This was more like an "Afterschool Special" than a romance book. There really was little to no romance. The bullying storyline was interesting, but I wasn't expecting it to be the focal point of the whole book. I think the "Sweet Magnolia" series may have gone on a little too long. I mean, pretty much every woman in the town is a member now. Anyway, it wasn't a bad book, just don't read it looking for a big romance.

Very good book!! I thought it was better than the first one of the series. The romance between Duncan and Peg was very entertaining and her children added a lot to the story. Looking forward to the next book in the series!

I really liked this book a lot. In my opinion, it was the best in the series. Or maybe I had just gotten to know the majority of the characters better. But the main storyline of the book, that introduced three new characters, was the most interesting of all four books to me. I'm not sure if there will be a fifth book, but I hope there is.

This is a very good book! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next book in the series. But first I guess I should go back and read the rest of the books in order. But this can definitely be read as a stand alone book. Very good!

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I think it might be a little better than her last few books have been. It had a little too much emphasis on the inn renovation, especially in the beginning. But I really enjoyed the romance between Beckett and Clare. Definitely worth reading!

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was a fast and easy read. That being said, I did have a couple of problems with it. Jenny Tolliver, the lead character, had a few instances where she was just not very likable. She seemed to not understand the concept of keeping a secret. And of course she and Mick got really close really quick. I thought that was a little unbelieveable. But, all in all, it was a good book and it held my interest.

This book was great!! I didn't want it to end. I only recently started following "Pioneer Woman", and I highly recommend her to everyone. The story has everything- laughs, tears, and plenty of romance. I will definitely be keeping this book in my collection!

I enjoyed this book a lot. You don't have to read the rest of the books in the series - this can easily be a stand alone book. I enjoyed the romance between Dylan and Katie , loved the twin boys. Very good,quick read.

Overall I enjoyed this book, but it takes a while to get into it. The best part to me was the mystery from 1938. The romance between the two main characters, Olivia and Dylan, never seemed real. I just didn't believe they cared about each other at all. It's an okay read, just don't expect a lot of romance.

This was a difficult book to get into. I can usually read a book in a couple of days, but this one took about twice that long. The storyline is okay ,but there are so many characters to keep up with. I know its the first in a series ,but I felt it could have focused a little more on Cooper and Sarah. I actually enjoyed the Deputy McCain storyline the best. I will probably read the next book in the series, but I hope it's more interesting.

"What She Wants" is a very entertaining quick read. I enjoyed reading about a man's point of view. I would definitely recommend all the books in the series. Can't wait for the next one!
