The author of New Uses for Old Boyfriends returns to the Delaware seashore town of Black Dog Bay, where one woman learns to put passion before practicality...Brighton Smith doesn't do outrageous. As an insurance actuary, it's her job to assess risk and avoid bad investments. But when her fiancé calls to confess he's married someone else on a whim ("I looked at her and I just knew!"), she snaps...That night, at a local bar, Jake Sorenson—hot, rich, and way out of her league—buys Brighton a cocktail. At midnight, she kisses him. And by dawn, they're exchanging vows at a drive-through chapel. Brighton knows Jake is a bad bet, but she doesn't care. After a lifetime of playing it safe, she's finally having fun. Until the whirlwind romance gives way to painful reality...and Brighton finds out the truth about why a guy like Jake married a girl like her. With her heart on the line and the odds stacked against them, Brighton must decide whether to cut her losses or take a leap of faith that this love affair is one in a million.

She's grieving her very recent broken engagement, made worse by her ex-fiancé spontaneously marrying someone else, Brighton tells her troubles to the Black Dog Bay wine bar's most captivating, gorgeous seducer of the brokenhearted, "rebound guy" Jake Sorenson. Before long, Brighton and the absurdly wealthy Jake have traveled to Las Vegas in his private jet and married at a drive-in chapel. Brighton wants to play the revenge rebound game, but Jake's intentions are a mystery. When they sober up, Brighton and Jake talk divorce, but their attraction to each other is intoxicating, prompting the emotionally unavailable, low-key Jake to finally confront his past.

      Amy Rubinate does not disappoint in narrating this funny romantic comedy. Brighton Smith's bar-exam-failing, jerky ex-fiancé ends up married to a virtual stranger within 24 hours of their breakup. So Brighton, in a haze of alcohol, responds in kind, flying off to Vegas to marry hot, rich, mysterious Jake Sorenson, whom she just met in a bar in Black Dog Bay, a mecca to the newly dumped. Is the only irrational thing Brighton has ever done also the very best? Rubinate deftly infuses "quirky" into the hilarious and likable occupants of this town. Characters are adroitly performed, and each one's persona is spot-on. A laugh-out-loud fun fest. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
