Welcome to Last Chance Book Review

In my quest to read all things Christmas, I picked up a bunch of wrapped secret books at the library and one of the books was the Christmas book in this series which I loved so I went back to the beginning to find out what I missed.  I went straight to the library reserve system to get the first three books in this series after I read the Christmas book.  Welcome to Last Chance by Hope Ramsay was the next book that I was going to read in my book pile and I was excited to get started.

Dear Reader,

Yes, our town is way off the beaten path, but strange, wonderful miracles happen a lot around here.

I've owned the Cut 'n' Curl beauty shop for years, and I've seen folks come for a visit, then stay for a lifetime. Take Jane-that pretty firecracker of a girl who just arrived in town. I would swear she's running from something. She came with only five dollars in her pocket but she's worked real hard to make a fresh start. She's turned my son Clay's life upside down without even realizing it.

And thank goodness for that! Ever since Clay left his country western band, he's played everything too safe. He needs to take a chance on Jane. Besides, the more he tries to keep his distance, the more he'll realize that he and Jane are singing the same tune.

But I should quit ramblin' and go check on Millie's permanent wave. Next time you're in Last Chance, be sure to swing by. We've got hot rollers, free coffee, and the best gossip in town.

See you real soon,

Ruby Rhodes

I wasn't disappointed in this first book in the series.  Jane came into town on the 9:30 PM bus from Atlanta where not many people stopped in Last Chance.  She went to the only place that she saw open which was the local bar, Dot's Spot.  She hit on a few men and then was taken to the local motel for a one night stand.  She decided it was a good idea because she didn't have anywhere else to stay and only $5 left to her name.  The one night stand turned into a lot more when she decided to stay and get a job but a hurricane with the same name blew through town at the same time which put off trying to find a place to stay and money to buy food.  Luckily, she knew Clay, her one night stand and he helped her while she tried to figure out the next step but he was mostly working on getting her out of town before everyone in the town knew what happened.  This didn't happen because word spreads fast through this little town.  Find out what happens to Jane after Hurricane Jane blows through town when you pick up this book and I promise you don't be disappointed.  I hope that you check out this book and the rest of the series and enjoy it as much as I have.  I am already on to the second book in the series so stay tuned for a review soon.
