Another great read by Kantra

Virginia Kantra is a master at creating characters. In Carolina Man, she gives us characters we're rooting for, laughing with, and even shedding a tear for. The reader will be hooked right away by Luke Fletcher's strong, stoic personality and will care deeply by Kate Dolan's fierce need to be independent, but loved. But it's all the characters in her books that have us coming back for more. The entire Fletcher family is the friends we wish we lived next door to or maybe even wish were in our own family.
