3 1/2 Stars! ~ Last year I read my first book written by Dixie Browning and I has promised myself to dig out more from my TBR. I'm cashing in on my promise and found this love story as pleasurable to read as my first. Ms. Browning has a delightful sense of humour and she creates heroes and heroines that are loveable, quirks and all. The chemistry between Val and Mac works wonderfully and the back story adds to their tension to make this a riveting read. I'll be pulling out more of Ms. Browning books from my TBR :)
