Screwdriver is the third literary fiction book in the Cocktail series by author Alice Clayton.
Vivian Franklin is a tough software engineer who designs programs and loves hospital corners. By night, Vivian is a secret romance junkie who longs for a knight in shining armor, or a cowboy on the back of a wild horse, or a firefighter in a harness. safe to save her from her feet. And she gets to wear bras – don’t forget bras.
The phone call that she had inherited a beautiful old house in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she had moved her life across the country to engage in what She considers it a wonderful adventure, romantic and worth reading like a novel. But romance novels always have a twist, right?
There was a cowboy, one who burned her belt. Because Cowboy Hank is totally worth the ignition. But there’s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he called her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow pads compete with jackets and studs? You bet your sweet cow pie.
In Screwdriver, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and heated battle that leaves Vivi/Vivian ecstatic. Also in this audiobook, the answer to the age-old question: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian?
I love Alice Clayton’s style; Sharp dialogue and humorous aspects & this book has all of these as usual. Viv is a likable character and we get to see how perfect Clark was for her long before she did. Hank the hunk distracts her but we all know who she’ll end up with (and cheer when she does!). Nice to see Simon & Caroline also show up.
