| Her Handyman by Morgan Mandel |
Stepping Out of the Comfort Zone
At the start of my romantic comedy, Her Handyman, the hero,
Jake, is engaged to Angelina, whom he’s known for ages. His fiance is perfect
in every way. She’s curvy, organized, hardworking and a wonderful cook to boot!
What more could a guy want?
Then, by happenstance, he’s called out in the dead of
night to fix an emergency toilet leak. That’s when he meets the quirky Zoe, who’s
way different than Angelina. Zoe’s a rich, thin artist. She’s impulsive and
unconcerned about minor details, such as keeping everything in its place and
free from dust. Her on-the-fly meals often consist of raw fruits and
vegetables, with occasional carryouts for variety. She appears perfectly
content to hide away in her penthouse, in the sole company of her Chinese
Crested canine, FuFu.
Jake’s future is arranged. There’s no reason for him to
think twice about Zoe. Still, there’s something about her courage in the face
of what he senses are hidden fears that draws him to her. Though she’s wealthy,
in his mind she’s a waif, or poor little rich girl.
Jake can’t change his nature,
which is to respond to people in need. Though Zoe claims to be happy with her
lot in life, he knows deep down she’s needy.
On the other hand, Angelina
has it all together, and would make a perfect wife. But, is perfect what’s best
for him?
What should he do? Go ahead
with a sure thing, or step out of the comfort zone? What would you do, take a
chance or go with a sure thing?

I've read Her Handyman, and I have to say, without giving anything away, that I think Jake made the right choice. That's what life's about anyways, choices. Good or bad, we have to cope with our decisions and move on.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best my friend!
Thanks for reading Her Handyman, and I'm glad you liked the way it ended, Maggie!
DeleteMorgan, I think I would stay with my comfort zone, just because of so much uncertainty growing up. I am amazed that I even go gambling sometimes.LOL I'm looking forward to reading HER HANDYMAN. It really looks good.

Cheryl,
DeleteI'm a comfort zone kind of person, but I do get a little carried away when I play slots. That's why I only do it on vacation!

I haven't read HER HANDYMAN yet, but "perfect" tends to be outside my comfort zone. Not that I like crazy or tempestuous, but I actually like change and variety.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a perfect person and have a hard time keeping my house clean and the dresser drawers tend to look insane.
DeleteI like variety in small doses, and don't like things thrown at me all at once.

It's on my Kindle--in the queue.
ReplyDeleteMe...I usually stay in my comfort zone. My motto is "stay with the known, since we don't know about the unknown." I can say I don't always...but for a happier "me"--I need that comfort zone.
Yes, the comfort zone is nice. I don't stray too far from it, but I'm a little more daring than my DH, who wants to do things at certain times. For example, we always go to the 7 am Mass on Sunday, no matter what, instead of one of the others. Once in a while, I'd like to go later, but he likes to stay on schedule, so I accept that.

I hope to read this one within the next few weeks. I really want to know how you were able to keep Jake a likeable character when he's already engaged and suddenly finds himself attracted to another woman.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, it's comfort zone all the way. :)
I have started reading this book and it's getting interesting...will finish this weekend.It's my 1st book by Morgan Mandel
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that Medy Lazo! It's always exciting when someone new reads one of my books. Hope you like it!
