Overall Thoughts:
This whole series is great and a pleasure to read. I am looking forward to the next in this series. Each story in this series has a life of it’s own, they are witty, funny and with lots of drama. A small town can be nosy, in your face and frustrating but it can also protect you, love you and bring you joy. That’s just what Lucky Harbor is.
