Another Big WOW for this 2nd Baxter Bros. Book! I fell in love with these two main characters, Tough and Kelly. The author has brought some awesome senior citizen characters into this book and they just give you lots of “warm fuzzies” in their reactions to Tough and their total high regard of this man! This is another excellent book by Jessie Gussman about the Baxter Brothers. Great characters, enchanting story that keeps you riveted through the entire book, a very clean read, and I would highly recommend this book to all. There is a wedding in this book and what fun!
I received an ARC copy of this book. However, this is my voluntary and honest review and all thoughts and opinions are solely mine.
I am loving these Baxter Boys books by Jessie Gussman. I am eager to read the next story. Tough Talk is the story of Tough Baxter, a mechanic and advice columnist, and Kelly Irwin, a social worker and child advocate. These books are small town romances. Neither Tough nor Kelly got a great start in life. Both are dedicated to helping others. This is quiet, compelling, heart-warming story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was sorry to get to the end. This works well as a stand alone, but the main characters from book one appear as secondary characters in this book. I highly recommend it.
