What Were You Expecting?

Welcome to Harmony is the first book in a new contemporary trilogy by Jodi Thomas. I wouldn't strictly classify it as a romance novel. Though there are several romance threads that flow through it, the book is more about the town of Harmony, Texas and its inhabitants. I adore Thomas' contemporary romances. Her strong characterizations and idyllic small towns draw the reader in and don't let go. While reading, I felt like I was there, in Harmony with Reagan and Noah, Hank and Alex and all the others. First I wanted to move to Twisted Creek, then to Bailey, now to Harmony. If Thomas keeps this up I'll be living in Texas before I know it.
