I absolutely adore this series and have devoured all books written by J.D. Nixon.  I had to read the one star reviews to see what on earth people didn't like.  Most of the complaints were about the "vulgar language."  Um, OK.  If your preference is G-rated books only, that's certainly your prerogative.  For most people, this is not an issue at all.  The language is part of what makes this series so real.  It's not foul for the sake of foulness.I can't recommend this series enough.  It has the perfect combination of mystery, thriller, romance, character portrayal ... everything.The Heller series is probably more popular, but I think I actually prefer the Little Town series (not that I don't love the Heller books too!).  Little Town is a bit more serious, a little less zany.  Tess and Finn are outstanding characters -- the kind you wish you knew in real life.  Nixon does a fantastic job with secondary characters as well, which is the mark of a great novel.
