WILD VIOLETS
Charlotte Stewart has one desire, to attend college. Charles Newcomb, has repeatedly asked for her hand, but she doesn’t want to be wed and stuck behind a tea tray or baby carriage. She is going to be a teacher in a mountain one-room school, where she can make a difference.
Delmar Monroe has finished his law degree and passed the bar exam. Although his father wants him in the family firm, Delmar has always loved music and playing the handmade instruments of his Great Uncle William. Father has promised he can have one year for music and he is heading to the mountains to find special wood for his own instruments.
When fate brings them together in Kyles Ford, they both have to adjust to the ways of the local mountain people. The more Delmar has to help Charlotte, the more handsome he becomes to her. Teaching here is not the career she planned. Ned and Eb Daniel, sons of the local moonshiner, are smitten with the new teacher's looks and smell. When the boys become part of her class, Charlotte faces one crisis after another.
The school board have already read the rules to her, reprimanded her for a second time, but what will they do if their spinster school teacher wants to be a married woman after all?

Delmar and Charlotte
This is the last story in this series by J. R. Biery and it is a great one. The story is well written and the plot has been well thought out; as were the characters, both reoccurring and new. The little mountain town and it’s people were sometimes a little worn and sad, but they also were happy with high hope for the future. This tale was exciting, adventurous, sometimes humorous too. I have enjoyed reading this series and I believe you will too.

Simple
Simple but enjoyable. Like the fact that the characters are from the main story line. Again the end seemed a little rushed.

Wild Violets Mountain Wives Series: Book Three Appalachian Mountain Romance by J. R. Biery
I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for a fair review!
This was a wonderful story of two stubborn independent people who aspire to follow their dreams in the Appalachian Mountains. I have never read about this area, and loved learning a bit about the life of mountain people. Some parts of the story are a bit brash but that just makes the story more realistic. It was very well written and I had to look up several words! I love learning while I’m being entertained! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series!

Five Stars!
This is the first novel I have read by J. R. Biery and I loved it. From the very beginning to the very end, I enjoyed following each of the main characters. Very well written, I loved the detail of how each scene was played out and how true to life it was. I hope I meet Charlotte and Delmar once again, in the books to come. JudyE
