A Bad Day for Sorry Book

WOW!!! What a great first book!!

Stella is a woman who sells sewing notions by day and takes care of her wayward "parolees" at night. Make no mistake Stella ain't your typical momma. Stella took abuse from her husband of 30 years and one day she had had enough and he ended up dead at the end of big wrench. Now she helps other ladies with those kinds of issues. The good thing is when her "parolees" start behaving badly, no reason to get the pesky law involved, just go have a talk with the dear old guy and straighten him right up. Nothing says Honey I love you, but you must change like rope, a ball-gag and a ball-peen hammer. Stella isn't mean or cruel, she just fixes what needs to be fixed.

But Stella is finally waking up a bit or at least parts of her are. Was that Big Johnson flirting with her? and is Big Johnson his name because he is a big guy or did he get it for other appendages that he might have....curious people want to know. But there is only one guy who sizzles Stella's bacon and of course he is completely OFF LIMITS! No matter how attractive he might be with his tall, bald, broad self, Goat is the Sheriff and probably wouldn't take kindly to Stella's "mentoring" program, regardless of how effective it is. A woman sure can fantasize though can't she?

However when one of Stella's ladies comes up with her toddler kidnapped and it all points to one of her parolees, then all bets are off. No one gets between her and her man...err toddler, not even the eyes so blue they make you weak Sheriff.

I loved Stella, she was feisty, human and prone to weaknesses just like all of us. Although abuse is not funny in any way, I thought that SL handled it with grace and tact. This is absolutely not my last Stella Hardesty book!
