Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Denise Hunter and Diann Hunt with their new book "Smitten."

“Smitten” is the first book in the Smitten series by these wonderful authors.

The four authors have joined together to bring us four stories about four friends.  These four women try to save the town of Smitten, Vermont by making the town into a romantic destination that plays upon the town's name “Smitten.”  The town’s lumber mill has shut down and many people have lost their jobs.  The friends fear that their town is in danger of becoming like a ghost town.  In order to bring more people to Smitten, Vermont the ladies devise a plan to capitalize on the name Smitten by making the town such that newlyweds and honeymooners, along with skiers and other travelers would want to vacation there.

I loved how the stories flow from first to final, how each woman’s reaction to the difficulties and potential romance kept my interest from the first words to the very end.  I don’t want to tell too much as I prefer not to spoil it for others, but this is definitely a worthy read.  I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!  These four authors have done a wonderful job of creating a masterpiece as each author writes from a different woman's perspective.  I love how each woman shares her own story, yet they are all four joined together to create one unique, humorous and creative book.  Definitely a must read!
