    This is a great book of short stories that answers a lot of questions that everyone had about how the Ramsey Men meet and fall in love with the woman we have met throughout the series. I loved the stories that showed us where there problems first began and how they fell in love. After reading this book I'm really looking forward to reading about the Ramsey woman and the Tesano Men.

    I enjoyed being able to get a backdrop of the beginnings for each couple. But the typos were driving me crazy though. And I took into consideration of the fact that I only paid 2 bucks and change for this edition. Overall it was a good read! Can not wait for the other book to come out in March!!

    Happy Reading Folks!

    I appreciate things like this from the author. There was so much history between some of these couples, a lot if it really dramatic. This was a nice insight to the beginnings/endings as they happened rather than as a flashback. I really enjoyed it!

    Altonya Washington is one of my favorite authors and I have enjoyed all her books. The characters of her series of Ramsey books are well developed and intriguing and I am sure the Tesano series will be great as well. However, what's the deal with the "short" stories for a full story price? I am getting tired of paying exorbitant prices for books with incomplete stories that can be read in about an hour. Ms. Washington please go back to writing the books that made your fans fall in love with your books to begin with.

    I'm such a big fan of Altonya Washington's writing. This is a great read. I like the fact that she wrote this novella. It was the perfect history lessons behind these powerful couples.
