A person can run and they can hide but their past will always be a part of who they are even if they don’t care to acknowledge it. And sometimes it takes something strong to bring our past forward so we can finally deal with it and move on.
A light, enjoyable read
This book contained some errors better editing could fix, but it was so entertaining I’m glad I bought it. I loved the thought process of the protag.
Such a fun and easy read! I was able to finish the first two in a weekend! LOVE the characters!
Great read.
Love, Alabama is a wonderful small-town, Southern love story. Emma Laroux, former Miss Alabama, has barely dated since a humiliating break-up. When she meets Matthew, the producer of her sister’s cooking show, her defenses are up, but she starts to fall for this handsome, charming man. But Matthew realizes that he and Emma had met before, 10 years earlier, at a time when Emma’s life fell apart. Emma’s ex, Tad, now the town mayor, still finds ways to ingratiate himself into Emma’s, causing her grief and heartache, and making it hard to trust any man….can Matthew gain her trust and her heart? Love, Alabama is the sequel to the equally charming Again, Alabama, and it was fun getting reacquainted and catching up with the Laroux family. Love, Alabama is a lovely read as a standalone, but you will want to read more about this enchanting family in the first book!
Obvious written by a therapist or therapy enthusiast. Some times a tree is a tree and a jerk is a jerk. No need to find a definition or worry about motivations, just say duck it and move on. The analyzing of every little thing and taking blame is so very grown up and unrealistic. The whole book rings more like a therapy session about how people should react than what actually happens and the sad part is this that someone thinks this is better. Depression doesn’t magically disappear because someone cares. A controlling abusive person would not allow someone else to win even if they have to kill to win. And therapy doesn’t make everything better. People are messed up and some like to be broken. Fixing broken is hard work that most people would rather run from than do. That’s life as as complicated and messy as it is; I prefer real to fantasy.
Not realistic. Confusing at times.
Love the Alabama books. Great reads
Boring and predictable, but amusing for a light read.
Sweet Southern charm and history with one another leads to love.
Okay, I grew up in the south and moved away in my early twenties. The situation of what happened in college in a frat house in Alabama all seemed normal to me! Bring in our new character ,Matthew, who is remembering but not finding a way to let Emma know he did know her! Sounds confusing, but worked into the book beautifully! A story of a young beauty queen who had to re-invent her life! She is sexy and smart and does a great job of It, while trying to decide if Matthew deserves a chance. Small town setting and lots of family moments. Loved the romance progressing from friend before hitting the bedroom. Sex scenes were handled respectfully instead of ridiculously over describing.
I read this book some time ago … it was a great book that I truly enjoyed reading…
Loved, loved this one!
Nice, romantic story with a touch of suspense. The characters were likable. But it was a bit slow-moving.
Good book.
Strong characters building good lives despite past tragedy
Heartbreaking with a good ending.
I truly enjoyed this book.
Way too much drama. Not realistic. Not only did the two protagonists have too many issues, but their families were also loaded.
