| Synopsis: | Reeling from the loss of her mother, plagued with a bad case of writer's block (and don't even talk about those extra twenty pounds), Renata DeChavannes feels as though everything is just plain wrong. And that was before the tabloids caught her sweetheart, filmmaker Ferg Lauderdale, sharing an intimate squeeze with Hollywood's hottest young tamale. But the granddaughter of the formidable Honora DeChavannes possesses more hell than belle in her backbone -- and she's about to reclaim it. Heading south to Honora's home on the Gulf Coast, Renata is determined to stop feeling like a wilted gardenia and emerge as the unstoppable kudzu her beloved grandmother proudly proclaimed she would be. But for that to happen Renata's got to face some not-so-genteel ghosts from her past, discover the truth about the mother she desperately misses, and make peace with the first man who abandoned her and broke her heart: her handsome and distant father. |

| If you still want to read this book but don't want to read the sex scenes (and it won't cause the story to be confusing at all), just skip pages 178 through 183 and start back at the top of 184. Also the very end of the book, page 283 just skip the first half of the page, continue after the break in the page. Two other things to be aware of is that there is basically non-stop alcohol drinking and very casual prescription drug use. |
