Ethan Bishop and Bailey Sheppard are best friends since grade school, but things have changed and Bailey realizes that she has fallen in love with Ethan. Problem is Ethan's still pining away over his ex-girlfriend of ten years, Emily, who jilted him for a corporate executive she knew for less than a month; her wanderlust taking her to Miami to be with her new beau, Greg Harrison, and away from the small town of Brookhollow, N.J. Ethan has always considered Bailey one of the guys, and she's no ordinary girl. She rides a motorcycle, owns a body shop garage and drives a tow truck. But although tough, she's also very beautiful. Ethan hadn't bothered to notice just how beautiful she really was until one particular day when he dropped by her house, catching Bailey off guard during a highly sentimental moment. What takes place next leaves him thoroughly confused. Is he still in love with Emily? He can't seem to stop thinking about his ex, but why does he suddenly feel so strongly about Bailey? Does he want to take their relationship to the next level and risk the comfortable friendship that they've always had? When he's ready to do just that Emily reappears, and the news she has could change his life forever.

What A Girl Wants was an enjoyable page-turner. I was hooked from the start of the book, and each time I had to put it down I was eager to return to it. There were so many great scenes; some very humorous and others deeply tender and emotional. There was a plot twist that kept the story interesting and had me glued to the pages until I finished the book. There were no lags in the storyline, and I must admit that What A Girl Wants is another one of my favorite Heartwarming books. If you like a great romance set in a small town with a hunky firefighter who falls for the girl next door, and lots more, then you'll love What A Girl Wants. An excellent read. ( )
