable. His family's lack of support for their grandchild amazes him. He figures there is just one thing he can do; falling in love isn't it though. THE RIGHT BROTHER by Patricia McLinn revisits the town of Drago. Fully expecting a poignant, heart warming story, I wasn't disappointed. While I found it hard to like Jennifer's daughter, I understood her attitude. I found myself getting upset with the town's treatment of Trent, but I smiled in glee when he showed them exactly what type of man he is. As for Jennifer--Jennifer wove her way into my heart. As a single parent in a previous life, I found her money situation true to life and extremely tough to read. She had guts and tenacity as only single mothers can have and for that I was pleased. THE RIGHT BROTHER is a great afternoon read. The town of Drago has insinuated itself into my heart and I can only hope there is another installment with this small town as its setting.
