At last! A category romance that doesn’t seem to have my brain hemorrhage on its agenda. Now that’s an event to celebrate!

Say Yes is a fun story despite its slow start, and I do adore a story where it is the woman who wants a fling instead of the man as is the norm. Sara Simmons, in the start of the story, wants to practice her golf swing with a rake and with neighbor Gavin Blake’s ex-girlfriend’s head as the ball. She has caught Gavin’s ex in bed with her boyfriend, so she is very eager to see that head flying off that cheating woman’s shoulders.

Fortunately for Sara, she calms down a bit and realizes what a hottie Gavin is. Gavin lets her know that he has waited long enough and he definitely wants to be the next and last man in her bed. Our heroine is, understandably, off men at the moment. But that doesn’t stop her from having a fling, right?

Too bad Gavin decides that his new motto would be “Why would people buy the cow if the milk is free?” (err…) and decides not to give away his body for free. It’s all the way or no go. But not if Sara has her way!

Along the way Gavin watches in befuddlement as Sara keeps adding dogs to her already chaotic menagerie.

Say Yes could have easily gone wrong and turn into a long, tedious case of a sensitive hero babysitting a shrill, insecure whiner, but instead, it turns into a light, fun, delightful romp. No, Sara isn’t a twit, and she definitely isn’t a Barbie doll. The fun really starts the moment ugly grumpy Satan (if you ask Gavin) or Satin (if you ask Sara) comes into the scene.

Gavin is a man to die for, and Sara is his worthy match in fun and banter. This one is definitely entertainment with a capital E.

Lori Foster’s Say Yes has me doing just that. Yes, oh yes, more please. Four oogies!
