The Ladies Man is an interesting book about relationships. In this title one man comes back almost 30 years later to apologize to the woman he jilted at the alter. His return leads to some comical and touching situations.  As I read I thought this poor guy… he really can’t help himself. 

The three Dobbin Sisters live together. They still line up old milk and soda bottles at their front door for an alarm system. But don’t let the old habit fool you because when it comes to relationships these ladies are as modern as they come. Adele is the jilted bride of long ago. She works to raise money for the Public Broadcasting Station. Nash is the outlaw groom returning to make amends. He is a man with a weakness beyond his control. The reader will meet Adele’s sisters: Kathleen who owns a lingerie shop and Lois who works for the Commonwealth and there is her brother Richard who has yet to marry either. 

The author has written a mature novel about love, sex, romance and learning the difference.
