Rhonda McKnight is now an auto buy author!!! The way she combines the rich history of South Carolina, from a perspective that is not often told, and generational growth has me invested every time.

I started and finished this book in one day and could not put it down. The main characters reminded me of real people that I have met and were surrounded by diverse side characters that added so much to the story.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 74%.
I just didn’t care about the characters enough. Not sure if it’s a me problem or not.

Absolutely loved this sexy cozy romance. The author was able to keep the themes light but  realistic. The only negative would be that I would have preferred it to be a dual POV.
