I will.

I'm only on chapter 1 but something that caught my attention was that everyone in this town has a double Decker name ! Max Macord , Billy Brown , Jacob Jensen ....

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LMBO! I didn't know that. Funny.

I'm about 55% . I didn't know anything about it other than it would match this sun-genre .I don't read blurbs so everything that happened was unexpected to me and I can't stop reading .

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Oh, I'm sooooooo glad you're enjoying it, ShoSho.

Done and loved it! I'd have loved an epilogue and (view spoiler)[ a peek into Wally and Philadelphia's lives ! (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Definitely! To both.

GTK, Judy. Did you listen to the audio?

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I have the audio, so I'll give it a try. Thanks, Judy!

I just finished reading and it was very sweet. A very good ending in a great series.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Glad you enjoyed it, Elizabeth. Love that series.

[Elizabeth]

Me, too! Reviews said this book wasn't as good as the first two but I'm glad I read it!

Loved <--- This one is a marriage of convenience so it counts for next month.

I read and really enjoyed it. It was a cute story, and the main female character wasn't whiny or whimpy :)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

That sounds like a nice change of pace, Valorie.

It was. I've found that, sometimes the historical romances I read have whimpy females, so this genre is kinda hit or miss for me. I guess I got lucky this time!

I didn't get to post but I finished earlier this week and I just loved it.

Don't just by the cover, Beverly Jenkins writes wonderful characters and interesting slices of African American (and American) history. In this case lady gambler meets honorable farmer when his orphaned nieces decide she should be their new mama. The kids are adorable, Loreli is strong & funny and Jake is honorable and loving. Awesome.

Looks good, Karen.

I don't think I've ever read that one, Bookcrazy.
