This book is actually a collection of three stories from two different authors: Debbie Macomber, Janice Kay Johnson, and Judith Bowen. I bought this book for my Nook because I love reading books by Debbie Macomber. But, I did not realize that I had already read the story of hers that was included in this collection. This did not stop me, however, from reading the other two stories. They were good, short reads and very worth my time.
I have to admit that Debbie Macomber's story which is included in this book is a bit over-the-top far fetched. Honestly, a small town in Alaska that is short on women adverstises for them in the paper and actually gets women to move there? Really? I wouldn't go. The story was funny and, believe it or not, there's an entire collection of these Hard Luck Alaska stories. And, yes, I have read them all.
The Glory Girl is the second story and it's about Jack and Hannah. I could TOTALLY relate to Hannah--the good girl no one elver really wants to date who loves her job as a librarian (my DREAM) and who thinks that no one could possibly love her or be attracted to her. It sounds like high school and college all over again! The story turns out well and is, as I said, a good, short read.
Promise Me Picket Fences by Janice Kay Johnson was my favorite story in the collection. I just loved the characters of Kevin and Melanie. Their story was a sweet one. I do so love when men open their hearts and spill out their thoughts. It only seems to happen in books, so I take it when I can get it!
This is the PERFECT book to take to the pool or to the beach. Too bad I can't loan you my copy.
