Santa’s Secret is out!

This is the end of the three-book series, with Frankie and her gang ending up in Italy over the holidays. I enjoyed the description of traditional Italian holidays. I am sure some things were missing, but it was an easy read and fun, like the first two.

Love these women,!

Great fun, lovely friends. Would love to partake in their shenanigans! Great narrator. She has such a mastery of accents. Brava!
