Rating:  Summary: Worth your time! Review: A great sequel to "The second Coming of Lucy Hatch" I was not disappointed and you won't be either.
Rating:  Summary: INCREDIBLE Review: Delightful and touching. It isn't often I find a book that I can't put down - this is one of those books. It makes you want more when you turn the last page. It reminds you what reading for enjoyment is all about. Absolutely delightful. I agree, I definately need the option for more stars to accurately rate this book!
Rating:  Summary: Love love love this book 5+ stars Review: Excellent and if I dare say better then the first (The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch). I am transported into the story, the setting, and the characters.
I love the characters and even the inmaturity discribed in one review adds to the book. I find myself wishing for a relationship like the one Lucy and Ash have, the passion is something to envy.
Denny reveals a more indepth understanding of Lucy and the characters. Also she is written perfectly as a teenager, one who says things without thinking and changes her mind all the time.
This story keeps your attention and rarely offers time to put it down. I found at the end of the book, I read very slow becuase I did not want to leave the world that Marsha had created.
You will finish the book wanting more . . .
Rating:  Summary: be still my heart, ASH! Review: I fell in love with Moyer's first book, THE SECOND COMING OF LUCY HATCH, and of course had to read this one and get my fill of Ash Farrell again.The story starts with Lucy and Ash living together and let me tell you - the first chapter is the best in the book as far as I'm concerned. Beautiful imagery; Moyer brings words to life with their love for each other. We meet Denise, Ash's 15yr old daughter, who is dropped off by her mother who is on her way to another adventure in Chicago. Denny doesn't want to interupt the love-fest going on but soon settles in and becomes part of the "family". Story weaves a race issue as Denise (Denny) makes friends with Erasmus and the town troublemakers do their damage. This is just a small part of the story and I felt that it was boring; I wanted a story more about Ash and Lucy but it was still worth reading. I see another Ash/Lucy book in Moyer's future and I plan on reading it too.
Rating:  Summary: One of my favorites!! Review: I fell in love with The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch and had no idea this one was a sequel. Filled with heartache and lust, and in the end a great big happy ending. I just hope there's another book to follow this one.
Rating:  Summary: Heartwarming Review: I first read "Second Coming of Lucy Hatch" and loved it. This book was even better! Beautifully written; lyrical at times. Denny is such a typical teenager; her thoughts are very real. Just loved all the characters. A really great story. Hope there is another book. What a great movie this would make. Can just picture Julia Roberts as Lucy and maybe George Clooney as Ash. Read both books!!!!

Rating:  Summary: Review and comments-Last of the Honkey-Tonk Angels Review: I highly recommend Marsha Moyer's latest novel, The Last of the Honky-tonk Angels. Ms Moyer's storytelling flows like an effortless conversation between friends. She has a natural talent for showing how life (and people) are not always what they seem. The story transcends physical settings and becomes timeless. Beautifully crafted, this story is a journey of change, discovery, and personal growth for Lucy, Denny, and Ash. I think that this story is so appealing because many of us know people like Lucy, Ash, and Denny. Because we have all been involved in relationships that change because of misunderstandings or because of circumstances beyond our control, we can identify with these characters and their struggles to cope with change. We can identify with their struggles to express their natural gifts/talents and to grow personally, while trying to find happiness at the same time. During their journey, Lucy, Denny, and Ash learn what it means to love, to be loved, and to be a family. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
Rating:  Summary: Even better than "The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch... Review: I still can't believe that Ms. Moyer was able to write an even better novel than "The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch". I can't wait to read Ms. Moyer's next novel....please tell me that I will hear from Lucy and Ash again and soon?!
Rating:  Summary: Lukewarm Follow-Up to Fabulous Debut Review: I thoroughly enjoyed "The Second Coming of Lucy Hatch." I loved that it was spunky and bittersweet. I really connected with Lucy Hatch and her struggle to move on with her life after the death of a husband she didn't really love truly engaged me. I rallied for her and Ash and was thrilled to see a sequel. But the sequel didn't advance the characters in a way that I found truly enlightening or moving. The first book felt freeing and you finished feeling as though you'd grown with Lucy. The second book tries to focus on too many main character and too many topics. Plus, the Ash I loved from book one wasn't quite so lovable in book two. Honestly, if these two immature adults had one more fight, I was sure that I would have to put it down without finishing it. It's sad to read a novel where the 14 year old girl is the most mature individual involved and that's not saying much. If you loved the first book, you'll probably want to pick this one up just to see where the author took her characters. But don't expect too much. And don't expect a satisfying ending.
