Things Are Heating Up

Tamara Contreras will never again settle for unmemorable sex. Her long-time boyfriend may look perfect to her traditional Mexican American parents – something Tamara never has been – but at twenty-six she wants more from life than marriage and motherhood. So in front of everyone, Tamara does the unthinkable: She turns down her boyfriend’s unexpected marriage proposal and leaves home for L.A.

Tamara thinks she’s got the single girl-in-the-city thing down, until she runs into Will Benavides, the former high school bad boy turned firefighter.

Readers Weigh In

“In 2005, Mary Castillo warmed our hearts with her debut novel Hot Tamara. This year, she does it again, in true, fast-paced and fun Mary Castillo style with In Between Men (Harper Collins, 2006). According to book club member, Juanita Johnson, the romantic chick lit novel brings readers a truly loveable, but confused, protagonist, Isa, who appropriately finds love after a bump to the head. The believable and fun dialogue between the characters, clearly one of Mary’s best strengths as an author, makes this romantic tale of girl meets boy an enchanting read.”

» In Between Men “is a feel good all over story. It not only touches your funny bone, the characters capture your heart immediately and stay with you long after the last page. This is the first book of Ms. Castillo’s I have read but it won’t be the last.”
