HTML:<p>Vanessa Chavez is a successful assistant chef in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She's rich with friends, loved by her family, but she has one giant Achilles heel: she keeps falling for married men. Not that she knows they're married: each and every time she's duped, mistaken, taken for a ride, outright fooled. When The Husband Habit begins, Vanessa has just fallen for a married guy yet again-but this time, the wife finds out about Vanessa and tries to run her over with her mini-van. There's nothing for a girl to do but take a vow of celibacy and figure out why she makes bad choices over and over again. Vanessa focuses on work (sure, whatever), hangs out with her parents (boring!), and resists the efforts of her friends Manny and Lucy to set her up on dates. They introduce her to Kevin, and even though on paper he's all wrong, he's got great manners, and he's awfully good-looking. Not bad in the kissing department, either. But just when her guard goes down, the red flag goes up: Kevin, of course, is married. But could there be an innocent explanation?</p>. THE HUSBAND HABIT is Generation X's princess story of fame, love, and fortune. Beautiful Vanessa overcomes childhood traumas, earns a graduate degree in literature from Yale, and returns home to New Mexico, where she's considered a genius chef. Amid all this overachievement she has one foible: She repeatedly falls in love with married men. It's all because she grew up with combative alcoholic parents, says Paul, her new love, muscular and supposedly single. Eve Bianco flawlessly narrates the author's buoyant prose. Effortlessly Bianco portrays Vanessa's youthful na•veté and emphatic opposition to the Iraq war, where Paul served as an interrogator and fighter pilot. This production is a perfect stress reliever, with tantalizing recipes as a bonus. K.P. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine. Literature. Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook.
