Smalltown Secrets #6
Mister Naughty
How the hell I went from the fall harvest to secretly writing an online dating and sex advice column for the males of Mudville, I can’t figure. All I know is I blame Harper for it. Apparently dating a writer for two years has done something to my brain.
But that’s not the worst of it. Oh no. My bigger problem is that my youngest brother is sprinting to the altar, intent on a Christmas wedding with a woman he’s known for barely a year. Boone beating us to “I do” is not going to sit well with my girlfriend. It should go over about as well as the news that I’m the author behind the column she loathes.
What will happen when I finally confess that I’m secretly Mr. Naughty, the man she’s declared her arch enemy? Hell if I know, but I don’t need any advice column to tell me that my holiday this year is not going to be merry.

We're back in Mudville with Harper and Stone. We all remember them from book #1 - Kissing Books
He's the oldest Morgan Farm Boy and she's the romance author who was house-sitting her aunt's old mansion in town.
And now, two years later, things are pretty good. But they could be better. Why is Stone's youngest brother Boone getting a Christmas Wedding? Harper wants one too - but Stone hasn't asked yet.
But more important is that horrible Mister Naughty who is giving relationship advice in the town's online forum. She hates him - not knowing that it's her poor boyfriend giving all that advice. And he accidentally forgot to mention that. Just like he is now accidentally running as mayor, because he feels guilty for not telling the truth! LOL!
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!

Adorable!
Just like the first books in this series, this one was adorable and funny and small-towny and just so sweet and holiday-ish. I loved reading it.
We meet ALL the people again - plus Aunt Agnes's house pig!
We kind of feel very sorry for poor Harper - she's a tiny bit crazy at the moment. LoL!
It's all very funny and a tiny bit ridiculous - but in a good way.
I just adored this story.
Can't wait to read more about this adorable town and its crazy people!
I also really need to see this on Netflix one day!
MiSTER NAUGHTY was an adorable + funny + holiday-ish small town rom-com! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Stone (and all the others) - these guys are MINE!

Back to Mudville - Woot!
We are back with Harper and Stone, our lovelies from the first Mudville tale.
I love going back to see where couples are down the track. We are two years from Kissing Books, and it is wonderful to see them when the flush of first flirtations and love is gone.
Harper is a little bit bonkers in this one, and I love her even more for it. In fact, she drove me a little nuts whilst reading too, but that is the woman we all like her to be.
This is a little bit Christmas, a little bit ridic, but it wouldn't be Mudville if we weren't taking a ride on the crazy train at some stage.
We got to see all the couples and characters from previous books, and my favourite pig can't miss her time to shine!
I love this town and this series, and I hope we get plenty more in the future.

DNF. I read the first book in the series and liked this couple well enough. There were moments that they got on my nerves in the first book but I could overlook them. In this book, I found Stone to be recurrently obnoxious and overbearing. I found Harper’s upset about the youngest brother’s engagement to be really petty. Stone was a misogynistic man boy.

There is no more entertaining place to be than in Mudville, and I was so excited that Cat Johnson has brought us back there for the holidays. This is book 6 in the Smalltown Secrets series. It centers on the characters of Stone and Harper, who meet and fall in love in the first book of the series. I think you can read and enjoy this as a stand-alone, but when you meet all the amazing characters in Mudville I feel confident saying you’re going to want to read the whole series. I’d love to live in Mudville – it’s that great!
In this book, Stone, the eldest Morgan brother gets unintentionally drawn out of his usual role of farmer and into being an anonymous poster on the local Internet chat board. Simultaneously, his romance novelist girlfriend Harper, is dealing with writer’s block and anxiety about life and their relationship. As they navigate their issues individually and together, the quirkiness and the humor are contagious.
This is an easy read with an effervescent feel that will leave you bubbling over with smiles. I’m very much looking forward to the next book in the series.

This book was like the train wreck that you new was going to end badly but you couldn't turn away. You had to keep reading to see how it all turns out.
Stone and Harper are a couple we have watched fall in love and have their ups and downs. Now they have been together for two years and according to Stone everything is going well. However the surprise engagement of his younger brother turns everything upside down.
Stone is a very laid back man where Harper is not. So when she gets angry at the Mr. Anonymous and us as the readers, know its Stone, you know the longer Stone takes to confess the more interesting it's going to be.
There were times I wanted to shake Stone and tell him to confess before things spiral out of control further.

The universe called. It’s been proven that Harper isn’t actually at the center of it all. Now, I adored Harper in the first book. I even still loved her as supportive sidekick to her besties in the following books. But, the pure unbridled narcissism displayed in this book has driven me right round the bend. And Stone? What happened to the strong noble man I fell in love with in “Kissing Books”? He comes across as a henpecked milquetoast this time around. One thing I can say for certain, the author has most definitely gotten an emotional reaction out of me over this story. Our lovebirds finally talk it all out to get us to a sweet and adorable ending. But holy wow! I felt like I had to work really hard to get there.

Awwwww! This was fun, revisiting a couple from the Kissing Books! Stone and Harper, together for two years, but, there's secrets. Secrets can be fun, but they can also cause harm. This is one of those books that you can say, "all's well that ends well"!
It was fun reading about the solid friendships and family unit! (I love the diversity of the Morgan Family Farm, with the changing of the seasons and how they adapt to support themselves and serve their community!) This has been such a delightful series!

Stone has something he is hiding from Harper and it just might put her over the edge. It seems he has been writing advice on an online forum and she doesn’t like what he is saying. He is worried that if she finds out she will be mad at him. Then she gets a wild idea to run for mayor. Only find out she can’t. But Stone can, so she gets him to do it. Oh the fun in a small town! Again another great book in this series.

Whew!
This book had me anxious the entire way that there may be true trouble in paradise. I don't know whether to describe the action as a roller coaster or a meat grinder. I'm wrapped up in Stone & Harper's relationship that tightly. I don't want to spoil anything, just want to prepare readers this is a bumpy ride ( to happy). Oh these kids!!

I loved coming back to Mudville to see what’s up with Harper and Stone two years after they got together. I didn’t like Harper at some point this time but I still loved Stone and the read. Not surprising because I love reading Cat Johnson.
Hope we get some more Mudville stories:-)

Mr. and Ms. Naughty
I freaking love the town of Mudville!!!! From Petunia the Pig, to the Old Biddies, to the Girls and the brothers. It's small town living at its finest. Being back for Christmas and a wedding to boot was perfect. Harper and Stone are my favorite of the bunch for sure

Harper and Stone - later
A look into Mudville and how everyone is settling in has Harper rethinking her life. Stone is making a debut into writing lol, tho not intentionally. Ups and downs of these two after being together for two years.

great story
This was a cute story. Nice to read more about Harper and Stone. I'm hoping Cat will continue this series with more characters in Mudville. Still waiting to hear more about the discoveries in Rose's diaries that we were promised, though. Keep them coming!

Harper is a writer that likes to procrastinate. She finds ways to procrastinate from writing and keep her busy. Her boyfriend Stone is a real laid back guy and they really compliment each other. Sweet little town.

This lacked some of the pizzazz of the other books. It was nice to wrap up the romances of the three Morgan Brothers, but this story was not my favorite.

Sweet read even though it's not Christmas
Opposites work in this case. Harper and Stone are tuned in and turned on. I love Muscular. Everything here works.
