Another excellent read about Harmony, TX. I was so glad that author Jodi Thomas wrote Ronny Logan's story. Amazing that she survived her mother!! If you have been reading this series do not miss this most recent book.

This is the seventh book in the Harmony series and I had some problems with the dialogue. Because I listened to this (instead of read it), this may have had an effect on my perception of the dialogue between some of the characters. Another problem I had was the unlikelihood of the poker games' results. On the plus side, it was wonderful to see Ronny Logan again.

Reagan Truman and Noah McAllen re-emerge and it is interesting how things work out for them. I'm sure it was not the 'horns of a dilemma' either of them was expecting.

Nashville has become home to Beau Yates, as he has become more of a success. However, he and Border Biggs still return to Buffalo's Bar monthly to do a show.

There are four new characters to join Harmony in this novel. Kieron O'Brian, Abby and Dusti Delaney and Captain Austin Hawk interact with the regulars of the town and tell their stories.

The only down side to them is that I got really tired of hearing the same things about Abby and Dusti's dreams. I got the message the first dozen times they were mentioned. Abby had to stop nursing school a year before she could get her degree. Dusti wanted to to study photography. Both girls were needed to take care of the farm (and their parents). Now that their parents are gone, they must remain on the farm to earn a living. Neither sees a way out until the poker games come to Harmony.

The characters are comfortable and I enjoyed seeing them again. I felt the story was hampered by some trite and corny dialogue. Otherwise, it was a great trip back.
