I bought this book last year and found it while I was rotating my bookshelf again and the synopsis grabbed me.
Carlisle Cushing of the Wainwrights of Willow Creek Texas has come home from her new life in Boston as a premiere divorce attorney to help her mother find a lawyer for her latest divorce. When she gets there, she finds that the debutante ball her family throws to benefit the Willow Creek Symphony is in shambles. Her mother is adamant that Carlisle handle her divorce, and gives her a letter from her grandmother who's recently passed asking Carlisle to help get the debutante ball back on track for the sake of the symphony. To everyone else, this seems preposterous given her disastrous turn as a debutante. But ultimately she agrees to do both while she tries to figure out how to introduce her fiancee to her family, given her less than truthful tale about her background. Add to the mix that the very man she ran all the way to Boston to leave behind has shown up as opposing counsel and she is anything but shocked to realize her feelings for him are still there.
The narration of the Ex Debutante really grabbed me. It was as if a Texas debutante was speaking directly to the reader, and it was easy to delve into because of that. The story line was cute if somewhat predictable and made for a fast fun read. Interestingly enough, I read an excerpt from the paperback release, and just in the first chapter I found several subtle changes in the paperback edition. Anyone know if this happens a lot? I thought the only change was the binding.![]()

I read and enjoyed this book as well. That was really interested, what you said about the changes between the hardcover and paperback - I, too, was under the impression that the text stayed the same between both versions!
