DISCLOSURE: Purchased by blogger, reviewed on my blog 3/1/14.  This review is adapted from that.I loved HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION so when I saw this was only ninety-nine cents I ran right over bought it.What a great story, I was riveted.  Sometimes Robin’s writing is so lovely it just jumps off the page. Mostly, aside from the really erotic romance between Risa and Teague, this is an “Old-Fashioned” contemporary romance.  It’s old-fashioned in the sense that it’s good story telling filled with likeable, well mostly likeable, characters in tough situations, depending on support from friends and family to get through it, even if they don’t want to.  Character growth through hard lessons and epiphanies are an important variable in this story.And, LOVE.  The message in this book over and over is that there’s nothing more important than love. It is  the brass ring that you reach out for. Having a place to go home to isn’t bad either.This series takes place in one town, but it feels like a different town from that in HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION;  reflecting on it I realized it is not inconsistent voice but instead it is seeing the town through the different eyes of the different characters.  Even though it is not told in the first person we are seeing the town from  different perspectives. This is pretty sophisticatedly written and Covington writes excellent steamy love scenes!I read this entire book in about three hours — hours in which I should have been sleeping.  If you give it a chance, which I highly recommend,  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
