My Thoughts...
 

 I can tell that this was Freguson first book, the dialogue was difficult to follow and it made this a hard read.
The story would have been a good one if not for that.
The characters were well thought out and most were likeable. A few I could connect with.
The cover was done well, I can see it's a nice cover.
I gave this book three stars. I am going to read book two in the  Southern Hearts series and see if I connect with the characters.
