Very nice
I enjoyed this series of books and am looking forward to reading the next 3. The lack of steamy content and obscenities was also refreshing.

This series is so good! Tess Spencer is an extremely likable main character with the perfect mix of spunk and strength. The relationship between her and husband Thomas (and in-laws) in these books are so authentic. The West Virginia setting is amazing as well. I have read all 3 of these books and they are all 5-star caliber. There is also a 4th book coming in March of 2022, which will be at the top of my list of most anticipated books. Read these today!!!

riveting!
Worth reading all three. I enjoyed the continuity through them. It would be great to read some adventures of the moms, Charlotte, and Rosemary.

great mystery
This book was just as good as the other two. Constantly keeping you own the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. You don’t want to put it down. Excellent reads!
