Cute Political Tale!

Book four, KISS ME, KATIE in the Americana series is an entertaining story of one woman entering the early twentieth century political arena and trying to balance her personal goals with love. It's a good story; however, it's my least favorite in the series. Although each one of the four books in the series: 1. WHERE THE HEART IS 2. FOREVER, ROSE 3. REMEMBER WHEN 4. KISS ME, KATIE can stand alone, it's my recommendation you read the books in order. Many of Homestead, Idaho's secondary characters are first and thoroughly described in book one and are carried through storylines in FOREVER ROSE, REMEMBER WHEN and KISS ME, KATIE. Some became new main characters and of course, it's always a treat to revisit the ones we grew to love.

Funny & Romantic - Read series in order.

The Americana series is about a town called Homestead, Idaho. The creation of the town beginning with just few families in small farm houses, one main street and only few stores to it's booming times with railroads and big hotels. I have only read three of the series but so far, it makes me feel like I am in the town itselft. There are many characters aside from the two primary couples. It contains love stories as well as family and neighborly love scenes. People helping one another is heart warming. Like every small town, everyone knows everybody's business and gossips cannot be avoided. Though I find that flaw amusing in many ways. My favorite aside from the romance story is that each book contains many updates of the characters from the previous book. I also enjoy reading books about children and their growing up years especially if they become the couple or the main characters in the next book. It is like keeping track of a mini series in T.V.. This is what makes the series so interesting from the beginning to the end.This is the last book of the Americana Series. It's the story of Benjamin Rafferty (son of Michael & Rose in book 2 "Forever, Rose") and Katie Jones (daughter of Lark & Yancy in book 2 "Forever, Rose"). After reading the book synopsis, I was doubtful as to whether I will enjoy this book or not. I thought this book would somehow be a bit boring or too serious considering Katie's involvement in suffrage movement & her firm belief of the woman's rights. I hate to waste my entire time reading about the woman's rights in the the early 1900's. However, I made myself read it because it was part of the Americana Series, which I have started, and "Forever, Rose" is my favorite of all the series. I was excited to read updates of Rose & Lark as well as the rest of the people in Homestead, Idaho. I am glad I wasn't disappointed. As it turned out, the book was very interesting. Robin Lee Hatcher blended the facts with lots of romance & humor. I am happy to say that there was no dull moment. The heart warming love story of Katie & Ben wasn't overpowered by the facts or stories of the suffrage movement either. Everything was just blended perfectly!Since the... Editorial Reviews pretty much cover the basics or the summary of this book, there is no need for me to carry on... However, here's the series in sequence: 1st: WHERE THE HEART IS ------> 2nd: FOREVER,ROSE --------> 3rd: REMEMBER WHEN ------------> 4th: Kiss me, Katie. <p>If you started the series, which I highly recommend... finish it with "Kiss Me, Katie". It's a wonderful end to the Americana Series.
