Bottom Line: Heidi Elliott Series, Number Two: Volume 2 - Tapa blanda

The Moms’ Group that saved Heidi Elliott’s sanity has gone on hiatus, as have any ideas about dropping the weight (in all the wrong places) and keeping the curves (in all the right ones). In their place, the Friday Strut-n-Stroll provides, if nothing else, two miles of adult company and the outside chance to use polysyllabic words. As much as she has loved being home for Nora’s first steps, words, and forays into makeup artistry, Heidi misses working, not to mention money for pedicures. And her husband, Jake, seems increasingly worried about their dwindling bank balance. So when the beautiful Kylie Zimmerman, with a wave of her multi-carat-laden fingers, dangles the chance to become part of a “life-enhancing, woman-affirming business opportunity,” Heidi takes the bait. After all, what does she have to lose?

Kimberly Stuart is the author of the Heidi Elliott series and three other stand-alone novels. With her trademark humor and offbeat characters, Stuart writes romantic comedies that are intended to make readers laugh often and cry once. Maybe twice. Any more than that and you’re not jiving with her sense of humor. Kimberly makes her home in Iowa with one fantastic husband and three wily children.
