"I liked this story. Good characters. Fun read"
— Kimberly (4 out of 5 stars)
“Not since Norah Lofts’ Suffolk House trilogy has an author so brilliantly incorporated a home into a romance. Readers are sure to adore the outspoken heroine as well; her love of life and family are contagious. If the love story is rather typical the execution isn’t. The colorful backdrop and Henley’s ability to capture the era will enchant readers.”
— Romantic Times“The characters are refreshingly fun and the story is a delightful romp from beginning to end, with the perfect balance of impudence and romance.”
— Publishers Weekly" This was a good read. Not fantastic but a good, easy book to read. The characters were funny, deep, and charismatic. The story line was well written with just enough details to be good but not too much to be boring. Well worth the read. "

— Kristy, 2/9/2013" The best thing about this book? Thomas. He was the only reason I was able to finish it and give it 2 stars. "
