Here Comes Trouble

Ms. Carmichael has come through again with her amazing ability to entertain her readers and charm the socks off them. With fun, zany characters and a story that will hold anyone's interest, Here Comes Trouble holds a place of honor on my shelf of "keepers."

I was in the need of a few giggles, so the title intrigued me. And I got more than my money's worth. This is a witty book with enough special touches to keep you turning pages and laughing along with the antics of Trouble. You say what is Trouble? Are they IN trouble? Do they CAUSE Trouble? No, they ARE Trouble...to be more exact...T.R.O.U.B.L.E. - with the periods! The Readers' Organisation Uniting Bookloving Littlemouth Elites - the Littlemouth not being a characteristic, but the town - Littlemouth, Kansas! And they spell trouble for Stella Goody and her old childhood Quin. See Stella's mum, Prissy, and Quin's mum, Debby, decide it would be great if Stella and Quin got married. Never give a thought they are exact opposites. Quin is a world travelling magazine investigative reporter, while Stella is small town teacher. Oh, yeah, match made in heaven!! But where mothers get their minds set on something, far be it from the children to stand in their way!The characters are very real, down to earth, touching, and leaving you feeling good all over. I presume - I hope - the ladies of TROUBLE will ride again...and I will be first on pre- order! Definitely a keeper!

Ms Carmichael has written a wonderful story of the small town of Littlemouth, KS and the group of women who run the town's volunteer and civic organizations and are matchmakers, too. They call themselves TROUBLE -- The Readers' Organization Uniting Bookloving Littlemouth Elites. They have decided that Stella & Quin are going to marry. Stella Goody, who's mother Prissy is one of the 5 ladies of TROUBLE along with Debby, another of the 5 who happens to be Quin's mother, are sure they can get these 2 together. Quin's a magazine investigative reporter and has traveled the world but Stella, a high school biology teacher, is a homebody and doesn't want to leave her wonderful little town. She & Quin were childhood best friends but as they grew older they grew apart. Their 10 year high school reunion is just weeks off and Quin has come home to recuperate from his last death defying story. It's so much fun to read of Quin's discovery of his love for Stella and Stella to bloom from that love and watch the 5 ladies of TROUBLE try their best to push the 2 together. Oh yes for the animal lover in us Quin & Stella rescue the hellhound *Tramp*! I'm hoping there are going to be many more stories of the ladies of TROUBLE. A great feel-good book!
