Pity Cupid isn't.Smart-mouth Ruth is an inspirational humour columnist for a popular women's magazine. Recently divorced, she has found the love of her life. Without any help, mind you, from the little fat love god. Ruth has decided she herself is her one and only.And she's in a comfy place. Why wouldn't she be? No need to yell 'Put the bloody toilet seat down!' No need to hoover toe-nail clippings off the carpet.But then a silver-tongued Prince Charming fronts up in his shiny Merc and tickles her discarded, little-girl fantasies. He tells her their love is written in the stars.It must be a misprint!A romance with this particular PC is not so PC. Still ...Ruth's life plays out more like ancient myth than fairytale. And what hot-blooded woman can resist forbidden fruit?There's a problem, though. Ruth does not have a hot-blooded mum. Ruth has a pain-in-the-arse mum whose squawking disapproval cranks the taboo up a notch.All the more reason to take up with the stud! But it means taking on the harpy.Tensions mount, and even Ruth's man can't protect her from the trash-talking voices in her head. It looks like he can't muzzle his own either. When an earth-shattering revelation causes him to give her grief, it makes her feel like she's dating her mother.Taking the kind of advice she doles out to her readers is not so easy, and Ruth wonders if this love can survive. More to the point, is it worth the trouble?Book 2 in the Ruth Roth Series.

Houseman's gift to her readers is one that is almost a therapeutic session. She shares insights, emotions and the reality of relationships that both captivates and helps to ease one into looking at things in a different light ... prepare for hours of laughter as well as a book that will stick with you long after you turn the last page.
