"Another fabulous contemporary from JT. I knew this was part of a series, but didn't realize it was basically a collection of stories about many characters in one small town. Not all of them get their happy ending in this book, but it was enough to be intriguing and make me fall in love with the town. Now I can't wait to read the other stories set in Harmony, TX."

“This return to Harmony once again draws the reader into the intriguing, delightful, sometimes humorous, sometimes painful, lives of the town residents. The ending ties up some threads, and leaves some dangling for the next visit to this captivating small town.”
— Romantic Times“Even for readers new to the series, the intricate relationships between these affable men and eccentric women are easy to follow and even easier to love. Thomas skillfully juggles the many subplots, and the relationship between Ronelle and Marty, which inspires both to trust again, is especially touching.”
— Publishers Weekly" The series has become what I consider to be realistic romance, but still has other plot lines to make for a sweet, quick read. "

— Connie, 1/25/2014" Ok....not as good as her others.....too much jumping from one situation to multiple others..... "
— Kassie, 1/17/2014" A good read about people in a small town and their lives. Each character is different and interesting. "
— Shirl, 12/31/2013" Bad Grammar, and Unbelievable Situations did me in. I'll not be reading any more of this author. Note, from p.84, second sentence of Chapter 14. "Even though Hank had married and built Alex...." "
— Mum, 12/18/2013" I think this is my favorite in the series so far. I really enjoyed this book. "
— Sharon, 11/14/2013" Not sure what number this is in the Harmony series, but the author has to many plot lines in this book that she is starting for future books. Pick one or two couples and concentrate on them. "
— Pat, 10/31/2013" Another good read, the third in this series. I love this small town and the characters who inhabit it. Am glad to hear that Ms. Thomas is hard at work writing another book in this series, due out in 2012. "

— Denise, 5/15/2013" This is a fine romance. Ms. Thomas ties a lot of loose ends from the previous books in this trilogy while creating other loose ends. I finished the book wanting to know what happens next to all the characters. I look forward to the next book in the series. "
— Martha, 2/9/2013" It was fun to revisit Harmony in this story and see where things are a few years later. I was very glad to see Tyler's story finally worked out and really liked Ronelle's story. I hope there is more to her story in the next book. "
— Jodi, 12/31/2012" Wonderful continuation of the Harmony series - book 3. Grabbed my attention from the start and never let go. Tears, laughter, conflict, romance. Quickly reconnected with favorite characters from the 1st two books as well as some new ones. Can't wait for the next book to be released. "
— Joanne, 10/14/2012" A small town series that makes your heart smile. "
— Mical, 9/28/2012" I always enjoy Jodi Thomas' books. This one was also an enjoyable book to read. It is, I think, the third in The Harmony Novel series. However it stands on it's own, but it is nice if you read the other two first. Because then you have the background of all the characters. "
— Gigi, 7/12/2012" The third book in the Harmony series was outstanding! I look forward to reading the fourth. "
— Lori, 6/25/2012" Nice book about home, family, and taking chances. The book has multiple plots running at the same time. I would have like to have had more about Reagan and Noah, but maybe that's coming in future books. Worth the time, and as always with Jodi Thomas, you get a satisfying ending. "
— Sarah, 5/13/2012" Another heartwarming story from Harmony. I'm hooked on this series. "
