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.

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author: Caitlyn Crews Date Released : October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett. Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with. You lovers do know how that always ends right? It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it. As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father. Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow. Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner. A marriage without love makes sense right?...

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...
