This was such a fun read and I had a sense I had read it before but wasn't sure until I went to post my review. One thing for certain, this stood the test of time and refresh! Joe Harris has come back to town and his top priority is his family and he doesn't have time for a relationship but that does not stop Beth Murphy from setting her sights on him. Beth has decided she wants Joe and goes about welcoming him with all her good Southern sweetness and determined she is to get his attention. It was fun watching these two find their way. Joe did not stand a chance! This was full of family, Southern, heat, and heartache but it was definitely one great story. I definitely recommend this one! **Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Awesome read. This is a reissue of a previously published book and the author did a nice job of updating it while maintaining the original story. It's full of humor, fun, and lots of hot sexy times. Beth is strong, sassy, and determined. Once she makes up her mind that she wants Joe he doesn't stand a chance. She doesn't care how many this is a bad idea excuses he has or how much he protests. I love these characters and the quirky town of Petal. Can't wait for more and I definitely recommend this one.
