Eddie Hunt story has touched not only my life but that of my 14yr old son who has found Eddies book to be a treasure he will always hold dear to his heart. It has helped him through many of his own trials related to his disability. This is a book for all ages, as well as for those with a wide range of abilities.

I found this book a moving and emotionally powerful story of hope and courage in the face of the seemingly insurmountable. Eddie Hunt has plumbed the depths of his tradegy and found the wellspring of strength and courage that provides insight and inspiration for us all.

Eddie Hunt is an outstanding example of human spirit & courage. A small town boy with a life rich in family, friends & hope for the future. Albeit gut wrenching at times, I could not put this book down! I can honestly say my life has become richer because of it. Eddie's candid & remarkable story will continue to touch my life and the lives of my family as my young son shares similar disabilities. I am proud to have grown up with the author in our native Stockton, California as he has always been a glorious example of community, American courage, determination, vitality, and fervent strength. I want to thank him for continuing to be this shining example & for sharing his "Slide Through Time".~

A reader of novels, most always fiction, this book was truly a change. This story is not fiction or fantasy, this story is true. A story that grips your heart and doesn't let go. Your emotions are on a roller coaster ride. You are sad, you are happy, you smile and you cry. Mr. Hunt is truly an amazing gentleman with much to offer everyone who reads this inspirational book. I thank him for sharing his story and providing us with the courage to move on with our lives, no matter what the obstacles might be.

. . . during summer holidays at our cottage! The characters are ones I can identify with since they seem to be like the people who are a part of my life. I find it comforting to be reminded that there are angels amoung us and ones that protect us, even tho we can't see them--the spiritual world. It also reminds me that my prayers are crucial, no matter how small and quick some of them may be--My Lord and Saviour answers them all and hear each one, and gives power in the heavenlies.
Great job on these books! I got the first two done in a week, on my holidays and am working on the 3rd now. Its hard to put them down--so some more work around here may not get done--OOPPSS! I look forward to getting the next 2 books.

The theme "coming home" resonates as both the hallowed and human residents of Heavenly Daze ponder a possible kidnapping by the lighthouse keeper, the sudden reappearance of Stanley Bidderman after twenty years of silence, and Annie Cuvier's longing for a cruise to find Mr. Right. An island of simple folks drawn with foibles, failures, and endearing faith, Lori and Angela provide a fun and feisty read for all ages.

Lori and Angela:
I have read and reread all that that you have written about the Island of Heavenly Daze, and my question is: When can we expect more of these delightful books? They are so uplifting and spiritual, and I crave to know more about the people of Heavenly Daze and the seven angels who are assigned to watch over them. PLEASE tell me that there are more coming soon. :) I loan them out with great care, and when I think my friends have had enough time to read them, I ask for them back! You are among the few authors that I treasure in my collection.

Thank you so much for enrichng my life,
Ruth E. Young

Without a doubt one of the best books I have picked up this year. This one has been sitting in my stack and I picked it up last night to read something before bed and haven't been able to put it down! I look forward to reading the first two. I have to say that all the characters grabbed me and although I knew some of what was going to happen I couldn't wait to read it and rejoice right along with the citizens of Heavenly Daze as they learned more about themselves, each other and the Lord. Bravo!!!

Was looking for something to read on the beach and the cover caught my eye..the lighthouse. I didn't know it was a series and read Warmth in Winter first.Just finished Grace in Autumn.Great "feel-good-yank -your priorities- back -in- line- cause- God is- handling- the- situation" reading.

Pleasing to the eye and stimulating to the imagination, this book describes and depicts twenty-six "fabulous beasts" who were once the thing of everyday legend in times past. An excellent book to refer to time and again, and one children should love. Well-illustrated and nicely-written, this is a good work to add to the home library of anyone who loves the past, the landscapes of Medieval fantasy, or who simply appreciates colorful art.

I thought that it was very good if you like monsters that where thought of real in the middle ages. All ages should like it. This is a good book for people that like Monsters

I thought that it was very good if you like monsters that where thought as real in the middle ages. All ages should like it.

My sons and I have been reading and rereading this book for four years, since they were 4 and 7 years old. At 8 and 11, it's still our favorite. Just the right amount of information, great illustrations, and a starting point for terrific imaginings!

I have taught at both the Middle and High School levels and found that Bestiary: An Illuminated Alphabet of Medieval Beasts and Illuminations both by Jonathan Hunt are a wonderful way to introduce the medieval period to young adults. These books are not just children's books. Bestiary: An Illuminated Alphabet of Medieval Beasts and Illuminations introduce the students to important vocabulary words and mythological creatures from this fascinating time period. This is a great way for students to relate to the period in a nonthreatening manner. These books allow me to make the Middle Ages fun. They are both filled with information as well as visually stimulating. The author takes each letter of the alphabet and associates it with something medieval in Illuminations and something mythological in Bestiary: An Illuminated Alphabet of Medieval Beast. The illustrations are breathtaking in both. You will learn something new with each reading. I highly recommend both books to young and old alike.

This is one of the greatest books ever written about suicide, and even more so, about the redemptive power of knowledge from a spectacualar journalist who is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. Let's face it, no one likes to talk about it. But all ages, genders, from all walks of life often hit bottom with this alternative as seemingly their only way out. I cannot recall a more profoundly moving book that reaches into one's soul - and provides paradoxically a lifeline that one may need some day.

Tom Hunt's beautifully written Cliffs of Despair is both a study of physical geography (Beachy Head, a seaside promotory and chalky cliff in England which is supposedly the third most popular suicide spot in the world) and a compassionate, sensitive and inquiring look into the mysterious and painful geography of the suicidal mind. This is indeed, as author Andrew Solomon states, "an elegy for everyone who has committed suicide."

Hunt left his family and job as an English teacher in America to travel to Beachy Head to try and find answers to the unanswerable - why Beachy Head? Why suicide? Hunt's prose quietly transfers the reader to the very site of Beachy Head; one can almost feel the cold winds of the sea air, and staring at the photograph of Beachy Head on the cover, one can almost imagine standing at the ledge, looking down at an unimaginably frightening sheer drop. Hunt himself seemed frightened of his momentary urge to run off the cliff; an urge I had as well looking at it - an urge that seems, if not universal, shared by many, for reasons known and unknown. Undoubtedly Hunt was touched significantly by the suicide of his schizophrenic brother-in-law, whom he writes about with gentleness and grace. He methodically seeks out answers from locals who live and work near Beachy Head (and who by and large don't seem to want to talk about its macabre notoriety): pub workers and patrons, cab drivers who often unknowingly drive people to the site of their demise, rescue workers who have the unenviable and often dangerous task of recovering the bodies of those who jumped, the coroner, and even a man who survived the jump, only to come out of it sans depression, but paralyzed from the waist down.

Hunt almost seems more interested in the question of why suicide, rather than why suicide at Beachy Head, and indeed, for part of the book, he reflects on suicide, the concepts of sanity, insanity, mental illness, physical illness, the countless reasons (both serious and banal) why people take their own lives. Hunt ends his personal inquiry with a compassionate and non-judgmental look at those who made the choice to jump into the abyss. Indeed, his compassion is almost palpable; this is a highly sensitive man who is simply trying to understand the place the suicidal mind travels to - a place that is ultimately unreachable to him.

Cliffs of Despair's saddest and most poignant moments are perhaps found in Hunt's relationship with the family of a young man who, depressed and upset over a thwarted love affair, jumped to his death at Beachy Head. Hunt stays with the family, talks with them, listens to their searing grief and heartache, sits in silence with the unspoken 'why's.' He returns to the visit the family a year later, sleeping in the dead man's bed, pondering those 'what if's' and 'why's' that so many survivors of suicide obsess upon.

There are no answers to be found in this study of the intersection of geography and unbearable pain: the 'why's' will always remain, much like the sheer, chalky cliff that has invited the death of over 500 people in the last 30 years. Long after you finish Cliffs of Despair, the feeling of falling will haunt you and the images and words Tom Hunt constructed will cut through your consciousness much like the cold winds that blow across the dispassionate cliff face of Beachy Head.

This book was beautifully written. It was honest, insightful, and just a pleasure to read. I got caught up in the experience of it all. The topic is one that is demonized and contested. Hunt put himself out in the open. And I really enjoyed it.

I'm rereading Cliffs of Despair, and am as awed by it now as when I first read the opening scene. It's a deeply moving and personal account of the author's attempt to understand more about a death in the family, his response to it, and about suicide itself. Having read months earlier about a popular suicide destination in England called Beachy Head, Hunt is driven to visit the place after his brother-in-law takes his own life at the age of twenty-one. His book reports in unflinching detail his conversations with police, cab drivers, members of the coastguard's rescue and recovery teams, and even a palm reader. Initially hesitant to articulate the reason for his visit, Hunt's sincerity and purity of purpose eventually earn him the trust and confidence of those most intimately acqainted with Beachy Head's allure. The result is a well-researched, sensitive, carefully written book that somehow avoids the risk of exploiting the lives and deaths it documents. I was touched and amazed by Hunt's compassion and integrity, his delicate use of humor, and by his willingness to reveal his own secrets along with those he discovers. I recommend this book to everyone, but especially to those who work or live with troubled adolescents, are interested in psychiatry, or who have been affected directly by suicide.

I haven't read a book so satisfying on so many levels in a long time. It's perceptive, beautifully written, informative, compassionate and even, in places, funny. I couldn't put it down. For six hours on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I was transported to the cliffs of Beachy Head and didn't want to leave.

Just a comment related to previous reviews: a) this is not a novel but a true story, and b) it is not really about Canada, since New Foundland was not part of Canada at the time. But it is an incredible story about a family blown apart by WWI. The documentary video is also great, but hard to find.

I don't have a lot of time to write reviews, and I don't often write them, but I enjoyed this book so thoroughly that I'm sad to be finished reading it. It's one of the best memoirs I've ever read, though it's not really a memoir. One of the best family history books I've ever read, and yet it isn't that either. It is hands-down my favorite book about Newfoundland that I've read, though there are many more I want to read. Macfarlane is a masterful writer, and his work is filled with insight, thoughtfulness about the past, dead ancestors, and what they mean to those of us still living, even if we'd never met them. Though I'm wary of reviews that say things like this, he really does, quite improbably, tell a compelling story of Newfoundland itself through the story of his ancestors. The book somehow never descends into the maudlin or sentimental; it's quite a clear-eyed view of the meaning of World War I for Newfoundland and for the Goodyear family. The ending was striking--I'll probably never forget the image he painted on the last page. Loved it from start to finish.

I am ashamed to say that although I have lived in Canada for 37 years, I knew nothing about Newfoundland's history and consequently nothing about Newfoundland's participation in the First World War. A university lecturer recommended this book to me, and I heartily recommend it to anyone with an interest in the First World War (and in Newfoundland, more broadly). It is a beautifully written, poignant book which compares favourably with Robert Graves' Goodbye to All That and in some ways is better than Graves; it has none of Graves' cynicism.

This book inspired me to visit Beaumont Hamel on the Somme, where so many men from Newfoundland lost their lives on 1 July 1916. In the rest of Canada, 1 July is considered a day for celebration, because the country came into being on that date in 1867. Now I understand why Newfoundlanders cannot and will not celebrate 1 July as a holiday. For them, it is a day of mourning.

Ironically, for us on the west coast of Canada, Beaumont Hamel is easier to reach than Newfoundland. Having visited the former, I hope one day to visit the latter.

This is a great novel about how a war can affect a family, the family business and the province for many years after the war. Before WWI Newfoundland was a the oldest and thriving member of the British Empire (they joined Canada in 1949). When they were called to war they sent their best sons, and they sent all of them. In one battle on July 1st, the Royal Nlfd Regiment was almost completely wiped out. This has effected the economy and liveihood of the island for years. The RNR monuments of a bellowing caribou on the battlefields of France are a testiment of their valour. While the rest of Canada celebrates Canada Day on July 1st, to the Newfoundlanders it is a day of mourning and rememberance the RNR and the sacrafices they made. This book is a great testimony to the brave Newfoundlanders and their families during that time.

This is an amazing book: history, biography, auto-biograhy, philosphy all combined into a powerful tale of family character (and characters)that stays with you. In essence, a simple reflection on long past lives from a little corner of the world, Newfoundland, all wound up in the Great War, it becomes a haunting tour-de-force of the power of great events on everyday people.

The chapter "Fire" is in itself a small masterpiece and one I find reading again and again even now two years after the first read.

I picked this book up by sheer accident in a small bookstore in Banff and have been thankful for my good fortune of discovering this gem.

Clymene O'Riley is in prison for murdering her husband. The authorities think she is a black widow and has killed others, but they haven't been able to prove it.

Diane Fallon is in charge of the Rosewood, GA, crime lab as a forensic anthropologist as well as director of the River Trail Museum of Natural History. Actually the two jobs work well together.

Clymene is a manipulator and very smart. She asks to speak to Diane. FBI Profiler Ross Kingsley talks Diane into seeing her.

In the meantime museum assistant director Kendal Williams is under scrutiny, along with the museum, due to a report in a local newspaper that she knowingly purchased stolen artifacts. The rumors could destroy her career.

Clymene escapes from prison and is believed to have been murdered. Diane becomes the prime suspect.

Can she and her crime lab staff discover the identity of the real killer? Can Diane also help clear up the reputation of the museum and Kendal?

I absolutely love this series. Diane is such a great character. No matter whether she's caving or investigating, or working in the museum. I devour these books and can't wait for the next one.

The author does such a fabulous job plotting them out. I always have a terrible time trying to put the book down. I just have to keep reading to find out who did it and how.

I highly recommend this book and series.

Forensic anthropologist Dr. Diane Fallon is back with another twisted adventure involving her beloved RiverTrail Museum of Natural History, of which she is the director. Right now there is a lot keeping her busy - most prominent is the lead story in the local paper about one of her employees - assistant director Kendel Williams - dealing in stolen antiquities through museum channels. But in the middle of that fire is an incarcerated felon (Clymene O'Reily) asking Diane, who helped ensure Clymene's conviction, to help save the life of a prison guard - a felon who is convicted of killing her husband and suspected of much worse. When Clymene escapes prison shortly after Diane's visit, all eyes turn to Diane - did she help the serial killer, or is she about to become her next victim?

Though small, the museum is teeming with activities from the employees - museum and crime lab. Yes, crime lab. Diane is also the director of the crime scene unit for the area, whose labs are housed within the museum, as well. While her specialty is bones, her reputation for detective work has preceded her, and this time she's teaming up with FBI profiler Ross Kingsley in the search for Clymene's past - a past that the chameleon-like criminal has managed to keep under wraps. Using her know-how in forensics and anthropology, Diane and Ross managed to dig up more than a few secrets - but can they do it without ending up like the fossils in the museum?

Diane should take up juggling, because it seems that is all she does in this book - and she does it well. Handling the FBI concerning the lost felon while dealing with the FBI agents investigating the stolen artifacts is confusing enough - but add apartment troubles and secret poisonings into the mix with several irate and outspoken members of the museum board, one is never sure where the story is heading next.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Connor's work, and I hope that won't happen next time. Fallon is an excellent, well-rounded protagonist whose life is somewhat on the hectic side, but never dull. There seems to be some stretching to get the small museum in on the crimes, but Connor has created something of a unique situation to keep the series alive. This is a great mystery with suspense, a little romance, and forensics all between the pages.

This book was a great follow-on to the series. I wasn't disappointed and can't wait for the next one!

Dead Hunt was my first experience with author Beverly Connor. I decided to give her a try in part because of some of the positive reviews of her books here, and I must say, I'm sold! Immediately upon finishing Dead Hunt, I went on line and ordered a copy of Dead Past, the book in the Diane Fallon series just prior to this one.

First of all, Dead Hunt is very well written and was a joy to read! Also, Diane Fallon isn't your typical heroine. She's a forensic anthropologist with a fascinating career, working both as Director of the Rosewood Crime Lab and Director of the RiverTrail Museum of Natural History (which owns and houses the lab). Her dual hats make for some interesting plot possibilities!

In this installment, Diane has received a letter from Clymene O'Riley, a woman in prison for murdering her husband - convicted on evidence found by Diane herself. The letter requests Diane's presence at the prison. While Diane has no intention of meeting with the woman she believes is a serial killer, Ross Kingsley, the FBI profiler connected to the case, requests that Diane comply with the request. At their meeting, Clymene tells Diane a strange but worrisome story involving a prison guard, something that Diane can't ignore.

In addition, Diane finds herself embroiled smack dab in the middle of a scandal involving the museum which places her in an exasperating and career-threatening situation that diverts her attention from the meeting with Clymene - that is, until she learns that Clymene has escaped from prison and crime scenes start to pile up, with Diane herself in danger.

Diane Fallon is surrounded by top-notch, loyal individuals, both in the crime lab and the museum, and they work together diligently and relentlessly to get to the bottom of everything that is going on. The science is fascinating, and the characters, both good and bad, interesting. I recommend this book highly, and fully intend to read more novels by Beverly Connor - especially the next Diane Fallon Forensic Investigation book!

It's amazing that every Beverly Connor book doesn't immediately rush to the top of the best seller lists. Her books are among the most readable and consistently interesting I've ever encountered. DEAD HUNT, the fifth in the Diane Fallon mystery series, is no exception.

This series is set in a natural history museum in a small town near Atlanta and is full of small town politics, gossip and a modern version of southern charm that is tempered by life in a major metropolitan area. The recurring characters are well developed and just quirky enough to avoid some of the common cliches seen in so many series. Ms. Connor has concocted a mix of police procedural, forensic magic, historical detail, romance and violence to appeal to nearly any taste. I guarantee that you will learn something new in each of her books; in some it's the inner workings of museums, in others it's forensic details that would make Kathy Reiches or Patricia Cornwell proud, in DEAD HUNT you'll find some fascinating details about DNA profiling and some pretty darn spiffy computer work. You'll also find one of the most interesting villains you're likely to encounter, one with a background that is somehow both totally outlandish and yet totally believable. There is a lot going on in DEAD HUNT including an escaped serial killer, suspicious goings on involving Egyptian antiquities, unexplained attacks and large amounts of money that can't be explained but Ms. Connor manages to keep all the balls in the air at all times and neatly fields them all at the end of her act.

DEAD HUNT is one of the strongest entries in this series and is just different enough from it's predecessors to keep things interesting while staying true to the established characters and settings. This isn't one of those "well it's time for another book" series entries, it's original and very entertaining.

I strongly recommend all of Beverly Connor's works especially her sadly out of print Lindsey Chamberlain series (well worth scouring the used book stores for!). The only problem is that there just aren't enough of them!

I recommend this book for any parents who what to show there children how to be responsible with money.

This book had some great practical ideas to teach your children how to be financially responsible.

I found the book, Debt-Proof Your KIds to be very useful. I recommend it for any size family at any age. The methods outlined in the books can be helpful for any one at any age.

This is a great book with many great points and ideas. I can't wait to start implementing the Salary Plan!

This book is both extremely readable and extremely useful as a resource for parents with kids of all ages. If you're like me, you grew up with parents who didn't realize that money values need to be taught. As a result, growing into a financially healthy adult has been a long path of many avoidable mistakes. I was so thrilled to read Mary Hunt's advice so that I can give my kids the tools to master their own finances without making my mistakes. I'm buying a copy for all of my cousins and friends with kids ...

Wow, this book was so intriging, I read it all in one sitting! I couldn't put it down. I was laughing out loud one chapter and bawling the next. If you like suspense, romance, humor, and a little insanity; this book is for you!

Impressive! Janice Hunt delivers an action packed story involving writing, relationships, and of all things the IRS. Very emotional writing. You will be laughing out loud, crying, falling in love, grieving hopelessly, and basking in triumph. The information in this book is very informative and overwhelming. Where has this one been hiding? The IRS has long been an untouchable organization and feared by many until now. Janice Hunt displays real courage writing about this subject. This author can see the light and knows how it should be and makes an unforgettable stab at justice. You will not forget this one!

This book is incredible. Everyone in America and who must deal with the Internal revenue service must read this book. It is to your advantage to educate yourself and know what you are dealing with. Not only is this book Informative, it is extremly entertaining. I was surprised to read that this is Janice Hunt's first novel. I completely fell in love with the characters. I laughed and cried out loud. From the sixth chapter on I couldn't put the book down. It is such a psychological thriller that it should be made into a movie, that is if Hollywood would be able to touch it with a ten foot poll! Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Duplicity is hard to put down. I look forward to reading over and over again. It's hard to stop once started. It has a little of everything; action, suspence, romance, and intrique. A very good book. I highly recommend that you read it.

Wow says a lot for this book. I was really impressed with the depth of it. It involves a writer who manages to get in over her head with the IRS and how she cleverly escapes disaster. It will have you turning the pages in a heated suspicion. It is very well writen and very captivating. You will be feeling and picturing it as you read. I went from laughter to tears several times. There is also an interesting love story for basis of the book. A lot of ground was covered in this one and I read a lot of books. If you pay taxes in this country, then you need to read this one! It is a must!!!

Jim Paluch has written a part novel, part self-help book that even the most stubborn of readers would have trouble putting it down. It tells the story of Eric Carlton and what happens when he is forced through sheer exhaustion to stop working and is faced with the most important project in his life that he had long ago forgot to complete: a book examine the "5 Important Things". The transformation that he and his family goes through is amazing, and should inspire all who read this book to evaluate just how well they are doing to follow the principals thought :Continuing to Learn, Appreciating People, Attitude, Setting Goals, and Not Quitting

I have no doubt that any author of self help books, including Jim, will agree with me that regardless of the limitless amount of self help books out there, they are all useless unless APPLIED - including this one.

You can get caught up with the character in this story-Eric Carlton- and learn how he progresses through learning the 5 important things: Continuing to Learn, Appreciating People, Attitude, Setting Goals, and Not Quitting (i.e. following through till completion). However, the story is not about Eric, it's about YOU. It's not about how he changes; it's about how YOU change.

We at LifeApps! at Yahoogroups are constantly looking to how to apply the concepts that are brought up in these wonderful books. Are you ready to transform and APPLY the concepts that are in this book? If you are then welcome on the journey that millions have taken and have enjoyed, you will not regret it. Don't apply it and all you would have done is to have read another book. This can be either a ho-hum experience, or a major positive life changing experience. How do you want to use it? YOu have the tools with this book, use it wisely, but USE IT! DO IT NOW!

Five Important Things is more than five important things. It is the most important five things that anyone needs to know to be a more effective and loved person. It's energizing to read and difficult to read slow. I found myself going back and re-reading just to absorb and bask in the thoughts several times as I raced through. I bought several copies to have on hand for gifts throughout the year.

A fantastic novel that pulls the reader along with suspense and a unique storyline. A must-read for any young (or old) person preparing for a successful career!

This is a well written book. It is a short novel but is PACKED with so much information. It speaks of the "5 Important Things" but intertwined throughout are themes of perseverance, family, commitment, and most important FOCUS!! This is a GREAT book for anyone who wants to make a DREAM reality!

Laughing out loud at this tale of wedding planner vs. divorce lawyer would be par for the course while reading this top seller. The only thing that you won't like about this book is when it comes to an end, and you finally have to put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone! Get your hands on it. You won't be disappointed.

This book is a gem. Take a divorce attorney and the owner of a wedding chapel, add in their children who want to get married, and you have a recipe for fun. The sense of humor in this book is great. The romance real. And the characters aren't your normal 20-somethings. This is the first of Diann's books that I've read, and now I understand why everyone raves about her style. This is a great read and fresh addition to romance.

Wendy's a wedding coordinator who revels in seeing couples live out happily ever after. She's also a widow. Mario is a divorce attorney who's bills get paid when he successfully helps a couple break up for good. He's also a divorce. The two couldn't be more different and wouldn't have crossed paths if Mario didn't happen to move in right next to Wendy's business. The sparks start to fly almost immediately and the chemistry between the two begins to heat up. Wendy tries to resist Mario's charms but finds out that she just can't. And then her son breaks the news that he's engaged to Mario's daughter.....

This story reminded me of all the great 50s movies where the leads are total opposites yet still somehow find themselves being attracted to each other. I mean how completely different can two people be by one advocating marriage and the other trying to profit from breaking it up? Wendy wants nothing to do with Mario yet he keeps popping up everywhere. Then she starts seeing all the bad things about Logan. It's funny how when you want to stop liking someone, you can focus on everything negative about them and then you find them repulsive. The writing is sprinkled with humor throughout which will keep the reader giggling. Scenes such as Wendy's foot phobia, Roseanne's fear of birds and the whole geese sequence will have you cracking up. There are serious topics discussed such as parent/child relations regardless of what age the child is. Also the sanctity of marriage and the effects of exactly how the spouse left the other is brought to the light in the book.

There were times however when I felt that Wendy acted like a pushover. I felt this especially during confrontations with her dad, Brooke, Mario and Logan. She didn't seem to want to argue back or push her case more. It made her character seem really weak because she wouldn't put up a fight or speak up about what she really wanted to say. This was especially evident when Sophia and Colin announce their engagement and Wendy does not allow herself to have a heart to heart talk with Colin. I felt that she really should have sat down and talked with him instead of just saying no and then just trying to pacify him. This brings to mention something that did slightly confused me throughout the book. Wendy and Mario's kids are dating. Wendy and Mario start dating. If Wendy and Mario get married, their kids will become step siblings. If that happens, it looks like step siblings will be marry each other. What was weird is that this is never brought up or mentioned at all. It's nothing major, just something that kept running through my head the whole time I was reading the book.

This is a fun story, perfect for those who are looking for a light hearted funny story with a touch of romance. A perfect Valentine's Day read!

I love Hunt's stories, and this was her best yet. The conflict between a divorce attorney and a wedding chapel owner was hilarious to watch play out. I laughed out loud all through the book. Hunt has a great touch with romance and humor that keeps me glued to the page. This book is not to be missed!

This book ws great until the end and I didn't want to put it down. It actually had me laughing out loud at times. The end was fantastic! Totally clean and enjoyable.
