If Cade takes the case, will he lose his heart? Dare these Ozark Mountain brothers risk their hearts for love?"
One of the things I love about my mom-in-law is that she is one of a small group of people that reads more than I do. Her stash of paperbacks puts my collection to shame and then some. This is handy though since it's like having a personal library with no due dates or late fees. On my most recent visit, I found this book on my nightstand and was thankful for it since I had forgotten my nook.
Arkansas is actually a collection of 4 books with each one focusing on one of the McFadden brothers. I loved that it was Christian Romance so there wasn't anything scandalous going on. It was very Betty Neels-esque but in a more modern world. I also loved that the characters pretty much popped up in all the books so by the time you finish the last one, you have seen the family grow from just the 4 boys to this massive extended family. And while I've seen some people complain about not liking the girls, I'll agree that they can be pretty stupid sometimes. However, if they did have their head on straight, each book would only be like 5 pages long and that's no fun!
I definitely recommend this book. It's not super exciting or anything spectacular, but every now and again, you need what my mom-in-law calls "Brain Dump Books." Totally predictable books that don't take any brain power and can let you just escape into a simpler world. See if you can find it at the library or a used book store :)
