Bad Hair Day by Nancy Darryl

Hannah Hailstone’s split ends are a divining rod for disaster

Hannah just found a sexy man in the back seat of her car—semi-conscious and bleeding, but at least he has a pulse. Her father, a James Bond wannabe with a penchant for gambling, has disappeared. And there’s a man in a pink Cadillac tailing her hippy artist mother. Hannah’s plans to re-read her Nancy Drew Mysteries—the vintage, hard cover collection—have changed. Now she’s got a real mystery on her hands.

Cooper West is on a losing streak

Robbed, beaten and on the run from thugs, Cooper is down on his luck. Somebody just tapped danced on his face and stole his precious motorcycle. Now he’s a drifter whose wings have been clipped, so he’s got a reason to stay in town a while. And he just found another one. Hannah’s funky hair and her talent for swan diving into hot water make a fascinating combination.

And bad news travels fast

Someone is out to get Cooper, and Hannah’s a sucker for strays. But when his bad luck tangles with her bad hair, it jump-starts a bumpy ride through the tunnel of love.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

What I like about Nancy Darryl books are her unusual storylines. Like HERE LIES LOVE, BAD HAIR DAY has a lot of twists and turns and goes where you don't expect it to go. I especially liked the heroine, Hannah. She's funny, she's brave, and she has exceptionally bad hair. It's hilarious.

Cooper is not your average hero. I wasn't sure I liked him at first—except that he resembled Heath Ledger—because he was mechanic and he drove a Harley (Heathcliff never drove a motorcycle!). But that's okay, he redeemed himself many times over and turned out to be a wonderful man with whom I wanted Hannah to fall in love. The rest of the cast is zany and fun.

I recommend BAD HAIR DAY!
