Without a doubt, this book is one of the best, if not the best book in the Blessings, Georgia series. I have other favorites in the series, but this book can make you laugh or make you cry. It's a heartwarming story that I will definitely be reading more than once. It's heartbreaking in the sense that it's the last book in the series.

I'm glad I waited for a copy of this book thru PBS instead of paying full price for it. It was so very disappointing that it made me wonder if Diana Palmer had a "ghost writer" who wasn't familiar with some of her previous characters. I can't believe that any 19 year old girl in today's world is so blasted stupid and unwordly. Grange had been a good character in past books, but was disappointing in Courageous. The book seemed to have a lot of "fill" in it and it sure didn't take me long to read it. It got so bad in some parts that I found myself skimming ahead a handful of pages at a time hoping the book would get better, but it NEVER did. I won't stop reading Diana Palmer, but this book was a huge disappointment

Crazy Little Thing was one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time and is definitely a keeper. The book is light-hearted and a fun read and will have you laughing out loud at several points in your reading. Don't miss reading this book.

I'm a fairly new Jayne Ann Krentz reader, but will have to admit that I really liked this particular book. Also, one PBS member said the author of the book was Jayne Ann Krentz and PBS should change their records which apparently they have done. HOWEVER, the book was first published in February 1984 under the Jayne Ann Krentz pen name of Stephanie James . . . so both names are correct.

One of the best books I've read in a long time. Filled with lots of mystery and intrigue with just enough romance thrown in for good measure. Really enjoyed the heroine and what a hero! I was up way late in the night reading the book as I couldn't wait to find out "who done it". No spoilers from me though; you'll have to read and enjoy the book yourself.


Same Time, Next Year (That Special Woman!) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 937)

Although most all Debbie Macomber books are good, this is undoubtly one of my very favorites. I've read it several times and am on the look out for hardback copy "just because". I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance.

This is one seriously good book. Couldn't wait to receive it on my WL and had to buy it. It was money well spent. One of the best romance books I've ever read and is definitely a keeper. Like another reviewer, I'd give it higher than a five star rating if it was available, but it is definitely a five star read.

I had eagerly awaited the story of Rick Marquez as he seemed to be such a vibrant, reoccurring character in the Long Tall Texan series. This story seemed to be rather bland and "slow going" and was disappointing to me. Not up to par with Diana Palmer's usual writing.

Two stories by Janet Daily. #1 Western Man is about Sharon Powell who has adored Ridge Halliday, a strong and proud Colroado Rancher who can set her heart trembling with one glance from his lazy blue eyes. #2 Leftover Love is about Layne MacDonald's search for her birth mother takes her to a sprawling Nebraska ranch co-owned by the brusque and distant Creed Dawson. (Two of my favorite Janet Dailey stories.)

After waiting anxiously for a new Diana Palmer book, I'll have to say that this particular story was a BIG disappointment. I know some don't like her older agressive heroes/younger virgin heroines because usually the heros can act downright nasty at times. Chief Graves was for the most part a nice guy, but at the end of the story, my main thought was "where does she get these people?" The only character in the book to show a little fire was Rourke. It was a short book, but hard to finish because it was a slow story. I felt like the author was in a hurry to write the book or used a ghost writer. Very disappointing.
