Between the Sheets by Robin Wells
3.0

First warning, this book quickly dates itself. Before its republished it I think these things should be fixed. Our lead drives a new silver Saturn (not made any more), Oprah still has a show, and other small things just throw the story off. Emma Jamison is a butler. It is her job to get a big New Orleans house ready for a visit from the President Elect. When something goes wrong, she is escorted out of the house in a barely buttoned dresses for safety precautions. Pictures in the press leave the world thinking that she killed the president with her wiles. No matter how much she denies the rumors, no one believes her and it causes havoc with her life. She loses her clients and has to close her business. She moves into her grandmothers old home and takes a job as head of housekeeping in the local retirement community. She meets Max Duval who is running for district attorney, and while the two have chemistry, it would be a determent to his campaign for the two to be friends, let alone have a relationship. What really saves this book is grandma. She is still open to love and the fact that Max’s grandfather has Alzheimer’s and does not sway her from a life of fun and romance, and comic relief in this story.
