Overview

Go skinny dipping with Connie Brockway IN her latest NOVEL

Mimi Olsen is crushed to learn that her family's Minnesota retreat is up for sale. Unless someone can get the cash to save it, the house that's served as a peaceful anchor for generations will go under the hammer. A free spirit like Mimi has the will, what she needs is a way. Moving back into Chez Ducky is a start. But when she meets the man next door, her life is going to change direction in ways she never imagined.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Set once again in Minnesota and chock-full of eccentric characters, Brockway's latest (following Hot Dish) centers around the fate of Chez Ducky, the Olson family's century-old summer retreat on the shores of Fowl Lake. With Chez Ducky in desperate need of repair, property taxes rising and palatial homes defiling the once pristine shoreline-like the one next door built by millionaire whiz kid Prescott Tierney-the family decides to sell. Mimi Olson thinks selling is a bad idea, but 40 years of skirting responsibility, organization and commitment of all kinds keeps her from getting it together, despite fond memories of the family's annual skinny dipping. During her farewell visit to Chez Ducky, Prescott and his dad, Joe, have a run-in with a Minnesota snowbank, and suddenly Mimi's in charge of two injured men, three dogs and her pregnant half-sister, who shows up unannounced. While the book moves along at an entertaining pace and the narrative is lively, readers might have a tough time empathizing with the apathetic heroine, even as she discovers her purpose in life. (Jan.)

Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Library Journal

Noted primarily for her award-winning historicals, Brockway (Hot Dish) continues her successful foray into the contemporary market with this funny and quirky yet poignantly touching story that takes an obligation-averse, second-sighted heroine with an unstructured, chaotic life, pairs her with an analytical, orderly hero with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and adds a cast of delightfully offbeat characters. From the cute meet (the heroine is naked, dripping with weeds, muck, and twigs after skinny-dipping; our hero is impeccably dressed) to the satisfying conclusion, this heartwarming tale sparkles with humor and love as an extended family finally discovers the real importance of their shared lakeside vacation home. An exquisitely rendered setting, an abundance of complex family dynamics, a story that explores what it means to belong, and a beautifully developed romantic relationship guarantee the appeal of this well-crafted tale for both romance and women's fiction fans alike. Brockway, who lives in Edina, MN, has penned another winner.

    an amusing whimsical yet affecting character driven contemporary romance

    The Olsen family has spent many retreats at the summer home Chez Ducky at Fowl Lake, Minnesota. However with the recent death of the family matriarch, most of the Olsen brood feels the place is not the same and wants to sell it some are ambiguous about selling a home that has been part of their tradition, but only slacker Mimi wants to keep the place.------------ While her relatives debate what to do, Mimi decides to spend a Northern Minnesota Fall and winter there her first non summer trek to Chez Ducky. She hopes to find a miracle to keep her relatives from selling, but instead finds a wild zany bunch next door that needs some mothering especially injured MIT Professor Prescott Tierney except she is miss irresponsibility. However, as she tends to a canine crowd (Blondie, Wiley and Bill) and Prescott, his extremely responsible dad, Joe has also come to finally connect with his adult son. Joe and Mimi meet when she goes SKINNY DIPPING and loses her clothing even mud cannot hide what he sees.----------------- SKINNY DIPPING is an amusing whimsical yet affecting character driven contemporary romance that will have Connie Brockway's fans laughing and crying. The opposites attract story line is enhanced by the dysfunctional relationship between the adult male Tierney¿s, the arrival of Mimi¿s pregnant half-sister, and the dogs especially Kill Bill who bites the hands that feed him. This is an entertaining tale of connecting or at least trying to connect as love can be found in the zaniest of locations.---------------- Harriet Klausner
