Screwdrivered by Alice Clayton is the third book in her Cocktail series. Where in Rusty Nailed we got to see Simon and Caroline's relationship from the other side of a happily ever after ending where we left them in Wallbanger, in Screwdrivered they play a small peripheral role. This story is about Viv, Simon's high school friend that is a computer software genius and an artist to boot. 
 Viv receives a late night phone call from the East coast telling her she's inherited a beautiful cliff-side home in Mendocino, California. so she goes there and falls instantly in love with the "cowboy" that is taking care of the few animals there. What she didn't bargain for is the argumentative, elbow pad, tweed jacket-wearing librarian telling her what she can and cannot restore or replace in the home. Turns out Clark is also the head of the historical society and is responsible for maintaining historical authenticity on homes that are listed on the historical register. 
 Well that just puts all kinds of wrenches in the works for Viv. She calls in Caroline and Simon for support and ends up spending a ton of time "arguing" with Clark over the repairs on the home. 
 A cute and quirky story. Viv has a tendency to totally let her mind wander into a daydream of a romance novel only to be rudely brought back into reality time and time again - usually blushing at her own inappropriate thoughts. 
 Kirstin's Review: 
 Screwdrivered by Alice Clayton 4 out of 5 stars 
 Vivian is looking for an adventure and her own leading man. She wants to be swept off of her feet, romanced like all of the deserving heroins in her favorite romance novels. (Hmmm, wouldn't we all!) 
 So when she suddenly inherits a house on the other side of the country, it looks like she might be getting a chance to star in her own romance novel after all! Enter Hank, the hot, sexy cowboy. 
 But, can a hot sexy cowboy really compete with a smart, attractive librarian? 
 I love Alice Clayton's quirky characters and witty dialogue. They are the kind of people that you want to be friends with; fun, funny, and interesting. There may not be many surprises in the story line, you know who will eventually end up with who, but the ride along the way is where the real entertainment lies. Enjoy! 
 (Although I would definitely start with Wallbanger, book one, and Rusty Nailed, book two in the series.)
