The author was brave to create a strong female character who was not totally white in a book series set in Texas.

The idea that Tara was going to be charged with excessive force based only on the accusation of a kidnapper and violent criminal was too ridiculous for words, especially in Texas.

It was also improbable that Tara would be fired for saving a DEA agent who had been drugged and sexually assaulted. In Dallas, Tara would have been awarded the keys to the city and a big bonus.

While most of this series is entertaining, it seems the female characters are portrayed as rather shallow. Tara's boss Lu (55 plus) is recovering from cancer treatment and oddly more concerned with her beehive hairstyle than enjoying her life after cancer.

Is that a Texas thing? Lu is smart public servant with years of experience and dedication, yet all we learn about Lu is her outdated clothing choices and hairstyle. Sure, it's amusing that she has a distinctive style but surely there is more to Lu.

While Diane Kelly is an amazing writer, this series is in desperate need of a good editor. Tara, CPA and IRS agent, had potential to be a unique and engrossing female lead character, so the constant references to her less than appealing physical qualities was annoying and distracting.

Tara was described as short and flat-chested, but somehow, she acquired a hunky boyfriend. Why the repeated body shaming in a series geared toward woman readers?

I really wanted to like a series in which the main character Poppy is over 60, but evidently the author appears to believe that older women are not that bright. Poppy brags about not knowing how to write a check or balance a check book, as well as pay her bills when her third husband blows all their money before he drops dead of a heart attack. Seriously, this is not the 1950s and most divorced women know that their financial future can't be trusted to the spouse of the year.

While I totally enjoy low key stories without blood and gore, this series is a modern-day fantasy where every difficult situation has a miracle cure. Evidently there is a town somewhere in Florida with no minorities, crime, homelessness or bigotry.

While this series is slightly too sweet and unrealistic, I totally appreciate how Georgia, her sister Lilly and several other over 55 women are portrayed as interesting, productive, ambitious, and vital. In fact, the most engaging characters - excluding animals - are mature but not elderly. Perhaps authors are starting to understand that most people who have the time to read (or listen) regularly are over 50 and not interested in young adult fiction.

Since this is one of my favorite series for many reasons, I was not ready to say goodbye to these characters. I liked how the romance between Nate and Liz was underplayed while her family, the island and their investigations were the center focus.

While sometimes I enjoy a simple story, particularly involving family and animals, this series might be just a tad bit too sweet.

When Lilly barged back into the lives of sister Georgia and her children, she was a witch on wheels. Then she did a complete turnaround in a day or two - if only changing character flaws was that easy.

FYI, each book in this series has no real ending. This third book stopped in the middle of a hurricane, which seemed really weird. And I would not buy this series but free is fine.

For everyone who claims that this series is CLEAN, I find it sad that so many people believe that normal human physical affection is somehow DIRTY. Very popular with the morality police, I guess.

FYI, while I don't find descriptions of graphic sexual situations entertaining or necessary in any book, I am not offended by subtle references to characters who enjoy consensual sex in a healthy relationship.

Since this series revolves around an extended family, there is no great suspense, mystery or violence (so far). It feels like I am listening to a Hallmark movie: slow, comfortable and a good escape from the harsh realities of life.
