A historical cowboy/ranch novel with great characters, an unscrupulous banker, gossip, and danger in the hills. The story is very enjoyable and the romance delightful. I look forward to more of Ms Adams' books.

Vera Stein is Fine by Julie Murphy

 

This is a great book, filled with the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the characters. The cast of people is outstanding-Vera, a woman in need of a life change and a waking up, Eli, long in love with Vera and never feeling enough when compared to Brody, an absolute user of Vera. There are a group of senior citizens, former Hollywood people with their problems that add to the scenes of the story. Throw in several hilarious lines and enjoy the humor amid the craziness.
