Ilustration Supposing Books Welcome to Last Chance (Last Chance #1)
Dear Reader,Yes, our town is way off the beaten path, but strange, wonderful miracles happen a lot around here.
I've owned the Cut 'n' Curl beauty shop for years, and I've seen folks come for a visit, then stay for a lifetime. Take Jane-that pretty firecracker of a girl who just arrived in town. I would swear she's running from something. She came with only five dollars in her pocket but she's worked real hard to make a fresh start. She's turned my son Clay's life upside down without even realizing it.
And thank goodness for that! Ever since Clay left his country western band, he's played everything too safe. He needs to take a chance on Jane. Besides, the more he tries to keep his distance, the more he'll realize that he and Jane are singing the same tune.
But I should quit ramblin' and go check on Millie's permanent wave. Next time you're in Last Chance, be sure to swing by. We've got hot rollers, free coffee, and the best gossip in town.
See you real soon,
Ruby Rhodes

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceAfter wanting to read this author for quite a while, I was happy to discover that the first book of this series was on the shelf at the local library and I grabbed it up, without even looking at the blurb. Yep, I just knew I needed to read this author and I was NOT dissapointed. This book was simply wonderful. I loved everything about it. And boy did it make me laugh so very hard, and I wasn't expecting it to be so funny, but it really was.I read this book because I won it -- the old knight in shining armor plot isn't really my thing. But this was pretty good. I fully expected to read a few pages and put it away, never to be seen again. And to be sure, there are a few of eye-rolling moments. But it's a page turner and I'm considering reading the next Last Chance book, simply because the characters are fairly interesting and I'd like to read more. Good beach read-type book.
This is a brand new author. No, really! It says so right on the cover of the book. There's definitely potential here. This is one of those books that a review is best told by the characters themselves. Jane: The main lady, is broke and on the run from a disasterous past. Let's just say this poor girl has made quite a few made decisions, all of them revolving around "weasel" guys. Her words on the weasel characteristic. She arrives in Last Chance on the 9:30 bus from Atlanta. Pay attention here,
Religious beliefs are front and center here. I have learned to quickly read through it and concentrate on the characters development, so it was enjoyable. It's not a book that can be recommended to just anyone, but I knew what to expect.I really like stories like this about little towns and big families. I'm looking forward to more, especially with religion not being in your face with the rest of the books.I can usually leave or take a mystery or some action in my book reads. But it was OK here,
Whyyyyy did I do this to myself? My friend noticed I was reading some romance novels featuring small towns and sent me this book. I read the blurb and then got started. Obviously, I should have checked the shelves, because it very obviously says it's a Christian book in the shelves. Nowhere else. By the time I realized that the Bible-thumpers were not solely comic relief, I was too invested. Which is odd to say, because I almost DNF'd it every 15% due to the stupid characters. It was easier for
This was a cute one, one where you have to love the town, it's crazy people and it's charm. I loved how both Clay and Jane were lost, in different ways, but lost none the less. You could tell right away that they needed each other, but it would take a while. Their interactions had me smiling, at times all they could do is snipe at each other, at others they found a safe place for a bit.I loved all the old ladies at the town, how they would but in, especially the matchmaker. She was funny when
