They are a melting pot of personalities.<\/p>\n<p>First up is Imma who lost her sister and is dealing with her Mom and Dad being over critical of her.\u00a0 She still lives at home and doesn\u2019t have a job. She finds out that she is pregnant but not sure who the dad is because of a fling with 5 guys she met when a vacation took a minor detour.\u00a0 Imma decides she needs to figure things out on her own. \u00a0She is afraid of what the guys will say and not knowing who the dad is she decides to ghost them.<\/p>\n<p>All the guys are miserable that Im has left them high and dry with no word on why. That is until Wes finds her and confronts her. This was such a great homecoming for the guys and Im.\u00a0 I really would like to know more about all Imma\u2019s men because I fell in love with everyone of them. I do believe Thatcher is my favorite. He was the one that took the longest to come around when Imma returned.<\/p>\n<p>I loved these guys I do wish I could have seen where their relationship began at the cabin. Let\u2019s not forget the anti-love book club ladies.\u00a0 I want to be in their book club and I cannot wait to learn about all of them.\u00a0 I\u2019m telling you these ladies have so much they are hiding from one another.\u00a0 I liked the start of this series and cannot wait for more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children.
