We find romance in some very odd situations and that is the case with Jane Morgan in Ms.Demeanor. When this attorney is spotted getting caught up in passion with a junior member of her staff on the rooftop of her New York apartment building, she is placed on house arrest for six months. But when life gives you lemons you make lemonade, right?

Jane is suspended from practicing law during this time so she begins cooking using a recently acquired late Aunt’s antique cookbook. She also learns from her doorman that there is a man who lives in the building on house arrest. She decides to visit him and find out more. Little does she know that these two will have more in common than what first meets the eye and a romance slowly develops.

Surrounded by an interesting cast of supporting characters (including Jane’s twin sister), Jane’s life over the six months is highlighted. A mystery surrounding the sudden death of the woman who called in Jane’s rooftop night of passion is cleverly woven into the story.

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version of Ms.Demeanor which is narrated by Piper Goodeve. I thoroughly enjoyed her performance. It was articulate, enthusiastic and full of expression. I highly recommend the audiobook version of this book.

I recommend this book to those readers who enjoy Women’s Fiction.
