MY REVIEW:

A super sweet, fun read. It has a Gone With The Wind theme and a bonus is all the characters names in this story are from GWTW! The sweet romance of the main characters kept me turning the page.  Beautifully written and described so I felt I was there. The author also included a recipe in the back of the book which I’m eager to try. Enjoyable read!

Blogger Note: I LOVE Gone With The Wind! I read my mother’s copy when I was in high school and have watched the movie a few times. I have been after my mother’s copy of the book for years. While waiting for that to happen, I bought a copy for my bookshelf. It’s not my mothers which is well loved (and shows it) but it’ll do for now. I’m not sure of my mother’s version, this one is from 1964. The pages are thinner than what I remember of my mothers.

 

Note: Taste of Tara is a standalone read as well as part of the Magnolias and Moonshine series.
