on which she said The book is "short, sweet, light-hearted and just plain fun."
Vince at Philosophy of Romance said "Alice Audrey’s voice is fresh, feisty, full of surprises and always fun. The author also deals with real people having real problems and she does it in a very insightful way."
Nessa at Chrysalis Stage said "If you like sweet, fast-paced romance with a hot hero and all of the misunderstandings that two people can throw at each other, then you will love this story."
Night Owl Reviews didn't have anything nice to say about it. Hey, you can't win them all.
Brenda Talley of Romance Studio said " I recommend this book to anyone. It was a pleasure to read and I shall look for more of her work in the future. "
By Guta Bauer at Murphy's Library did it twice! Once in English and once in Portuguese. I'm assuming they both say, "Life goes on, choices need to be made and we can never let our past deny us of our future. That’s just some of the things we learn from this story. "

Shelter From the Storm 
There are a lot of barns like this in Montana. Not for us the glossy, red and white painted domicile of cows so common in Wisconsin. Here, it’s mostly weather beaten and often derelict. We can get away with it because it’s so dry so much of the time. Old timber can stand the elements for years and years, merely growing grayer with age. Now, the greatest danger to them is trendy West Coast remodellers who will buy the things, pull them apart, then nail the boards up in the den right over the top of sheet rock. Lately they’ve taken to doing the same thing in the movie star’s vacation cottages that pop up like mushrooms here. I’m not sure if it’s a loss, or gain.

Our barns are also weather-beaten, and sometimes actively being re-claimed by the earth by being covered with kudzu.
I bet they look great on film. Wait. Are we still supposed to call it film when it’s digital?
I love old buildings, the more derelict the better. I would be saddened by the loss of the barns.
Some people look at the barns as eye sores. I rather like them. Mr. Al feels a bit more strongly; actively pointing out every time one gets dismantled.
i like old barns, they have such cool textures…and while i appreciate the reusing of them as decor, i def would miss seeing them…then again if they are un used perhaps it is a good thing…
See, that’s where I go round and round, too.
We do have such shelters for grains storage, and just that. No one’s tearing them down as they’re nothing to shout about not worthy of being renovated or restored.

Used to be that’s the attitude everyone took to these barns and other out buildings. They mostly crumbled until they fell in then got hauled away.
It looks so battered. I hope it can stand the storm
You should see the ones that are leaning. No, wait. I guess they took most of those away. I’ll have to take more pictures next time I see one.
There are a few old and dilapidated barns not too far from me. I’ve always thought them sad, even though they add a sort fo character to the land.
I can see that.
It’s a loss if for no other reason than who is pulling them down and driving your property values up to the point where you won’t be able to afford the taxes. When they fall you have half the lumber necessary to build a new one.
Interesting point. The old barns and new mansions involved tend to be a bit spread out. Enough to put them in different property tax districts.
