My favorite story by far was McBride's Season of Bounty. I mean, how often do the leads meet when the hero is pilfering merchandise from the heroine's store? The story was cute & held my interest.
Wasn't able to finish Criswell's. It just fell flat. Pity, bc I've enjoyed some of her other stories.
Ireland's was okay. After some of the reviews I'd seen, I was expecting to be blown away. Didn't happen. Leads grumped at each other for a long time, then boom, were in L-O-V-E. Nope. I like the relationships to build.
