Carny Sullivan grew up in the zany world of a traveling carnival. Quaint and peaceful Serenity, Texas, has given her a home, a life, and a child. Logan Brisco is the smoothest, slickest, handsomest man Serenity, Texas has ever seen. But Carny Sullivan knows a con artist when she sees one---and she's seen plenty, starting with her father. As far as Carny Sullivan can tell, she's the only one in town who has his number. Because from his Italian shoes to his movie-actor smile, Logan has the rest of the town snowed. Carny is determined to reveal Brisco's selfish intentions before his promise to the townspeople for a cut in a giant amusement park sucks Serenity dry. Yet, as much as she hates his winning ways, there is a man behind that suave smile, a man who may win her heart against her will. Shadow in Serenity is a modern-day Music Man, penned by a Christy Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author.
Sounds intriguing, right? Well, it really is! Right away I was swept into the story of Carny and I found her character to be very likable endearing. I also really enjoyed the whole amusement park/carnival theme which I found to be very fresh and unique. I felt like the story moved along nicely and kept me engrossed the entire time (no boring "scan through the pages" bits!). I was actually sad to put this book down when it was done....not that it ended in an unsatisfying way but because I did not want it to be over! This is the first book by Terri Blackstock that I have ever read but I already have plans to pick up one of her other titles. She did a great job reeling me in with Shadow in Serenity and I am her newest fan! Pick up your copy today on Amazon...

I have read her books :) Last Night and Intervention, I believe. I believe I would really enjoy her latest book -- it sounds like another well-written one with a super neat plot line :) (Godsgalnj@gmail.com)
I have not yet read any of her books, but this one might be a good place to start. The idea of something good behind a con artist is an interesting take.
