In Shining Whatever (A Three Magic Words Romance) Kindle Edition

Hart Ducaine was the love of Kate Miller’s life, but he hadn’t been interested in a long-term relationship with her fifteen years before. So why should she trust him now? There is no way he will ever be her knight in shining…she can’t remember the word…knight in shining whatever!

A professional bull rider turned rancher, Hart only has eyes for Kate, but she is one sassy piece of baggage—even more so than back when she was a teenager and she’d first caught his eye.

Trust is hard to regain once it’s been broken, and neither of them are willing to take chances with matters of the heart—not anymore. And then Kate’s Cajun grandmother, Maw Maw, and some of her other relatives set a plan into motion to abandon the two on a primitive island in the bayou. No cell phones. No electricity. No running water. And no one to talk to except each other.

Will they figure out what Maw Maw already knows: that fate is drawing them together and they need to learn to trust their hearts?

Kate has been in love with Hart since grade school - or at least she thinks she has. They “dated” for a few weeks before she moved to Louisiana. But 15 years later, they find themselves back in the same area in Texas and sparks fly. You will LOL at some of the things that happen, especially when MawMaw gets involved. Can these two get a second chance at love? Are they willing to trust one another? Fun, entertaining read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love multiples!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020

This is part two of a trilogy which centers on three friend who are reunited after 15 years...and their families and friends. Each can be read as an individual stand-alone, but I started with book 1, and am now reading part three.
And with each line, I rather feel like I could just get into my SUV and drive over to see the gang, go to the Dairy Queen, or walk the ranches with them. All three of the trilogy are replete with wonderful but flawed characters...they all have flaws, as does every human being. How Fancy finds Theron, and how Kate ends up with
Hart, had me alternately laughing hilariously and praying desperately that everything wasn't going to fall apart when I flipped the page! But because these stories are so close to the realities of life, which always has bumps and ruts, the books keep readers on their toes and turning pages quickly. I would highly recommend the series, especially "In Shining Whatever" because it was set partly in the bayous of Louisiana with alot of Creole-tankerous
characters whose machinations on behalf of others kept me in stitches. Do yourself a favor...read all three books!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love everything about this series.
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012

I have always loved Carolyn Brown's stories, and this one is no exceptions. Her characters are always down to earth, everyday people. I think that's what makes the people, and the situations feel so real to me.

The first book in this series they added a sweet little girl to the mix, and she stole my heart from the first moment she was introduced into the storyline. In this one it involves Kate's Cajun relatives. I had the same reaction to her sweet, but very gruff speaking Maw Maw (otherwise known as Kate's grandmother).

This series will make you laugh, cry, and then rejoice with happiness.

BUT.....the thing that warms my heart this most in this series, is the fifteen year close loving relationship shared between these three women. They have known each other since kindergarten and have stayed close friends even through all these years later.. And even when their families had decided to move away to different parts of the world that summer when they were only fifteen years old, they still managed somehow to stay in touch with each other. Now their all back in the same city where they first met and grew up for most of their lives, their bond just seems to get stronger and stronger. They have become so close to one another, that they seem to be able to even read each others minds at times. And even though they completely different personalities, and come from completely different walks in life...somehow they just blend together seamlessly.

In the first book....When Fancy needed help getting over her grandmother's rejection and her death, both Sophie and Kate helped her through it all. And when she was fighting her strong feelings for Theron, they stood by her then, too.

In this book....It's Kate that needed the help & advice from both of her friends, and they were there for her every step of the way.

The next book involves Sophie, and I for one... can't wait until it's released.

Would I recommend this Book? Yes, most definitely.

I cried and cried and cried reading this book. I cannot imagine living someone all those years and not having them in my life. Such a sweet love story!

With this being said.....there were several grammatical mistakes....misspelled words, incorrect character’s name in a sentence which made me go back and reread the previous several sentences to make sure I am not mistaken. These types of mistakes really grate on my nerves .....but I did love the story itself😁

I stopped dead in my tracks and even went back to page 112 to read it again. Since when does the sun set in the east? Sun rises in the east, at least here along the Atlantic coast. Shouldn't it therefore be setting in the west where the stories take place? Whatever!
With all the fighting and arguing going on in all 3 girls' relationships, it will be a miracle if any make it to their 5th anniversaries. The girls will be running to their good friends as soon as one realizes their marriage isn't picture perfect. Seems most couples get along before the wedding, and start fighting afterwards.
That's why it's called Fiction, I guess.

This is about young love growing into mature love. You need the help of witches and spells they create in the bayou. And you better believe that they are real and true. If you do trust them, you will find Whatever. You life will be filled with magic, hard work.. if you are willing. And you will have a big love and great happiness all your life and beyond .. forever. And this book will take you there. I promise. Such a great read during rainy windy afternoons. And there have been lots of those this summer. Enjoy

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointingly predictable!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2022

Audio Version - Having listened to A Forever Thing, which I rated 5*'s, it was inevitable that I continue on with the series. There are three books in total, this was the second. I was sadly disappointed as felt it was just a repeat of the first book. The only real difference being the characters involved. This one also had a very far fetched story line in my opinion. When listening to any fictional novel, I understand that anything goes, but sometimes the author can stretch it a bit too far, which I believe was the case with this book. I think this could have been one book about three friend's, instead of three books about each one individually. I won't be listening to the third book as believe I already know what will transpire. I am disappointed as I initially felt the series had potential and I honestly take no pleasure in not writing a glowing review. If you are a die hard romantic fan then you may enjoy it more than I did.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK story but not great.
Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2023

Full disclosure I love a slow burn and character growth and evolution but also like a bit more spice to my reads. This didn't have much of any of that sadly.

In saying that this story had potential but it was just so out there. Yes she got hurt as a teen... I get that feeling because most of us have had that BUT her expectations of him without actually giving him a chance were so silly and childish. Then all the antics with her family and everything it was just so busy and messy and truthfully he's a Saint for putting up with it all. And the murder story was not rally needed...

This was my first took from this author. I'll likely try again but hopefully next read isn't so messy and frankly silly for ppl in their 30s stating they are grown but acting like they are teens.
