Marianne (Australia) (2011/07/03): Here Comes Trouble is Debbie Macomber’s 52nd novel. Streetwise Seattle newspaper columnist Kramer Adams writes an unflattering article “My evening with the debutante….” about Maryanne Simpson of the New York Simpsons, currently working at a rival Seattle paper owned by her father. While she is angry about his interfering opinions, she decides he is right about one thing: her life has been too easy. She wants to earn Kramer’s respect, so she quits her cushy job, her luxury apartment and her trust fund, determined to earn her own living. Kramer tries to talk her out of it, feeling she’s a babe in the woods, and he’s responsible for her safety. Sparks fly between them, but something else happens between them as well: he can’t resist kissing her. But no way is he the right man for her: he’s not an appropriate match for the daughter of magnate Samuel Simpson. Maryanne has other ideas. An enjoyable romantic tale with two feisty characters, lots of snappy dialogue and the power to bring a tear to the eye.
