My Review:

The fourth and final in the Parker series and I am sorry to see it end.  I am not a fan of angst and the main focus of this volume was quite angsty, but the sassy humor of the rest of the family, and of course the steamy love scenes, more than made up for the discomfort and conflict.  I have grown to adore this family and Leigh Ann Lundsford.  I imagine she is quite the firecracker herself, and I would love to just hang with her and drink wine.  Her writing is witty, clever, fast paced, emotional, moving, steamy, familiar, irreverent, and informal.  And I loved reading it all, despite the angst ;)  I think she should start in on the next generation of this riotous clan and just keep on going.
