Book 28/30. My rating: 3 of 5 starsThis was a cute, easy, enjoyable read that took me slightly over 24 hours to get through it.

The O’Hurleys Collection by Nora Roberts
Books 21 – 24/30. I find that whenever Nora Roberts does a trilogy with three women, the first woman is always interesting enough to keep you hooked on the series, the second woman is the boring one (don’t @ me 🙈) and the third woman … well, let’s just say she tends to save the … Continue reading The O’Hurleys Collection by Nora Roberts
