Synopsis

Third in the popular series about the Bottom Dollar Girls from Cayboo Creek, Dollar Daze finds their love in bloom. Though every rose must have its thorn, it’s up to the Bottom Dollar Girls to follow their hearts. Leading the way is Attalee, soda jerk at the Bottom Dollar Emporium, who’s so hot and heavy with her beau Dooley that the pair seems headed for the altar via Thrill Hill. But Elizabeth is pining for her newlywed days when she felt more like a wife than a mother, while widowed Mavis has been up nights nursing a case of loneliness. Traveling love’s rocky road keeps the Bottom Dollar Girls busy, and these best friends discover the joys and heartbreak of romance though laughter and tears.

Goodreads review by Lelia on December 06, 2015

I usually avoid romance fiction like the plague, mostly the bodice-ripper type or the kind that has woman/girl pining weepily after the hot patootie that happened to smile at her one day. Worse yet is the love triangle or the dreaded "insta-love". However, I'm not entirely immune to the appeal of ro......more
