| Not a BG fan and this tale reads like a great piece of original fiction. Great friendships, humor, romance, and, on a more serious note, a side story of domestic abuse. I thoroughly enjoyed this. - Anonymous - Aug-05-2016 What a wonderful cast of characters! I thoroughly enjoyed this tale. - Anonymous - Aug-07-2016 It starts pretty slowly, but I loved that I got to know the characters. This grew into a story that drew me in. As much as the romance was nice (and much more than nice in places), I really liked the friendships and the humor that carried the plot. - Anonymous - Sep-01-2016 I loved this story!! - Toni - Sep-06-2016 |
