A Little Love Story - Paperback

Selected as one of the "10 Wonderful Romance Novels" by Good Housekeeping magazine, A Little Love Story is a sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious tale of attraction and loyalty, jealousy and grief. It's a classic love story--with some modern twists. Janet Rossi is a very smart aide to the governor of Massachusetts, but she suffers from an illness that makes her, as she puts it, "not exactly a good long-term investment." Jake Entwhistle is a few years older, a carpenter and portrait painter, also smart--but with a shadow over his romantic history. After meeting when Janet accidentally backs into Jake's antique truck, they begin a love affair marked by courage, humor, a deep and erotic intimacy . . . and modern complications. "Thoughtful, restrained (yet very sexy). . . . Roland Merullo captures what it feels like when you meet 'the one'-and what you're willing to do to hold onto that person," wrote The New York Times.
