Her town is going broke. He plans to build a new hotel that will bring in lots of tourist dollars. It should be a perfect match.

Geneva is relieved to be back in her tiny Florida hometown after her budding political career in the state capital and her romance with a big-city guy come to an end. She’s content to hold a seat on the local council until the mayor flees in the middle of the night, and the job of fending off bankruptcy falls in her lap.

Pittsburgh-born Seth arrives in Calusa with architectural plans in his polished briefcase. His family firm already owns a prime piece of land, and he can hang with his college buddy while the building is erected. But what should be a slam dunk faces opposition from the quirky residents.

Geneva is willing to partner with Seth to find a solution. What she won’t do is risk her heart.

The Lady Is a Mayor is the first book in the Calusa Town Tales series. If you love clean romances filled with southern charm, you’ll love The Lady Is a Mayor.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN EASY READ FOR YOUR BUSY SHEDULE
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2018

When Geneva Porter finds herself interim Mayor in the wee hours of the morning, lack of sleep becomes part of pattern.
One reason for loss of sleep is her attraction to property developer, Seth Connor. Aside from being drool-worthy, he is also wreaking havoc in her small Florida community of Calusa. Can his plan bring her beloved hometown back from the edge of bankruptcy. The promise divides the town between business owners who see the advantages and the garden club ladies wanting to protect an orchid species on the brink of extinction.

Fran Thomas brings the Yankee Hero and the Southern Heroine together early in the story and keeps them working together for common ground both in their business and personal relationship. This novella was a quick, enjoyable read. I look forward to Book 2 in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful story
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

Short and sweet, The Lady is a Mayor, is a small-town tale filled with quirky characters and small-town woes.

City council member Geneva Price never expects the mayor to slip out of town in the middle of the night and leave her next in line for the mayor's seat. Her problems mount when a handsome business man comes to town to broker a deal for the development of a hotel on a prime piece of property. Half the town is against the proposed project, and things start to get ugly.

Furthering her dilemma is the fact that she finds herself overwhelmingly attracted to the project manager. I won't say how it all works out. You'll have to read that yourself. It's definitely worth the read.

Seth and Geneva will have your hearts soaring in this wonderful story. When the town mayor skips town late in the night, the sheriff makes the call to Geneva. As acting mayor she finds out that not only is the mayor gone but all the money as well. Seth who is a friend of one of the towns citizens would like the opportunity to build a hotel in their town. His news brings a lot of drama good and bad not to mention the sparks that fly whenever he and Geneva are any place together. This story is packed with small town rivalry and there is never a dull moment in this story.
