The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers

                   The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers

At just over 100 pages, The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers is a lovely romantic “snovel” (shorter than a novel).  Carrie West is a 30-ish librarian in the city. Carrie finds reading the online personals interesting and sometimes funny. Never would she respond - she is just in it for the pure fun of perusing them. That is until she comes across one that grabs her attention…the man in the photo is so attractive with sensitive eyes but it is what he is offering that makes her want to answer his ad. “I will meet you on Wednesdays at noon in Celebration Park. Kissing only.”

Completely out of the norm, Carrie replies to his ad and with nervously anxious anticipation she sets out for their Wednesday rendezvous.  Brian is all his picture made him out to be and more. He truly wants just what his ad said, kissing only. And that first kiss…..WOW! Carrie is eagerly watching her calendar for the next Wednesday to arrive.

Carrie finds herself wanting to know more about Brian but he is a closed book. She can sense there is more to this guy than his seductive kisses but she cannot get him to open up to her more or agree to anything more than kissing for an hour on a park bench once a week. Or does she?

I don’t want to give it all away but needless to say, there is a lot more to this story than kissing on the park bench.  The 100 pages go by quickly but are very fulfilling. Makes a great Saturday afternoon read.
