Madison "Maddie" Sommers has ended her four year relationship with Jeff Oglethorpe, on a local Valentine's Day tv talk show. Much to her older brothers' chagrin, she's determined to have some fun and meet a lot of men. One person stands in her way...Chase Holloway, best friend and business partner to her brothers, isn't about to let her 'run wild'.

All three men still see Maddie as the little girl who needs protecting, and she'll do just about anything to break that image. The trouble is, her childhood crush on Chase keeps getting in the way, and to her surprise, has become something more.Can she get Chase to see her as the adult she is?

Marry Me, Maddie is a light, humorous romance which will make your day. Maddie can easily create problems by letting her brothers and Chase believe she's doing things, she isn't... like going to a local nudist colony. At the same time, she has to convince them she's serious about her interior design business. It's going to take a lot of convincing to get through their macho attitudes.

Secondary characters are well written and the plot will keep you involved. There's also a mystery from the past to solve, the clues of which don't look good to the Sommers siblings, although each one thinks they alone have become aware of the hints. When the information is all put together, watch out. The romance between Chase and Maddie is quick to heat up, while Chase... well, you'll have to find out for yourself, how he feels about the situation.

If you're in the mood for a chuckle or two, let Maddie keep you company.
