Smart Girls Think Twice/Cathie Linz/290 pages

Smart Girls Think Twice is the fourth installment in Cathie Linz's series "Girls Do or Don't" about a small town in Pennsylvania with quirky characters.  It's been a few years since I read the first three in the series, but Linz didn't disappoint.  This was a quick, light romance with plenty of humor.  Cathie Linz is a librarian and she always hits it on the head when portraying our profession.  Nothing stereotypical with her.

Emma Riley, the youngest of three sisters, has come home to Rock Creek, PA for her sisters weddings.  While there she decides to do a little research work for her publish or perish job at a university.  Since she is a sociologist, she decides to interview the residents of Rock Creek and determine the cause of the resurgence of the small town.  She meets newcomer Jake Slayter who has come to Rock Creek for reasons of his own that he is not willing to share.  Because of trust issues, there is the standard miscommunication that happens in romances, but Linz doesn't let it get too far out of hand before bringing the characters back together.  All in all, a very quick, fun read.
