As a child I didn't enjoy reading, looked at it as a punishment. But as an adult I LOVE to read. Its my quiet time, my me time :) I picked out one of these books just by the cover and loved it from the first page :) I then proceeded to purchase many Barbara Freethy books. So far I haven't found one I haven't loved :) - The only negative I would say is the spelling and grammar mistakes - I am by far not perfect just surprises me these errors would be happening. I figured with these books coming from an editor or a publishing company they would find all the mistakes? Would not bothering mentioning it if it wasn't for the fact of it not being one error in one book it was closer to 20 errors in one book?? And it continues basically in every book I've read by B Freethy. Again, I'm not perfect. Just saying. But please keep writing the stories have been amazing - once I start I can't put them down. :)
