I really enjoyed reading BACHELOR'S PUZZLE by Judith Pella. I had read her DAUGHTER'S OF FORTUNE series, and looked forward to something new by this author.Her characters are delightful, especially the spunkiness of Maggie.I didn’t know how she was going to make us fall for a character that was so obviously deceitful, but you soon find yourself hoping Zack will find a way to be truthful and still be able to stay in Maintown.A great summer read. ♥
