It’s all just a little
unfair. . .
About The Book: David Morrissey’s life is near perfect. A widower
with a teenage daughter, he teaches at an ultra-conservative Southern
preparatory school, has been voted Teacher of the Year 3 times, and is engaged
to marry the daughter of the chairman of the school’s board.
Then life as David knows it comes to a screeching halt when
proof of his previous employment takes top headline in the school newspaper: 20
years ago, under another name, David Morrissey was the hottest ticket in town
for cover models on historical romances known as “bodice rippers”.
In short order he loses his job, his fiancée and his front
lawn now hosts herds of TV and print reporters, as well as camera persons ever
at the ready to pounce. As David prepares to fight for his job and his
reputation, the woman on the other side of those hot clinch covers, a woman he
once loved to distraction, comes back into his life. . . to help him in his
time of need—but also to reveal a bigger, more important secret.
Our Review: It’s always a treat to read anything by Toni V.
Sweeney whether it’s a futuristic sci-fi space adventure or a vampire saga
spanning generations and continents. This time it’s the staid traditions of Southern
academia and those appointed to maintain the status quo. Using her trademark
snappy humor, Sweeney’s well drawn characters keep the action at a non-stop
pace with laugh-out-loud crisp dialogue. Do not miss this one; it’s a beauty.
On a scale of 1-5, Mr.
Morrissey’s Secret deserves a 7.
