Contemp Review: Last Chance Beauty Queen [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Last Chance Beauty Queen" the 3rd book in her Last Chance series by Hope Ramsay.

Product Description

Dear Reader,

Gracious me, my beautiful daughter Rocky sure could use my help. I always knew she wasn't much interested in the local boys - but who'd have thought she'd come home with English royalty?

Trouble is, Hugh wants to buy some of our folks' land. We don't want to sell, but Rocky's job depends on her closing the deal. And though Hugh's obviously smitten, I'm not sure he's right for my Rocky. Oh, he's classy and handsome - and you should've seen the way he judged pies and fixed stock cars at our Watermelon Festival! - but what do we know about him, really? I know I sound like a nervous mother hen, but after forty happy years with my Elbert, all I want is to see my little girl find the same.

Well, time for me to quit chattering and get back to Miss Bray's wet set. Always nice talking to you, and remember: the Cut 'n Curl's got hot rollers, free coffee, and the best gossip in town.

See you real soon,

Ruby Rhodes

About the Author

Hope Ramsay grew up on the North Shore of Long Island, but every summer Momma would pack her off under the care of Aunt Annie to go visiting with relatives in the midlands of South Carolina. Her extended family includes its share of colorful aunts and uncles, as well as cousins by the dozens, who provide the fodder for the characters you'll find in Last Chance, South Carolina. She's a two-time finalist in the Golden Heart and is married to a good ol' Georgia boy who resembles every single one of her heroes. She lives in Fairfax, Virginia, where you can often find her on the back deck, picking on her thirty-five-year-old Martin guitar.

My Review:

Caroline Rhodes aka Rocky is a former Watermelon Beauty Queen and she has tried so hard to forget this time in her past.  She now works for Senator Warren as his aid and has been assigned to try to convince her dad the owner of Golfing For God to sell his land to an English lord Hugh deBracy the Baron of Woolham so he can build a textile factory.

When Rocky comes home she has to deal with a persistent ex-boyfriend Bubba who hasn't gotten over her and Cissy Warren has decided she wants Hugh and has warned Rocky to stay away from him.

4/5
