March Madness (A Year In Paradise Book 3)

Lori and Joan are trying to get pregnant with IVF. They have had bad luck with their first two tries but have big hopes for the third. Trying to conceive proves to be stressful for both women. Lori and Joan both come from troubled homes and Lori is worried about her parenting skill. It’s a nice story but I don’t know why the author makes the people from this small town talk like proper English is just a suggestion.I liked this third book better than the second and as much as the first. I’m invested now and can’t wait for April’s book.

I had a hard time with how they spoke, it make them sound like ignorant small town hicks, granted some people do talk like that but it is annoying to read.Eventually I started filling in the correct words as I read. I would go crazy listening to it.This book was ok otherwise.

Loved this next story in the A Year In Paradise series. So deeply heartfelt and will written. The love between the two women is palpable. Totally enjoyed it.

“One of the good things was that it was worth being loyal to a good person. Making them happy. Sticking up for them. Joan was a good person. She deserved all the humble happiness she asked for.” “Lorri was trapped between her hypothetical children bringing her contentment, and wondering how she was gonna screw them up like her own parents did her in like some psychology project gone wrong.” “She understood people she loved being mad at her. They don’t even need a reason. I just get it. Because I’m the person you get mad at, and then I get mad at everyone else.”+ • + • + • +Although not as amazing as the first book was, this book was still enjoyable— even if its mostly due to the subject matter moreso than its delivery or success.

This book was an awesome read. Two women from different yet like backgrounds wanting children in their life. The fear of not being able to be a good parent that led to some not major but still serious problems in their life. Quite an interesting topic and one I enjoyed to the fullest.

March Madness is a touching story about the struggles of IVF treatment when it is unsuccessful. It forces Joan and Lorri to look at their upbringing while exposing some insecurities about becoming parents. This is a story of how two women, through trials and tribulations, look back on the reasons why the fell in love with one another and use that to reconnect to one another. It's also about how the people of Paradise can come to aid of others in their own way.

I loved this book. I liked how Lorrie finally opened up to her partner Joan and about what she was going thru. I really do hope they get what they want.

Hildred has done it again! Made me fall in love with 2 wonderful ladies and the wonderful little community of Paradise even more. I feel like I have just made new friends with Joan and Lorri. It was so good to see how Lorri matured over the course of these pages. Love makes you want things you never really knew for sure that you wanted. The solid relationship of these 2 ladies was a joy to read. I am really looking forward to the next novella in the series and sure hope we find out how things turned out for Joan. Thank you, Hildred, for another great addition to this amazing series. I highly recommend all that has been written so far.
