From award-winning author Millie Criswell comes a palate-pleasing contemporary rom-com about two people with nothing in common--except their undeniable attraction.
"Hilarious . . . Romantic comedy has a new star and her name is Millie Criswell."--Janet EvanovichTHE TROUBLE WITH MARY IS . . . She’s unemployed. Her huge Italian family is driving her crazy. Her love life is nonexistent. In fact, she needs a life! So Mary Russo decides to open a restaurant in Baltimore’s Little Italy. And despite her mother’s assurances that she will fail, the place is a big success--until the local paper delivers a scathing review of her pizza, pasta, and chocolate cannolis. Food critic Dan Gallagher hates Italian food--and his column shows it. Now Mary would like nothing more than to serve Dan on a steaming platter. Problem is, Mary is the most delectable woman Dan has ever met. And Dan is the most exasperating man Mary has ever encountered. The trouble with chemistry is, neither one can resist it.
