a laugh out loud book

I really enjoyed this book. Listened while at work and could not stop laughing. The sarcasm/ banter between the characters is hysterical. I also enjoyed the narrator, sometimes a book can be ruined by the narration, but not this one. Claire's story is book 2 of this series. I can't wait

Great story and characters!

This book was so different than many others in this genre. It was funny, serious, and just very entertaining!

Delightful, feel good love story

Loved the story - wish the narrator could pronounce ONE Spanish word correctly, though. Also not every Texan has an accent. Lovey characters though.
