Diary of a Domestic Goddess by Elizabeth Harbison
Silhouette Special Edition # 1727 - December 2005 Former editor in chief of a national magazine, Cal has landed himself in hot water with the boss. Being demoted to editor in chief of Home Life magazine, a publication that hasn't changed since the 50's, Cal knows that if he doesn't produce a winner, he'll be out of a job and his reputation will be ruined. The first call of business is create a whole new magazine and that means getting rid of the old staff pronto. Kit's a divorced mom of four year old, Johnny, and waiting for her mortgage approval on the house of her dreams. She's worked at Home Life for five years as a managing editor and a columnist. When Cal announces to the staff that they are all out of work, Kit stays behind to convince Cal that he can't make a new magazine work without her. Against Cal's better judgment, he agrees to take Kit on, he only hopes that their attraction to one another doesn't prove a fatal distraction to his career. As the new Real Life magazine takes shape, Kit continues to surprise Cal with her innovative ideas and with her enthusiasm. Cal knows Kit should be hands off, he's not the settling down kind of guy and Kit is definitely not the fling sort of woman. Ms. Harbison created a truly believable divorced working Mom in Kit. I really liked Kit. She's witty, smart and wracked with the worries of every single Mom. I also liked the fact that the ex-husband isn't a bad guy and that Kit and he are still very good friends. Cal wasn't as developed as Kit was. I really would have liked to get inside his head, esp. near the end of the story. The ending was kind of confusing, not the HEA part, but how it got there. I enjoyed the book, but would have liked a different last chapter. I read about this book in someone's blog and thought I'd give Ms. Harbison a try. She writes very witty dialogue and there were moments where I laughed out loud. Although I was disappointed with the ending in this book, I am looking forward to reading more from Ms. Harbison

Description from the book back cover:
The Goddess Rulebook: Rule #1: Figure out what you want -- and go after it! Columnist Kit Macy's dream house was almost hers. Then the entire staff of her old-fashioned household magazine was fired by the new, hip, handsome boss. No job meant no mortgage, and no backyard for her four-year-old son. She needed a plan ... and decided to reinvent herself. Rule #2: Change is good. Hotshot editor Cal Panagos intended to revamp the magazine -- from its staff to its stories. But the stubborn single mom's desire to succeed -- and her beautiful eyes -- soon got under his skin, while Kit's ideas breathed life into his publication. Working closely day after day, Cal began to forget the most important rule of all: Never mix business with pleasure ... |
