A Fair to Remember by Stacey Joy Netzel

3.0

This was a free read on my Nook and I read the first book in the series so I was hoping to see a progression from that story. It is written by a different author than the first book in the series.

Yes this book does share scenes with the first book but it does not further Lauren and Caleb story at all.

Tara is at the fair watching her brother dog, a great dane named Sugar. Sugar is stalking a man in a suit. Who comes to a fair dressed in a suit - Westin a reformed gang member now business owner, who has moved his business to Redemption, WI from Denver and his luggage is lost.

Tara's family are exact opposite of her. They are bikers with tattoos - her Mom is even a Tattoo artist. She is a quiet real estate agent. But they are incredibly protective of her. Her sister died 13 years prior and the family are scared a similar situation will happen again - so they want Tara to stay away from Wes. They recognize the tattoo he has as one from a gang.

This story encompasses no more than 48 hours. It is filled with funny antics from Sugar the dog. I didn't feel I really knew either of the main characters well and there was no real character development for her parents or brother. I understand more about the dog than them.

This is the 2nd book in a series of 6 - I do not think I will read the others. I would only read them if they would further the character development of Lauren & Caleb (book 1) or Tara and Wes (book 2) or if I could download them for free
