Last Chance Beauty Queen Book Review

I was excited to read the next book in this series right after the second book.  This was the missing puzzle piece in the beginning of this series since I started with the Christmas book which was the fourth in the series.  I was interested in what the beauty queen was going to be in Last Chance Beauty Queen by Hope Ramsay. 

Dear Reader,

Gracious me, my beautiful daughter Rocky sure could use my help. I always knew she wasn't much interested in the local boys - but who'd have thought she'd come home with English royalty?
Trouble is, Hugh wants to buy some of our folks' land. We don't want to sell, but Rocky's job depends on her closing the deal. And though Hugh's obviously smitten, I'm not sure he's right for my Rocky. Oh, he's classy and handsome - and you should've seen the way he judged pies and fixed stock cars at our Watermelon Festival! - but what do we know about him, really? I know I sound like a nervous mother hen, but after forty happy years with my Elbert, all I want is to see my little girl find the same.

Well, time for me to quit chattering and get back to Miss Bray's wet set. Always nice talking to you, and remember: the Cut 'n Curl's got hot rollers, free coffee, and the best gossip in town.

See you real soon,
Ruby Rhodes

Rocky Rhodes, now called Caroline, grew up in the small town of Last Chance and worked to get out with college and a job in politics that is sending her to Washington DC.  She comes home to help out the Senator that she is working for by dealing with a man who wants to buy her family land.  Hugh, is English royalty that is trying to build a factory in the small town of Last Chance because his late business partner bought a parcel of land and he doesn't have the money to develop any other land.  There are many problems that come up with the land including wetlands but the main obstacle is that the mini-golf course Golfing for God is in front of it so there is no street access.  Caroline is trying to close the deal without giving up her father's land and dreams.  Things get even worse when Caroline falls for Hugh.  Then to make matters worse, the Watermelon Festival is starting and Caroline has to ride on the float in her dress from when she was Watermelon Queen.  There are so many funny things that happen in this book but you have to pick it up to find out what happens.  I thought that these books were really interesting and I was super glad to read this new to me author with a whole series of books that I got a chance to catch up on.  I hope that you check them out and enjoy them as much as I have!
