"Christie Craig will crack you up!" -- New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks

Of the Divorced, Desperate and Delicious club, Kathy Callahan is the last surviving member. Oh, her two friends haven't died or anything. They just gave up their vows of chastity. They went for hot sex with hot cops and got happy second marriages -- something Kathy can never consider, given her past. Yet there's always her plumber, Stan Bradley. He seems honest, hardworking, and skilled with a tool.

But Kathy's best-laid plans have hit a clog. The guy snaking her drain isn't what he seems. He's handier with a pistol than a pipe wrench, and she's about to see more action than Jason Statham. The next forty-eight hours promise hot pursuit, hotter passion and a super perky pug, and at the end of this wild escapade, Kathy and her very own undercover lawman will be flush with happiness -- assuming they both survive.

Kathy Callahan is the last member of the Divorced, Desperate and Delicious Club to remain single, thanks to distrust of men and her devotion to her son, Tommy. Sparks are flying between Kathy and plumber Stan Bradley, but Stan is actually Luke Hunter, an undercover FBI agent hiding out until he can testify against organized crim
RT Book Reviews

    Good read

    I have read many books by Christie Craig and this is one of my favourites. Divorced, desperate and deceived is just delicious. I hope there will be many more

    an amusing contemporary romance

    Divorcee Kathy Callahan has interest in one man though her friends are unaware whom she desperately wants to make it with. Plumber Stan Bradley seems interested in her, but abruptly stopped showing his attraction as if she was a fungus. With her son spending a month with his dad, Kathy decides to go for her hunk.

    Stan has not lost interest, but instead fears he will hurt Kathy. He believes a lasting relationship cannot occur for someone the FBI placed in witness protection program changing his name from Luke Hunter. However, as Kathy starts her seduction, those wanting Luke dead have tracked him down. Instead of being on the lam alone, he is on the run with the woman he loves even if this is his worst nightmare.

    The third Divorced, Desperate and D tale (see . and Dating; and . and Delicious) is an amusing contemporary romance starring a strong cast; especially deep besides the DDD heroine are the guys and Goodwill (just keep your toes safe). Fans will enjoy this fine amusing frolic as the determined delightful divorcee decides on the plumber with secrets.

    Divorced, Dating and Decieved

    This is the 3rd in a series. Read the others first if you can! I found this a funny entertaining light read. Liked it enough to go back and buy the 2 previous stories. I really like how all her characters are imperfect and don't spill their guts at the first opportunity. The've worked themselves to a functioning life and think they are happy enough. I will definitely be watching this author.

    Great Mix of Comedy, Romance and Mystery

    I've loved all of Craig's Divorced and Desperate books but I think this one is my favorite. Not only do we finally get Kathy and her plumber's story, we get to catch up with the characters from the first two books, and meet Joey, a hitman with a conscience. Loved it!

    AWESOME!

    This is the third of the series that I have read and enjoyed each and every one. I loved Kathy and Stan (Luke) and Oh Yeah Goodwill, I have a soft spot for Joey. as well as the rest of the characters.
    I enjoyed the way it all played out the way the author brought the character from the first two books into this one throwing in a little danger, suspense and a lot of humor.
    I look forwarded to her next book

    Fantastic

    ## What an amazing series this was. All three of the stories were outstanding (although #1 still remains my favorite). The characters in this third story were so fun and interesting. How can anyone not like Joey? And the hero, Luke, yowza! Sorry to say, there wasn't as much sex in this one which was unfortunate, given how well Ms. Craig writes her sex scenes. However, there's great adventure, humor and romance. A must read!

    Divorced Desperate and Deceived

    This book has some higipoints, but way too much description of their sexual encounters. That didn't lend to the storyline, it took away.

    Great Ending to a Great Series

    This is the last book in the Divorced, Desperate series. I really liked it. Take a single mom with a great business and mix in a maybe plumber that she is crushing on and you get a very crazy adventure! If you have read the first two books then you have to finish it off with the last book.

    One Star for small font

    The print is too small for me to read. Very upset that I paid for something I can't read. I enjoy all Christie Craig's books even though she uses the word, 'Okay' wayyyy to often!
