The Mama's Reviews:

A stripper with a heart of gold (and a cape to match)…

I downloaded this as an audio book from the library. You know I need romance and light fluff when I’m driving or running, and Tami Hoag is on that list of authors where I know the story is going to be predictable but that’s okay, because I also need to pay attention to the road. But this Tami Hoag? It was…not good, you guys. Not good at all. I’ll give you a brief plot synopsis, and then give you my actual thoughts as I listened. […]

No one in the South ever asks if you have crazy people in your family. They just ask what side they’re on.

When I was little, my mother had an avocado green Tupperware bowl. She also had a red one and a harvest gold one, and I’m pretty sure there was a blue one, too. They were different sizes, but they all had lids that had a translucent sort of flower pattern on top, so they were obviously part of a set. The bowl itself was also translucent, and more often than not, the green Tupperware bowl sat on the second shelf of our fridge with bunches […]
