Heap of Texas Trouble by Carolyn Brown

Author: Carolyn Brown
Release Date: December 06, 2016
Genre: Romance
Rating:  2 Stars**






It took so long to get to the good part of the story and I almost lost interest. I am loving the family, but I have yet to get to the romance part.  The only hint of a romance is between Alma Grace and Jack, whom are not the main characters.  The blurb on this book is incorrect because romance between Jack and Carlene does not take place till the end of the book.  I was kinda confused by this book because the main plot point is the chili cook off, which does not take place until, you guessed it, the end of the book.  I was expecting to see a romance blossoming, but instead I got a, what felt like, a television show. There is no particular point of view because it follows all of the characters in the family. I am not sure what time period takes place, but the idea of women in this books sounds like the fifties or something.  

The one thing that I do love about this book is the family and their bickering.  The writing was good and I loved the Texas drawl and I do love me a handsome cowboy.  yes..  I really do not have a lot to say because the book was mediocre and I was barely entertained.

This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go t...

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
