romanticread 's review for:

Take a Chance on Me by Jane Porter
4.0

Is it wrong that my favorite character was Tyler's grandmother?  She's got grit and spunk and I definitely want her to adopt me.  That's not to say that the rest aren't good too, but I dearly love that old lady.

There aren't a lot of surprises here.  It's obvious that Bette is going to stay and that between her and Amanda, he'll have a reason to move.  And Amanda will need to face her history and address past hurts & secrets in order to be able to look to her future.  You know things are going to work out but it is getting there that Porter makes work.  

Wholesome and sweet (with a little drama to keep things hopping), Take a Chance on Me is one of those small town romances where by the end you want to move there and become friends with everyone.  

(This is the first in this series that I've read, but it didn't seem to make a difference so I think it can be read as a stand alone.)
