John Van Wart makes a painful mistake when he assumes sexy Theresa is the entertainment for that night's bachelor party. In town to plan her cousin’s wedding, Theresa has just dumped her cheating, no good, fiancé, and is in no mood for John's insults. When the whole Italian family shows up, things really spin out of control. Sparks of anger turn to lust as John falls under Theresa's spell.
Theresa, manager of her family's New Jersey Italian restaurants, is in town to organize her cousin Victoria's wedding, which for her, should be a piece of cake, but soon the situation proves more complicated. The Buonadies family arrives from Jersey, bringing abundant amounts of food, wine, good will, and barely contained chaos.
Theresa's ex-fiancé, Tony shows up in Pippins Grove looking for his laundered drug money, closely followed by the FBI agents who suspect Theresa is involved in Tony’s crimes.
Will her family purchase John's favorite watering hole, Paulding's Rest, a colonial tavern, and convert it into an Italian restaurant, complete with checkered table clothes and candles dripping down Chianti bottles?
Will the tavern give up it’s long buried secrets linked to the treasonous plot of Benedict Arnold?
Will Theresa's crooked ex-fiancé and overzealous Federal Agents ruin the wedding?
Melinda Peters authors a series of humorous romances about perfectly ordinary people who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in absolutely ridiculous situations. The second in this series of what are best described as "literary situation comedies,” Taming Theresa is not your mother's romance novel. Men and women alike enjoy them because, as we know, it's all about the sex, or all about the food, or both.
Included are several of the author's favorite recipes.
