Repetitive

I don't understand why this author seeks to "beat a dead horse" with these books. I am on book three, which sees the third woman come into the same tiny town to be married as an arrangement of necessity within an impossibly tight time frame. Honestly, one would think that this wee town exclusively relies on rushed weddings and adoptions for growth.

The first story was easily predictable but at least different from my other reads. However, by the third iteration of similar plots, I am ready to pull out my hair.

Sadly, even though this series is only the second I have read from this author, the other series was *also* a collection of similar plots with only slight variations - all within the same tightly-knit group of people in a short time frame. I want to say I loved it all, but I am fairly disappointed.

Side Note:
The narrator uses an innocent, vulnerable (almost childlike in book 2) voice for her female leads. This was not too bad in book one. However, that makes it impossible not to notice when she switched up the book one female lead's voice to an older, more put-together tone as the friend of the new female lead. By book three, the narrator has added a slight Spanish accent to the same character. The lack of consistency is jarring. It is not the end of the world, but not great.
