Confessions of a Carpool Captive by Dawn L. Chiletz is a funny, cute, quirky romance story. This story will make you laugh, cry, angry and everything in between. You will enjoy how the author has created characters that you will be able to relate to. You also enjoy how these characters relate to each other. This story will pull you in from the first chapter forward and you won't be able to put it down. You will love how these characters will take you on an emotional journey. Find out what happens to these characters as they carpool back and forth to work and what they learn from each other.

Liz Foley is a woman who is happy with the way things are in her life right now. She is a loner and likes it that way and has no intentions of changing. What will happen when she meets him? What will happen when he convinces her to carpool with him? He is hot, sexy and irresistible and will make her an offer she can't refuse. She is determined that she doesn't need anyone in her life. Will she change her mind? She is convinced that he is her opposite but is it just a case where opposites attract?

Finnegan Walsh is a new employee where she works. When he is caught in some compromising situations, will he be embarrassed around her? When the opportunity comes up for him to help her will she take what he has to offer? Will he win a spot in her heart?

Liz and Finnegan's relationship is one that grows throughout the story. Their story is one that doesn't start out on the right foot at least for her. She doesn't want anything to do with him. You will love how she breaks out of her shell and how he gets her to come out of that shell. The growth of these characters throughout is just amazing. The supporting characters also play a part in the growth of this story and really they all make the story flow. You will connect to these characters and they will pull at your heart strings. She is a strong character that knows what she wants even though she is a little quirky. What happens when the carpool is the most favorite part of her day? Was accepting his offer the best thing she ever did or will it be the worst?

This is my first story by Dawn L. Chiletz and I know it won't be the last. Dawn currently lives in Illinois with her husband, two boys and three dogs. When she is not writing, you can find her drinking lots of coffee and checking facebook instead of laundry. She is the author of a few other books, you should check out. This story is a fast page turner that will have you reading until the end. You will not be able to put it down. You will enjoy how the author as created a story that you can get totally lost and caught up in. You will love the characters she has created in this story. I highly suggest this story as I know you will find yourself laughing out loud a lot like I did.
