The Mommies Reviews

The latest from USA Today bestselling contemporary romance author Annie Rains: THE GOOD LUCK CAFE, goes on-sale March 14th. Being warm outside with Summer here now is an ideal time of year for you enjoy a sweet small-town romance. That is if you can get a second away from the kids. Which I plan on hiding out on the Balcony this week under a blanket with my favorite beverage as I finish reading THE GOOD LUCK CAFE.

In the meantime, if you like small town America, down home cooking from a Bake Shop and romance and drama then you will love THE GOOD LUCK CAFE which has this and so much more. Including a Thursday night book club, I wish I had the opportunity to join. Because the people in the book club seem like a lot of fun and would make wonderful friends.

If you haven’t had time to read THE GOOD LUCK CAFE and you love romance and controverse with a touch of Politics thrown in, you will want to read this book as soon as possible. The Good Cafe is the perfect gift for your girlfriends as a just because I was thinking of you gift for your. Before you ask wouldn’t I need to purchase all the books in the series. No, this series can be read as standalone although having all of the novels would be a lot more fun.
