One of the few books that I actually laughed out load reading. And then some parts were serious. Good book.
Best book that I have read in 2018, Funny, romantic, with a little bit of magic. Please write more.
This is an enjoyable bit of fluff for a relaxing read.
This was a wonderful book. But I could have slapped Alec for not only using Joy but also for treating her so cruelly. But the path to love is never easy. This book had all the ingredients to make up a fine watch’s brew, love, passion and a lot of comedic moments and together they worked very well together.
I love this book, and Jill Barnett. If you like romance humor, you have to read this book and Jill Barnett.
This is one of Jill Barnett’s best books. Such a well written story filled with humor and pathos
I read this long ago as a paperback, and it is still one of my favorites. When it popped up in my e-book suggestions, I just had to have it on my iPad to read whenever I want!!!
One of the most entertaining romance books I have read in awhile. Hated to put it down.
I really bought into these characters, and am about to start book 2, something I rarely do. Wonderful storyline with vivid, rich descriptions, and authentic emotions. I laughed, I cried, and I was truly charmed. 6 star read
enjoyed all the books i read by jill barnett
