STUCK IN THE MIDDLE   By  Virginia Smith
                                    
Review #22
Main Characters: Joan Sanderson, sisters, Allie and Tori, Dr. Ken Fletcher
This is Book 1 of the 3-book “Sister-to-Sister” series written by Smith.

As the title suggests, Joan is the middle daughter and feels dwarfed by her older sister's happy family and her younger sister's beauty and success while she manages a furniture store and lives at home with her mother and grandmother.

She struggles with feeling abandoned by her father and angry that her mother forced him to leave when she was young. She tries hard to keep peace with her mother and to take care of her elderly grandmother to prevent her from being sent to an
assisted living home...by her mother!

AND…Joan has been dumped by her long-time boyfriend (now known as Roger the Rat) and can't quite figure out what to do with her life. Then a single doctor, who is terribly good-looking and very serious about his faith, moves in next door. Dr. Ken Fletcher sparks her interest and the feeling seems to be mutual until younger sister, Tori, begins her relentless flirting routine.
*******************************
I haven’t been a fan of romance novels for 25 years now, but I found this one very well written, funny in places, with an interesting story line… a “couldn’t put it down” sort of book. It is a fun story of romance, family, and faith, with a picture of sibling rivalry that will keep you engaged and smiling.

Age Before Beauty is Book 2 of the “Sister-to-Sister” series.

Third Time's a Charm, the third book in this series was just recently released. I found it on Amazon.com and in the Public Library!

NOTE: Virginia Smith also writes inspirational, suspense, romance novels.
I like these too! Check them out.
