The McBride Menaces are back! Fort Worth is still the scene and its a while later than the first book (THE BAD LUCK WEDDING DRESS). While Trace and Jenny are on an extended honeymoon, Tye is taking his chances with the Menaces hes renamed the McBride Blessings.

Tye is going to have a hard time referring to them as Blessings while they work to get him married off to Loretta Davis (who already has a beau). In the meantime, the newspaper prints a story about Tye being a member of the British aristocracy and Fort Worth women are after him.

With the Blessings on the job, just how long can it take for Tye to see reason (and love)? Claire Donovan has run away from a fiancé that she wasn't willing to marry; now shes moved to Fort Worth and opened a confectionery shop (downstairs from where the Blessings and Tye are living) that has magic cakes, muffins and cookies.
Although attracted to Tye, she has problems of her own and lacks the time to work on a relationship with Tye. The secondary characters that made the first book of this series funny are here again.
To me, this book seemed funnier than but not quite as interesting as the first book. Dont get me wrong, I can hardly wait to find another of her books. Maybe I shouldn't have read the two books so closely together; it set my expectations very high. Delightful!
