From the back cover:
Kat Cavanaugh was sixteen when she hitchhiked out of Persuasion, West Virginia, and vowed never to return. Who could blame her? She'd just stumbled upon her father's adulterous affair, found out she was pregnant, got dumped by her boyfriend, and kicked out of her house and school...all in a single afternoon. Twenty years have gone by and Kat's back - gorgeous, rich, and looking for an apology from everyone who'd turned their backs on her. First on that list is Riley Bohland, the boy who broke her heart before she coudl tell him about the baby.

But Kat didn't count on Riley having his own axe to grind, or that he'd be just as delicious as he was at sixteen. She also didn't count on her heart opening at the sight of him. When their anger ignites a passion intense enough to burn through two decades of secrets and lies, Kat must question everything she thought she knew about her past. And what about her future? The only place to find the answers may be in Riley's arm.

What a great story!! I have read pretty much everything by Susan Donovan and this one doesn't disappoint! I couldn't put it down. The story twists and turns and you (well at least I didn't) don't know where it is headed. She goes back and forth to the past, which at first I wasn't sure if I would like, but it helps put the story together and boy the ending!!! MAN I didn't see that coming!! AWESOME READ!!

Susan Donovan is a writer who's very good at combining humor and romance. So when I pick up one of her books, I know she'll have me grinning and lift my spirits. "Girl Most Likely To..." surprised me. Not because it's not humorous, but because Donovan managed to inject her humor into a story that's quite touching and all about love and forgiveness.

Kat had a miserable childhood. Her artist father cheated and beat her mother, her mother quietly put up with it, and when Kat was 16 her best friend and lover dumped her before she could tell him she was pregnant. So Kat left town that night with $83 and a heap of fear and bitterness. She lucked out and ended up with a wonderful woman who was everything her mother couldn't or wouldn't be to Kat. Now it's twenty years later and Kat has come back to her hometown for a bit of revenge. But she didn't count on how things can look a bit different when viewed as an adult vice a sixteen year old...nor did she count on still loving the father of her child.

I just reread my book synopsis and it doesn't sound funny. And I guess the situation isn't, but Susan Donovan finds the humor in the different relationships Kat has with friends and family. There's even a secondary romance with Kat's best friend, an Italian from Baltimore, and her old boyfriend's brother. There's also a psycho ex-fiancee stalker, a gossipy inn-keeper, and a wonderful hound dog. This novel has hot sex, laughter, tears, pain, and forgiveness. And best of all, you end it with a big smile on your face.
