Grab your sparkliest tiara, blend your favorite fruity drink, and get ready to laugh and cry with the women of the Tiara Club. Georgia Elliott grew up in a small Gulf town full of Southern charm---and a superefficient grapevine---so the few secrets she's managed to keep are precious, including that she invented TV's hottest new kitchen gadget, the Miracle Chef. A second-generation beauty queen, Georgia turns to women she knows she can trust to keep her secret from her controlling society mama: the Tiara Club. All the members are veterans of the pageant circuit, but they've just admitted one woman who doesn't fit in---a Yankee who's never taped her breasts or smeared glue on her butt to wow the judges. And this year the Tiara Club is determined to help this outsider win the coveted Shrimp Queen crown. Add in an impending wedding and the club's attempts to keep Georgia's secret, and the women of the Tiara Club have to do all they can to hold on to their poise, their friendships, and their senses of humor.… (altro)

This one's All About Secrets. Heroine Georgia is an ex-beauty queen and secret inventor. She and her friends call each other the Tiara Club, as they're all veterans of the beauty contest circuit--all except one. On the day everything changes, Daniel, the host of a TV cooking show reads a letter from Georgia's friend Callie praising the Miracle Chef and he announces a cook-off to test it. The problem is, Georgia invented the Miracle Chef and the reason why nobody can find another is that Georgia only had two made--one for herself and one for Callie. When Daniel shows up on her doorstep wanting to speak to the inventor, the fabric of all their lives starts unraveling. It's funny and poignant, examining family and friendships, and asking the question whether secrets keep people apart or allow them to remain friends. Oh, and there's a nice, steamy romance, too. My only complaint is that I had a hard time swallowing the mother's rationalization. ( )
