Favorite Quotes:

 

I was unsettled. Like the time I saw my fourth-grade teacher wearing jean shorts at the Piggly Wiggly. How dare someone have a life outside the one they occupied in my head?

I was hit by the overwhelming reality of how fast time was moving. Not just moving but passing me by. It was like I was standing still, and life was blurring around me like a time-lapse camera.

My family always claimed we were from a long line of witchy women. Something about us attracted dangerous men. I suspected it was just my great rack.

I’m so full of sugar, I could sneeze cotton candy,

I would have smacked anybody else that said that to me. And yet… and yet. Wasn’t it interesting that our internal voices were the hardest to ignore?

My Review:

 

While I’d never want to live there, I have always enjoyed my virtual visitations to the uniquely quirky denizens of the oddly enticing Green Valley, Tennessee. They are highly unorthodox, and as amusingly entertaining as a small rural enclave could possibly be. The delightful series of the Scorned Women Society is a prime example of the clever comedic storytelling I’ve come to expect from Smartypants Romance. The smirk-worthy humor has bite, as do the insightfully written storylines and heart-squeezing inner musings. I’ve read and gobbled up each one and am content with the finale and how their saga was wrapped up, although I am more than a bit melancholy in bidding them farewell.
