Lacey
Lancaster has had it with men. Since she divorced her lying, cheating husband,
she has tried to live her life on her own terms but when her sexy neighbor’s
cat decides to get her purebred Abyssinian cat pregnant, well let’s just say
Lacey’s life just got interesting. The only question is will she let herself
fall in love with a man who may be her prince charming?
Debbie
Macomber does wonderful heartfelt stories about real people who experience real
problems. In FAMILY AFFAIR, the reader is introduced to Lacey, her cat
Cleo and her neighbor Jack who has a tomcat named dog. It is full of
predictable plot twists but the story charms you as you find yourself falling
for these two characters and their respective pets. This was a novella length
story so if you are looking for one of Ms. Macomber’s stories, this isn’t it.
This is a perfect morsel to enjoy on a lazy afternoon.
I do have to
admit, this wasn’t my favorite Debbie Macomber story but it also wasn’t the
worst book either. If you go into this book expecting something other than
that, then you will be disappointed. The characters are well defined, the story
moves along nicely and the ending ties up in a predictable bow. Ms. Macomber is
a master at creating enjoyable, emotional stories to wrap their way around a
reader’s heart. FAMILY AFFAIR is a light hearted enjoyable read that
will charm the reader from the first page to the last. With an added bonus
story to wet the reader’s imagination, FAMILY AFFAIR is one book you get
‘two for the price of 1’. The other stories showcased were ’The Bet’ and a
glimpse into other Debbie Macomber books which some I never read before so that
got me adding to my wish list.
A FAMILY
AFFAIR is a story
that will give you an entertaining read from start to finish. I look forward to
seeing what else this author has up her sleeve in the future.
