Help:It’sBeenDrivingHerNutsforYears

Bitchery Reader Amanda asks for your brilliant assistance:

I never actually read this book, but I read the excerpt in the back of another romance and thought "that sounds fun in a melodramatic family soap opera sort of way" and told myself I'd pick it up on my next trip to the bookstore. Except I forgot. And by the time I remembered the book the excerpt had been in had been weeded out of my romance collection.

So here's what I remember: contemporary, takes place in the Pacific Northwest (part of me would swear to Oregon, but its highly possible it's either Washington or Northern California too). Girl was in love with her older sister's boyfriend for years, older sister went off to conquer the world, boyfriend and younger sister have a Night of Passion that results in pregnancy. They get married. Now, ten years later, they're getting divorced/have been recently divorced despite the fact that she's still desperately in love with him. To top it off, her older sister's coming home for the first time in years!

Our heroine was named Allison and I think her sister was Terra or Tessa. I also distinctly remember the hero being quietly angry in the first chapter because Allison showed up early to pick up their daughter.

I think it might be a Barbara Delinsky, but again, I wouldn't swear to it.
Ring a bell anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

I think it’s ‘Just the Way You Are’ by Barbara Freethy. This one drove me crazy because it was right on the tip of tongue and for the life of me I couldn’t remember the author’s name. After walking the dog it finally came to me.

i’m absolutely sure it’s’ Just the Way You Are’, by Barbara Freethy.  The
heroine is Allison Tucker, who loves her Sam but thinks he still has the hots for her sister Tess.

Right answer in the first post only 1 and 1/2 hours after the question is posted to the main page. 

Hot damn!  The bitches are good.  I just wish someone would ask one that I know.
