Book Description
What else could go wrong for 29-year-old ESL teacher and single mom Isa Avellan after she's been voted the un-sexiest woman alive by the entire student body?
Well . . .
She could be knocked unconscious by a well-kicked soccer ball and wind up saddled with a guardian angel who looks and sounds a lot like Joan Collins.
She could have to endure the on-air ravings of her flojo ex-husband as he reveals every intimate, humiliating detail of their sex life to an infamous shock-jock . . . on national radio!
Or she could take matters into her own hands and submit to a total makeover, from lipstick to toenail polish to lacy lingerie. And with the help of some well-meaning (if slightly loca) tías, she could become L.A.'s most ravishing reborn sex goddess, say adios to the past, and see about capturing the attention of a hot new man. But the new Isa is about to find out that it's not so easy juggling motherhood, career, and sex-symbol status. It could, however, turn out to be a whole lot of fun.
About the Author
California native Mary Castillo attenteded the University of Southern California where she majored in History. During that time she went on medical missions to Mexico (where she helped deliver a baby), and interned at LA County Hospital. But when it was time to choose a career, Mary went back to her original love of story telling and began writing screenplays and novels. She has worked in public relations, advertising and as a reporter for the L.A. Times Community News. This is her first novel.

Another fabulous book by the great Mary Castillo!, Mar 18 2006
By Kathy Cano-Murillo "The Crafty Chica" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Between Men (Paperback)
I was SO excited for this book to finally come out, especially after enjoying Hot Tamara so much. Mary has such a magic touch when it comes to comedy and drama. Isa is so dang lovable, you have to check out this book! Congrats Mary, on a job well done. now - when is the next one coming?

Not bad..., May 7 2007
By Revekka L. Balancier "Latina Literature Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Between Men (Paperback)
The book is a quick read. The writing is fun and the story is interesting enough even though the characters are pretty flat and predictable. The author touches on some good subject matter and issues many Latinas can relate to which I really liked, but she also uses too many cliches and I wanted a better exploration of the characters.
