About the author
Gwendolyn Grace
18 books203 followersI am mad about books! It all started when my sixth grade teacher Ms. Schwartz read Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls to our class, I looked forward to the time after recess when she would read a chapter or two to us. I've been hooked on books ever since. One day I stumbled upon Goodreads and discovered a world of crazy book junkies just like myself! Since then I've become a blogger, beta reader and promoter of romance fiction. I also found the courage and support I needed to try my hand at becoming an independent author. I can't wait to grow as a writer and share the characters who have been inhabiting my brain for years!

Favorite Quotes:
“I'd spent eighteen years trying to get out of there and had no intentions of raising my children in a town whose religious beliefs were so overzealous they bordered on creepy."
"I hoped for once in her life she would just give in, be the mother I needed her to be and stop punishing me. I'd already beat myself up enough over my mistakes and I didn't need her to help me feel any worse."
"Suddenly I was all tied up in knots and I couldn't figure out how to untangle myself."

My Review:
If not the queen, Annie is at least the princess of poor choices and has lousy taste in men, a short attention span, and even shorter memory. She remained hell-bent on rebellion from her mother's tedious and fanatical level of piety, long after leaving it behind - but actually, that is something I completely understand and can get behind 100%. In other words, Annie is a hot mess, yet she was also likable and I cared for and about her while holding my breath she would pull herself out of the murky mess she had created. Of course, I knew she would, this is fiction after all, but Ms. Grace made me work for that highly desired HEA. I was quickly ensnared in Ms. Grace's craft; Annie's words squeezed my heart and held my attention from beginning to end. The story was a quick and easy read yet interesting, involving, and entertaining with a few hits of steamy goodness. Hal was a perfect BBF to counter Annie's flightiness and less than stellar judgment.

This was a good book. Annie had made not so good choices, but she was trying to get better at it for her two very young children. She kept trying but kept getting knocked down. Then she met H. He became her everything, but she was very slow to trust. Good story about trying to overcome obstacles
