Summary: Great Book, will make you laugh
Review: This book is refreshing! It's got a good story line, it's one of the funniest books I've read in a long time and it's romantic without detailed sex. I thought it kept moving and was interesting. There's one part where you want to hit 'Collie' over the head and tell her to stop running from the truth of her feelings, but that's also part of what makes the story interesting. I'm looking forward to reading more of Lisa Wingate's books. I hope she keeps writing for a long time.

Summary: Pretty Good Reading, (although a little maudlin at the end)
Review: This book was a good read for me, but I have two critisisms of it. 1)It portrays people who live in small towns as somehow more noble and caring than people who live in big cities. 2)The lead male character doesn't really come to life within the reader's mind. However, that could be because the book is written in the first person, so we never get to really know True. But we get to know and like Collie, and the book has it's amusing moments. I look forward to reading the next book by Lisa Wingate.

Summary: Texas in the springtime
Review: What a delightful book. Collie Collins discovers another side to life in San Saline, Texas when she arrives to start writing a series of articles on cooking. Previously Collie was a high powered reporter but through a series of events, lost her job, was dumped by her boyfriend and betrayed by people she trusted. So she finds herself in San Saline, a small town in the hill country of Texas, trying to find her way. She meets True, The Tractor Man. As with many things in San Saline, he is not what she expected. In San Saline, she begins to discover things about herself as well as the others in town. This is a heart warming story about taking chances and risks in your life. Will she find out the event in True's past that changed him and brought him back to San Saline? Will she ever return back to her previous life in the fast paced world in D.C.? Does she want to go back to that life, or has she truly found something special in San Saline? The story moves along, is funny, and touching. I think you will enjoy it, and it made me long for a spring day in Texas filled with rolling hills covered in wild flowers....come on and stop for a visit in San Saline...you may not wish to leave anytime soon...
