Make a deal with the devil and you might get what you want, but will it be what you need?
Jennifer Sylvester wants one thing, and that one thing is NOT to be Tennessee's reigning Banana Cake Queen. Ever the perpetual good girl and obedient daughter, Jennifer is buckling under the weight of her social media celebrity, her mother's ambitions, and her father's puritanical mandates. Jennifer is officially desperate.
And desperate times call for Cletus Winston.
Cletus Winston is a puzzle wrapped in a mystery covered in conundrum sauce, and now he's in a pickle. Despite being convinced of his own omniscience, extortion by the exalted Banana Cake Queen of Green Valley has taken him completely by surprise. So... what's a maniacal mastermind to do?
I love that Cletus finally met his match! He thought he had everyone figured out -- just give him 10 minutes, but when he finally took the time to get to know Jennifer, he was surprised time after time by the things he learned about her.
I really liked Jennifer's part of the story. She was sort of a prisoner of her parents' expectations, and they kept her in a sort of bubble. I liked the way she slowly gained some autonomy. It was great seeing her assert herself, and it was great that Cletus was there for her if and when she needed him. And, it was also seeing Cletus evolve as well.
Another fine addition to the Winston Brothers series.
