New favorite series

This is a great series - intelligent writing and well thought out storylines. Can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent

Another excellent book from Lee Hollis. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Mark and the grandson are adorable

Poppy has become a dud. Not funny, endearing, cute as in previous books. She's rude, self-centered and boring. Very disappointing.
