Summary: wonderful book
Review: i loved this book. I could not put it down. I liked the way they had their relationship. I am fifteen, and when I have a relationship when I am older, I would want it to start like theirs. I wish courtship was not outdated right now. When I read this book I was blessed so much by it. I read many christian love stories this one is one of my favorite. It is such a pure relationship. I would recomend this to anyone.

Summary: I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN.
Review: I loved this book. It had suspense, tragedy, romance, great characters, & best of all, the Rawlings brothers!!!! Yep, they beat all! I still can't stop talking about Slater and Liberty - my friends are probably sick of them!! But anyway, heres the story: Slater Rawlings has just been converted to "believing." well, unexpectedly, he's caugt on the wrong side of the law. Surprisingly, its a SHE that's arresting him. Liberty Drake is Shotgun's(the town they're in) deputy. Well, Slater ends up staying with her brother Griffin, the sheriff, and becomes quite a favorite of the little town. The only thing that interrupts Slater and Liberty's budding romance is whether or not she can give up her badge. This book was really great and I would also reccomend it's sequel, A Texas Sky, &I would also recommend City Girl (even though I haven't read it yet). Read and enjoy!

Summary: lost it's point
Review: I really liked this book and found that it wasn't sexist at all. In fact what bothered me is that the man wimped out at the end in my opinion. He was concerned for her safety and rightly so. The husband is suppose to be the head of the home but if the wife can't be trusted then that isn't a good foundation either. I felt that the female character was in the wrong and should have appologised for not being trust worthy.

Summary: Wonderfully Written
Review: I think that this book is GREAT! Lori Wick is one of the best writers. I don't think that this book is sexist at all. Slater and Liberty have a great relationship between them and the Lord. And that's what matters. I eagerly await her next book.

Rating:
Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: I thought the book was really good. I'm have foundevery one of Lori Wick's books great and appropriate. I really can'tsee how people think that this book is being sexist. And as a clear thinker with stong Christian beliefs, I couldn't find any fault in it. It's a fiction book that tells a great story. I would reccommend this to anyone. Even teenagers.

Summary: Not quite classic Lori Wick
Review: I was a bit disappointed in this offering from one of my favorite authors. The character development is good and they are very likeable, but the thin and predictable plot doesn't hold the character development together. The editing is awkward at times, and there were misprints and misspellings which were distracting. Lori's stand-alone books, like "Pretense", "The Princess" and "Sophie's Heart" are much more satisfying, and this is where she really shines; "Pretense" being one of her best works ever. But when she gets into the romance series genre, her writing is simply another clone of the Jeanette Oke variety. Not that these books are in anyway inferior, simply that they all seem the same after awhile with predictable plots and characters. So this reader will wait for another stand-alone novel from Mrs. Wick.

Summary: Not like the others ...
Review: I'm a huge Lori Wick fan, and while this book was good reading, I was a bit disappointed. I didn't feel that Mrs. Wick gave enough of an explanation as to why Liberty shouldn't be a sheriff. While Slater's reaction may have been true to the day, the fact that Liberty was a sheriff at all did not seem to be, and therefore his reaction seemed sexist instead of gentlemanly Christian. Several things that occured in the novel seemed to be written in solely as plot devices and not completely thought through. I will most likely continue to read this series, and will probably at some point reread this book (as I like to do with all Mrs. Wick's other books), but it'll not be on my list of favorites.

Summary: Made me angry
Review: I've been reading Christian romance for years. While there's been good and bad, this is the first book I've read that actually made me angry. I've read most of Lori Wick's books. I've enjoyed most of them, although I did raise my eyebrows a few times at the way Wick seemed to typically have the male character have an almost father-like control or dominance over the female character (Brandon and Sunny come to mind here, also Alex and Marcail). But it never stopped me from enjoying the book. Wick is a good writer, and usually has good plots. However, I could not get past the glaring sexism in this book. I am not a feminist, and believe firmly that a man should be the head of the household. However, that doesn't mean a women should surrender her individuality or talents or intelligence. What if Liberty had been a nurse? Should she have surrendered her career because she might get sick from her patients? Although I'm not sure Liberty always showed good judgement, Slater was controlling and arrogent. Wick even admits that Liberty has a talent for marksmanship, but refuses to allow her a place to use it, or for Slater to recognize it. In defense of the rest of this series, Dakota and Cash seemed quite a bit more respectful of Darvi and Reagan-after reading this book I fully expected Cash to forbid Reagan to ride her bike! This series on the whole, however, is quite a bit shallower than Wick's usual writing - Texas Sky being the best of the three in my opinion. For anyone as frustrated as I with this book, I recommend as a remedy Dee Henderson's O'Malley series - christian, competent men and women in tough roles, that respect each other and each other's skills.

Summary: What a let-down!
Review: I've loved Lori Wick's books from the first time I became acquainted with them. Although they are not necessarily the highest quality literature, they have "first things first," i.e., God's opinion is always trusted, considered, and honored. They definitely fit the Philippians 4:8 standard. However, sometimes the male-female relationships in some of her books caused me to question whether or not she accurately portrays the husband-wife relationship according to Biblical standards. What has been minor eyebrow-raising in some of her works was downright shocking in this one. Calling it sexism isn't entirely accurate; I saw it more of a parent-child relationship having the all-knowing male telling his love interest what she can and cannot do. I was very excited to--unexpectedly--find this book in the bookstore. I will pass it around to other Lori Wick fans, and I will purchase any sequals. However, I will also continue to discuss this troubling issue--as well as the complimentary ones--with younger friends who choose to read these books.
