A Delirious Summer

Would you travel thousands of miles just to get a date? Neil Rucker's tempted. His life as a Spanish language teacher in Ecuador affords little opportunity for romance. So when his worst student, stock-broker-turned-missionary Jay Jarvis, negotiates a trade of extra credit for a respite in Greenville, South Carolina, Neil's delirious summer begins. But the girls of Greenville aren't waiting for dates. They've crafted a plan -- a database and an organization -- to find Mr. Rights in every denomination and congregation ... if only Neil and other available bachelors show up at the same places they do. As the girls church-hop in search of the perfect man, Neil struggles to keep up and find the perfect girl among the Neapolitan choices: short, demanding redhead Lydia; thrill-seeking and lead-footed blonde Darcy; and the very tardy but dangerous raven-haired Alexis with the pierced eyebrow. Between the reckless driving, the double-double mochas, and the lessons in crabbing for dinner, Neil will have to figure out who's the girl for him -- a process that would render any guy delirious. - Back cover. To Neil Rucker, seven months, one week, and a day is too long to wait in between dates. Bu
