Great Aunt Sophia's Lessons for Bombshells, June 2012
Ever dream of being transformed into a bombshell?
Grace Cavanaugh thinks she’s in for an easy, lazy summer when she takes a job as companion to her great aunt Sophia in Pebble Beach. She’ll dab spittle from her aunt’s chin, watch ‘Animal Planet’, and work on her dissertation for her PhD in Women’s Studies.
But Sophia has other plans. With a tart tongue that would put Bette Davis to shame, Sophia sets about transforming her dumpy great-niece into a copy of the B-movie bombshell Sophia once was, and in the process teaches her a thing or two about men, sexual liberation, and power.
Caught in Sophia’s web along with Grace are Declan O’Brien, the college football star turned financial advisor, and Dr. Andrew Pritchard, Sophia’s dewy-cheeked personal physician. Declan makes Grace’s body melt, but it’s Andrew who seems to be on her same mental wavelength.
By the time the summer’s over, though, Grace isn’t going to know whether she’s a scholar or a bombshell, or maybe a little bit of both.
The reviews are in!
“…Cach’s version of the age-old ugly duckling story has an undeniable appeal. It’s sure to be a frothy hit with any self-conscious woman sitting on a beach draped under a cover-up, dreaming of her own Cinderella-style makeover at the hands of a fairy godmother—or great aunt Sophia.”— Patty Wetli, Booklist
