RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I always enjoy Bethany House publications. The authors are top-notch, as is Stephanie Grace Whitson.

A HILLTOP IN TUSCANY is a wonderful read, albeit melancholy and rather melodramatic. The story is complicated enough to keep you flipping the pages and I know a lot of you mushy-lover ladies out there will cry over it. And, that's the reason I gave it a four-rose read. I'm not over-sentimental. I like action and suspense and a slow-build to romance. A HILLTOP IN TUSCANY is slow and well, mushy. So, read it. You'll like it, you mush-lovers!
