I loved this series, all five books and the recently released novella.  I look forward to the sixth installment in this series coming next spring (can't wait).  The first things that attracted me to this book were the fact that the heroine's name is Savannah (same as my daughter) and the fact that it was a mystery.  Being a woman from the south (Texas), I identified with Savannah in many ways.  I did not grow up in a big antebellum home, but good manners were ingrained in me from birth.  I also identified with being told who was acceptable to be friends with, date, and/or marry.  I grew up in a home where racism was present, much like Savannah.  However, I can also relate to Rafe, as I grew up in a single-wide trailer and didn't have much money for extra stuff.  I found the books to be entertaining, and I liked that Savannah does some soul searching throughout them.The romance aspect of these books is refreshing.  I like the inuendos and double entendres that are present throughout the books, as well as Rafe's blatant references to his attraction to Savannah.  That being said, even though Rafe is not physically my type (think more Todd Satterfield), I do have a literary crush on him!  I hope that this author never stops writing about Savannah and Rafe and the hijinks that ensue while Savannah is just trying to earn a living and figure out who she is and what she wants in life.
