I really enjoy her books. I still have a few of her older ones in the TBR pile that I really must get to!!<br /><br />Well Nath - you shall just have to get one out of your ole TBR pile *g*. I recommend either Letters to a Secret Lover or One Reckless Summer. Both were excellent!<br /><br />Orannia: You're welcome *g*.

This one reads quite well without having read One Reckless Summer, but whereas I gave this one a 4.5, I gave One Reckless Summer a 5 out of 5Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-42801668075939999352010-06-12T13:31:44.861-04:002010-06-12T13:31:44.861-04:00Leslie

The main reason though is you will fall in love with Mick. That's all anyone talked about in the reviews & comments for ORS.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-56315130507966806602010-06-12T13:15:29.263-04:002010-06-12T13:15:29.263-04:00Wonderful review.

Her site says they are part of a series but written as stand-alones. <br /><br />Oh, funny about the apple picking. I used to go when I was a kid, and loved it! We could eat as many apples as we wanted while we picking and then got cinnamon donuts and apple cider when we were done.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-37438825718194810252010-06-12T00:25:26.079-04:002010-06-12T00:25:26.079-04:00BTW Kristie

I've also read stories where the guy does the moving whether it's from a big city to a small town or just from one place to another. This suited this book because of the farm, her grandmother & Mike. It made more sense than if Mike followed her to the city. Besides, this is the age of the internet & many jobs can be done from wherever.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-66683045978229160292010-06-11T23:37:44.165-04:002010-06-11T23:37:44.165-04:00Mary - wasn't Edna a hoot!!!

I hope to shock my grand kids like she did someday - if I ever get any that is *g*<br />And I've met her a few times too - though I don't know if she remembers me. The last time was at RT where I sat in on a workshop she was one of the presenters of.<br /><br />The Book Pimp Blogs: other than that one quibble I had, this one was the awesome. And man, can she write some smokin' hot love scenes!!<br /><br />Lover of Romance: As I said, I've always enjoyed this theme myself too. And at the end I didn't see it so much a giving up of her old life as a reprioritizing her life. That how I always see this theme. I'm not sure I'd want to live in a small town - but I sure do love reading about them *g*.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-38114182490914202412010-06-11T23:26:51.469-04:002010-06-11T23:26:51.469-04:00Great REview!!!

That was LOL funny. I agree about the apple-picking time & Edna & Rachel's chats. BTW I met Toni at Lori's on the weekend. She is so nice & friendly.Mary Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470057739043473942noreply@blogger.com
