A Few Pecans Short of a Pie by Molly Harper

A Few Pecans Short of a Pie (Southern Eclectic, #4)

by Molly Harper

Sexy school principal Kyle faces the biggest challenge of his career: getting his (pregnant) event planner girlfriend Margot down the aisle before the baby arrives!

Readers first fell in love with big city event planner Margot in the first Southern Eclectic novel, Sweet Tea and Sympathy, as she discovered a long-lost branch of her family—the McCreadys, of McCready's Bait Shop & Funeral Home. To Margot’s surprise, she's taken a liking to life in small-town Georgia...helped along by a romance with the hot elementary school principal.

The two of them have been taking it slow—or they were until Margot gets pregnant! Kyle wants to make an honest woman of her, but Margot's still trying to proceed with caution. After all, she was the best event planner in Chicago before she ever came to Lake Sackett—her wedding has to be perfect, and perfect includes not having the baby halfway down the aisle.

I continue to really enjoy this series from Molly Harper (what have I not enjoyed of hers?!?).

It was fun coming back to the original couple, further down the road in their relationship. I think it was also particularly fun for me to read about a pregnant heroine while also being pregnant. She's having a harder go of it than I am though lol ;)

I like seeing the developing relationship between Margot and Kyle's girls and the complications of stepping into a step-mom position when their mother has passed away. And, of course, the humor was totally on point.

I would have loved to see this continue on as a full-length, passed the wedding to the birth of the baby, but I'm sure we'll get that from some character's point of view eventually, so I'm okay waiting.

And of course, love Amanda Ronconi's narration. That's always perfect for me !
