Really good book. Now it is Marcus's turn to find love. He mostly considers the women in town a necessary evil. Without them, the men won't stay. His main concentration is finishing the things that need to be done so that the town can get the grant they need to move on. He is determined that it will be done. Alicia comes to town, undercover, because she is sure there is something fishy going on. She hits town and ends up as the manager of the diner as they try to get it up and running properly....more
I have been waiting to read this one, Marcus was wound so tight that watching him fall was going to be great. I thought how Marcus first met Alisha was great! I kept waiting for that to come back on him, but it didn't.
Alisha surprised me. I sort of didn't like her from the start, thought she was going into her job with a biased and even when she got to town she really didn't want to see what was there. She kept coloring everything to her bent. I felt like she betrayed so many people with her st...more

review:Baby Don't Go by Stephanie Bond
4 STARS
I really like this series about the town of Sweetness was destroyed by a F5 strom. Only the water tower survived. The Armstong brother came back home to rebuild the town. They brought in lots of workers that lived in a bunkhouse. But no women, so they put out ad in Broadway Michigan for women and offered a free room and board lots of single guys. To help build a town again with green jobs and buildings stronger.

Okay, the third in the trilogy with the serious-minded alpha brother as the center-piece of beefcake. Probably the best of the three, since it has the most interesting characters. Sexy and light.
My BIGGEST problem with this whole trilogy is geography. I know, I know, I'm being petty here, but the place is in the mountains of GA, which would be in the northeastern part of the state. Why go 4 hours to Atlanta for supplies and recreation when Chattanooga would be half that? Atlanta is very cosmopol...more

Hmm.
I like the town in this book. This is turning into one of those series where you love to read about the town and it's population along with the main romantic storyline.
It is very clear in this book that Stephanie Bond will be making a large series out of the town Sweetness. It's a good thing that the town is interesting and that so much changes in the town from book to book. So that's quite exciting to watch.

Not as impressive as I had hoped and the ending felt kind of rushed. I really never liked the heroine, she was too snotty for my tastes. I can't believe in this day in age that she would be that clueless on the ways of how southerners behave. She was always so surprised at how everyone spoke to her when they passed.
I'm guessing I was supposed to feel like she was kind of a wild child because she had a tattoo. Big deal. She was still stuck up. Plus, if she's supposed to be an undercover reporter...more

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third installment in Southern Road’s trilogy. I typically do not read a book in a series without reading all of them, but the author was able to provide enough of a background that I was able to keep up. The town of Sweetness, GA was destroyed by a tornado, and the Armstrong brothers have their mind set to rebuild the town so it can sustain any natural disaster as well as be eco-fri...more

I won this book for free from Stephanie's contest web page. This was very good, it's the 3rd book in the "Southern Roads Trilogy", and now I can't wait to read the first two books. In this story the eldest Armstrong brother Marcus has no desire in finding a wife like his brothers have. Trying to rebuild the town of Sweetness in the mountains of Georgia after an F-5 tornado destroyed all of it ten years prior is all he's concerned about. The other Armstrong brothers ran an add in a big town newsp...more
This book rounded out the trilogy nicely, especially since the 2nd book was such a dud (due to the heroine). Although some of the things that happen seemed repetitive from the first two books (things that happen, not just that Bond mentions them again), I still liked this book. I think it was the most humorous of the three. Although I thought Alicia had plenty of times to confess to Marcus (and or the town) what she had done(was doing), especially once she realizes she was wrong about her reason...more
As the oldest of the three Armstrong brothers, Marcus had a lot of pressure from not only his family, but the town of Sweetness, Georgia. 10 years prior a F-5 tornado leveled the town and the Armstrong brothers made a promise to their mom that they would rebuild so she could move back. This book is the last of the triology, with the two other brothers paired. Alicia Randall goes undercover to see if the brothers are doing something illegal. She writes a blog for a feminist magazine which report...more
Alicia was just too cute. Stepping out of her comfort zone of the city to go undercover in Sweetness sounded like a good story, but she got a little more then she bargained for in Marcus. Her problem with fire was pretty funny considering her new job in the diner. Marcus has been my favorite brother all along, due to the fact he just seemed so strong and in charge. What we got to see in this story was all the problems and stress that Marcus has been putting on himself break through his strong ex...more
Book 3 (well, book 4 if you count the mini book as the first one). I liked this series. Stephanie Bond did a series called the Body Movers that was FANTASTIC, so I was enthusiastic to start these and it seems her writing took a step back. The characters were hard to really get to know, it was very predictible. I like it, which is why I gave it 3 stars, but it was definately missing that spark of other books by her. It was a nice read, a typical love story. I would recommend it to others, I just...more
Interesting read. Unfortunately, the first book I read of this series and also happens to be the last book so I feel a bit like I missed out. It's ok as a stand alone book but it seems like very much a part of a deep series so I would recommend picking up the previous 2 books in the series as well as the prequel.

This is the third and final book in the Southern Roads trilogy by Stephanie Bond about three brothers who are rebuilding their hometown, which was completely decimated ten years earlier by a tornado. The first two books focused on brothers Porter and Kendall and explained the concept of the story. Basically, there are hundreds of men rebuilding this isolated town and they start to get a little antsy because there are no women there. So, in order to appease the workers and make sure the...more

Of the three Armstrong brothers, Marcus is the most determined to rebuild their hometown of Sweetness, Georgia, which was wiped out by a hurricane a decade before. Now, Sweetness is being rebuilt and since Marcus’s brothers placed an ad for women to join their town, it seems like things are coming together.

almost 3.5 stars
Given Marcus's perpetual grumpiness in the two previous books of this series, I knew it would take a special kind of woman to chip away at his heart. He's been so completely focused on his hometown of Sweetness -- constructing and repopulating it, making it green, managing everything -- that he rolls his eyes at his brothers' respective love lives. What I wasn't prepared for was Alicia's deceit in order to gain an "in" with the townsfolk.

This was honestly the best book in the series to me. I will admit that I skimmed over some sections that just seems like the kind of stuff that is in every single romance story on the planet. But this book actually drew my attention in better than the other two, I'm not really sure what the difference was. This book has convinced me that I should give some of her other books a chance. Glad that I didn't just give up on the series after the first two uninspiring books.
So my favorite book in the series is definately the first one. It has the most humor. I am not suprised that this book isn't as funny as it is about the oldest brother who has a lot on his shoulders.
My favorite scene is when she accepts the cook position and tells her boss and her boss says "You, you burned the microwave" and her comment back was that it was a faulty bag of popcorn.

This is the final story in the Southern Roads Trilogy and it headed perfectly. I really enjoyed this story and liked it much better then the second book that I found at times trying. I loved seeing how the town comes together to make a wonderful, safe place for everyone to live. The story between Marcus and Alicia is a wonderful mix of ups and downs. This trilogy is wonderful, a must read!
I agree with other reviewers that the end was too abrupt. It seemed She was in a hurry to bring things to a conclusion but it was too fast for me and like another review said it doesn't really resolve the issue with her and the community. After all she did write them in the blog and Rachel was so upset with her. Also is there going to be a book about Rachel and who she ends up with?
This was the best story out of this series. Alicia goes undercover to expose Sweetness as a town full of domineering men, that make their wives wait on them. After she meets the Armstrong brothers and realizes that things are not what she thinks and she falls for Marcus the oldest brother who is spearheading the project to rebuild the town.
My least favorite of the series. The tension that was the driving force of the story, her being an undercover reporter, was dragged out to a dissapointing anticlimatic moment of reconing. Some issues were not resolved. Like Dr. Cross and Rachel's relationship. But i was happy to see the people of Sweetness goergia pull their town together!
I had some trouble with how quickly Alicia went from being a NYC girl to being content in Sweetness, and I had a hard time warming up to her. I'm wondering if this is the end of the series, because the author really could go further. I'd like to see Rachel's story line play out for one.
A satisfying ending to the trilogy. I think Marcus is my favorite Armstrong brother, although I didn't warm to Alicia overmuch. The side story with her mother and father, though, was touching, and the entire town is practically a character of its own. The ending was top-notch.
I liked this one better than the 2nd book, but I never really liked Alicia vey much. The plot felt formulated and shallow. I liked Marcus, his character was more believable for me.The first book was the best one of the series in my opinion.
Meh. I think this was a good ending to the trilogy, but it's not really my cup of tea and Alicia's waffling about her principles & the town was really annoying. So, yes, I give it a resounding Meh.
