The Manning Sisters by Debbie Macomber

 It looks like I picked up this book way back in October of 2014. Yes, my to-be-read piles are that deep!

  The Manning Sisters was written in 1990 and you can feel it, romance novels of that decade were at their peak of hokum. (Think: Woman Falls in a mud pit, Cowboy slings her over his shoulder, and eloping after 2 weeks and maybe, three dates)
  The Manning Sisters is a two-parter featuring Taylor, the transplanted school teacher who falls in love with a Montana male chauvinist, and her sister Christy, who visits after the inevitable baby is born. Christy meets the local cop during her stay, and it's love at first sight. Next thing you know, she's also thinking about marriage after a two week courtship! Those Seattle sisters move fast!
  Is it cheesey? Yes. But in an Eating-Potato-Chips-During-A-Soap-Opera-Watching-Marathon sort of way. It's good, empty calorie entertainment, and Debbie Macomber never fails to give a fun read.
