Lynn's Review
Ever Faithful by Karen Barnett is the third book in the Vintage National Park series and I have read all three. I really enjoyed this for a fun, mindless read. Yes, it is a predictable, somewhat cheesy romance, but it is clean, fun, and has a decent plot.
One of the things I love about these books is the description of the parks they take place in. It makes you feel like you are there visiting. There are three books in this series, but they do not have to be read in order. Each book is set in a different National Park with totally different characters and plots.
I think Ever Faithful is a great book for spring and summer reading.
