   I love these books! I inherited them from my Grandmother after she died, and I have enjoyed them so much! I appreciate that they are wholesome love stories with no bad language, or sexual innuendo (or worse). I will keep these and reread them and then pass them on to my daughter when I go to be with the Lord!
