Heart's Desire


As I am sure you know, I love books with recurring characters.Heart's Desire by Laura Pedersen, is the second book about Hallie Palmer, the college freshman gambler who needs money for her second year of college. Hallie is a gambling wild child, who returns home to her live-in yard person for Bernard and his very strange and delightful mother, Olivia.

The people in her life come to her with all their cares and problems, assuming that Hallie has none, which is so wrong. Her ex-boyfriend is back in town, her gambling problems, her looming tuition bill, her mother is pregnant again, and there is no prospective of love in sight for her.

I laughed, cried and fell deeper in love with Hallie Palmer. You will too.
