The Texan's Touch

Rating:
Summary: Jodie Thomas writes a great western romance
Review: During the final weeks of the Civil War, the Gray Shadows sneak into a Union encampment and kidnap Dr. Adam McLain so that the physician can treat one of their wounded soldiers. Adam quickly realizes that the soldier under his care is actually a female masquerading as a man. In spite of knowing that he will probably be killed by his captives, Adam works on the wounded soldier. The next morning, his patient, Nichole Hayward allows him to return to his unit.

A few months after the war is over, Adam returns to his family's Indiana farm. However, he knows nothing will ever be the same for him. His fiancee, whose family made a bundle during the conflict, has become a wealthy snob, who expects Adam to snub his two beloved brothers. However, Nichole soon arrives and Adam finds himself attracted to his former patient. Adam is so worn out from the horrors of the war that he just may go through the motions of marrying his fiancee as opposed to running away with the woman he loves.

THE TEXAN'S TOUCH is a terrific tale that shows the healing power love grants to assist individuals in recovering from the traumas of war. The lead protagonists are a wonderful duo and the support cast adds much authenticity to the moving novel. The fabulous story line could have been a classic if Adam's fiancee was a friendly, down to earth girl, causing Adam real guilt to deal with if he breaks off from her. Still, the post Civil War romance is a winner and the audience will wait anxiously for Jodie Thomas to relate the tale of Adam's older brother.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!
Review: I love romances, I'm a fan of them. I specially liked this book because the girl was the strong one, the one who could shoot, the one that could ride the horse. I really liked her doing the Gray Shadow part. I really recomend this book to everyone.

Review: If you like historical western romance novels, then you must read this one. I was immediately captivated and tore through the book in essentially one sitting. Excellent character development, great story line, good pace. This book is another one of those "just one more chapter, then I'll go to sleep" reads. Endearing characters you miss after you end the book. Fortunately though, this is the first of three in a series and despite the fact that it is midnight, I will begin "The Texan's Kiss" tonight. I just hope that my copy of "To Wed in Texas" (the 3rd in this series) will arrive in the mail before I finish! I'm glad to have discovered Jodi Thomas and look forward to exploring her other novels.

Summary: Outstanding story of the human side of love and war.
Review: Jodi Thomas does an excellent job of using the conflicts of the Civil War to show the human side of both the men & women who fought it and the commonalities, emtions and sense of getting on with life for those who survived it. There is no good or bad side -- only the human side of life and love.

Review: This book has nothing to recommend it. There is no plot, no character development and no romance. Don't bother with this one!!
