Out of the Blue Mandel, Sally

**Out of the Blue** by Sally Mandel is the kind of romance that sneaks up on you when you least expect it—much like love itself. When successful Manhattan attorney Sarah's carefully constructed life implodes spectacularly, she flees to a quirky Vermont town where nothing goes according to plan. Enter Jake, a local carpenter who's definitely not her usual type, but somehow manages to rebuild more than just her broken porch.

This delightful contemporary romance explores themes of second chances, finding yourself after loss, and discovering that sometimes the best things happen when you stop trying to control everything. Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven stories with heart, humor, and enough steam to fog up your reading glasses.

Sally Mandel crafts believable characters you'll actually want to hang out with, making this general fiction gem appeal to both romance devotees and anyone who appreciates a good love story without the cheese.
