All the ‘happily ever after’ books, all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️

The first book in Herron's trilogy about a trio of sisters who used to be famous country singers--and now are struggling in various ways--centers on oldest sister Adele, who makes her way to her father's hometown after her uncle's death, to deal with his various businesses--and to deal with the bartender who wants to buy his saloon. These two are mostly cute together, though Adele has some moments of incredible bitchery (she is very cruel about an alcoholic woman the reader knows is her love interest's mother) and slut-shamery (Adele is sexy in a classy way, not like all those OTHER women in their low-cut tops). Otherwise this is nice, light entertainment, and I am curious to read the followups. B/B+.

Tentatively saying I enjoyed this book. Was a super quick read and worth the .99. Sort of a mindless chick-lit romance, not my usually brand of entertainment.

This has the horribly real awkward moments that make me cringe but doesn't quite resolve the black moment (the insurmountable obstacle) in a way that makes sense. Meaning the female lead says "I love you," the male lead says "I love you" and then the book is over, but there's no actual discussion of a resolution. Just saying "I love you" isn't a perfect cure-all but apparently in this book it is.

I have no idea how this book got on my kindle, or why I read the whole thing. I think I was in a weird head space.

The characters are shallow and forgettable, the "conflict" was petty, and the writing was reliant on creative writing classes and cliches.

Not my usual genre, but I loved this, and not just because I love my old internet friend Rachael. Smart and feminist and compassionate, entertaining fiction, looking forward to the next two books in this series. Also: HOT.

I adore Rachael's books and always race through them. Once again these are characters you come to care about and want to know more about and are rooting for throughout the story even when they're making mistakes. Very enjoyable romance and I can't wait to read more of this series!
