New author for me. Really enjoyed this story, and I definitely will read this author again.

Well written and proofread. Yay!

A lot of characters dealing with various issues from their past and as well of one unhealthy personality that effect as individual and a town.

I’m so excited about this series. Sands is a fantastic writer and can’t wait for more!!!

This book was a little hard for me to really get into right at first. Not sure why, but that’s not unusual for me. But fairly quickly, I found the people & the rhythm of the book. And I enjoyed it very much. The author did a great job of filling out the main characters very nicely. The “supporting cast” were relatable & with each one, I had faces in my mind of people I know. All in all, the plot was well done, even the sinister Tad was so “real”. I’ll look forward to reading more from this author.

Nice, romantic story with a touch of suspense. The characters were like able. But a bit slow-moving.

Sweet story. Got to be from AL to really understand all the U of AL vs Auburn rivalry plus the pageant stuff. Nice characters except creepy husband.

Sweet story with an intriguing storyline full of different characters. It is surely the true epitome of a small town!

and involves supportive family relationships. It's a cozy read with sunshine galore. Personal issues are resolved while mental health issues go away with a conversation or two. Love abounds and legal issues are resolved quite easily. A bit of editing here and there would help a bit. This is an easy and addictive read.

A book with likable characters and not too graphic sex, full of beautiful people. I could see this as a Lifetime movie. It doesn’t take long to read and is entertaining.
