On the Square by Brenda Murphy
University Square #1

Dale Miller needs a couple cups of coffee in the morning to feel human so is not a happy camper when she encounters rather rude Mai Li at a too early meeting for a building renovation estimate. It is a rocky start to what might eventually lead to romance for the two.

What I liked:
* Mai: someone who knew what she wanted
* Dale: unlucky in love but with a great family
* That both women were capable, independent, intelligent and caring even if they didn’t always communicate as openly as they could have
* That both women had some life experience under their belts
* The character development of the women as the story progressed
* The security both women had in their sexuality
* Dales sons and father
* That this is a series that will develop as each book is published

What I didn’t like
* Knowing that the bigotry, discrimination and aggression more than one person experienced is not unusual and occurs all too often

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes

Thank you to Ninestar Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
