Donna Vesey seems to be courted by every single man in town. Hollywood times has her engaged to one of their movie stars, the reporter fancies himself in love with her, as well as does several other men. But Donna seems oblivious to most of the attention as she struggles to be a deputy to the best of her ability. It soon becomes apparent to everyone that Donna has a “twin”. But who is this double, and why is she pretending to be Donna?

Jack and Goldie Dipple have separated, but Jack wants to get back together. He’s going for counseling at the local church, and Goldie agrees to go with him to a remote cabin, when she learns that his mistress is pregnant. Goldie agrees to go, but only to be mean to Jack. Instead an avalanche foils her plans, and she and Jack find themselves stranded…

The Sheriff and his highschool bride, Evie, are planning their wedding, but the Sheriff’s ex-wife has returned, and she has more than a few surprises up her sleeves. Does she plan to break the Sheriff and Evie up again?

THE POTLUCK CLUB TAKES THE CAKE is the final book in the Potluck Club series. I couldn’t wait to see what the ladies of the club and the nosy reporter following them were up to. Once I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down.

The characters are extremely well developed, and the reader quickly grows to care about each one and their different circumstances they are involved with. Through it all the ladies grow as friends and as people, as they are forced to rely on God and each other. Delicious sounding recipes are included at the end of the book as well as directions for hosting a Christmas tea. $12.99. 376 pages.
