Review
"... I guarantee you will find yourself chuckling and shaking your head, but what a pleasant ride WINNER TAKES ALL is. Diane Amos has penned a winning recipe of love and comedy between two genial characters who fall in love amid the chaos of a contest and makeshift childrearing. Don?t miss this highly amusing tale."
--Romance Reviews Today, July 2005 (Romance Reviews Today )
"Readers will win with this amusing romantic road show as Diane Amos shows her talent by providing a fine love story with children, pets and unscrupulous Floyd dampening the heat between the lead couple. Karen Ann is a solid lead protagonist needing to be loved as her parents are aloof towards her; Thomas, showered with sibling love, needs space after raising his brothers and sisters following the deaths of their parents in a car accident. The kids, dog, and cat provide comic chaos while Floyd is someone readers will not want to buy a used car from. WINNER TAKES ALL is a fun contemporary."
--Harriet Klausner, June 2005 (harrietklausner.wwwi.com )
Long Description:
Recipe for chaos: Start with a raffle for one brand-new Winnebago, a dishonest Winnebago dealer who doesn't intend to part with the prize, a virus-infected computer that spits out two winning tickets. Add Thomas O'Leary and Karen Ann Brown, opposites who instantly dislike each other. Pack them into a motor home for thirty days with three misbehaved boys, a Siamese cat, and a black lab. Let them fight it out in a highly publicized tour, "Survivor" style.
Both Thomas and Karen will do anything to win the grand prize. But the more days—and nights—they spend in each other's company, not to mention the three boys, one dog, one cat, a possible stalker, and hordes of reporters following their every move, the more they realize that there is a much bigger prize at stake—each other.
