Discover romance across America with Janet Dailey's classic series featuring a love story set in each of the fifty states.

Ever since her mother's death, Tisha Caldwell's father has treated her like a prisoner. Although she's twenty years old, he expects her to be as chaste as a child, flying into rages whenever she comes home late from a date, or when he suspects she's been kissing some boy. When he sees her arms wrapped around the suave Roarke Madison, Tisha's father decrees they must be wed.

And Roarke is no help at all when he presents her with the most beautiful diamond solitaire engagement ring she's ever seen. Now, in the rough country of the great state of Arkansas, Tisha must balance her need for liberation with the love beginning to grow in her heart.

Not the best.

I adore Janet Dailey but this heroine is the absolute worst. Also the narrator giving a terrible accent to the heroine was more than I could take.

My least favorite book by Janet Dailey

I guess I am spoiled by the Narrators of the Calder Series because this Narrators sometimes sounded like her voice was scrapping her fingernails on a chalkboard. I really struggled to get through this one. Sorry, but I just didn't like the way she spoke. I am a huge Janet Dailey fan. I must have 30-40 of her books in my library, but this one is not one of my favorites.
