The Awakening Book

I loved this book so much. I wore out my copy (although I still have it at home on my keeper shelf). The story of Hank and Amanda will always touch my heart. I loved the setting of the 1920s which is such a great time period, but so woefully underutilized in romances. Hank was such a cool character, one of my favorite Montgomerys, and I love the whole lot, except for Gavin, may he rot in Hades. Amanda is young and sheltered, living the life her parents want for her, but she really comes into her own when Hank comes to town. I liked the side story about Amanda's fiance and the wild girl in town. I was glad that Jude gave us this secondary romance with the girl that usually doesn't get the happy ending in romance novels. This book is and will always be in my top 100 of all time of favorite books. Check out the story of Amanda and Hank's son, JT in another all time favorite, The Princess.
