I just had the pleasure of reading Claire Boston's latest novel, "Under the Covers". Elle moves to Texas with her five year old son, Toby to escape an abusive relationship. Vowing to never let a man control her life again she opens up a Cafe/Book store in Houston, Texas. What she finds is more than she expected. Relative strangers help Elle from a disastrous opening and one in particular stirs her interest even though she has sworn off men. Now Ms. Boston is from Australia so I am not sure if it was intentional or not, but the man who peaks Elle's attention is named George Jones. Yes, just like the famous country star. This book has heart and there were enough twists and turn to have me finish it in one day. The only thing that would have made it better in my humble opinion would have been some steaming love scenes. Spoiler Alert, the first time George and Elle are romantic I wasn't even sure anything happened between them beyond a kiss till it was referenced later in the book. Great beach read!
