Clocking in at only about 60 pages, Biggest Little Truckstop was a pretty simple romance where a quirky guy found a woman with a big heart.
Kate and daughter Susie had to run from a stalker and when their car broke down in Starwood, they had to go to Truckstop Diner and met up with Mac, the eccentric owner. Kate needs a job, and Mac needs a hostess / waitress, But Kate wanted to move on, and Mac... had a heartbreak and vowed to stay away from women (except his cousin, who was the hostess / waitress until she went to take care of her animals). The attraction was mutual, but both are keeping secrets, yet both can offer something the other wanted... Can such a quirky romance work?
The romance worked when Mac relented and made minor changes to the menu because he no longer had to take orders, while Kate can use her previous experience to make the Truckstop diner and success. In a way, it's about going home. And that makes it sweet, if a bit, vacuous.
