Summary: Excellent
Review: This is my favorite of this series. Trouble just seems to find Darvi where ever she goes, and Dakota is always there to make things right again. An excellent Book!

Summary: Ummm........Not a spell-binder.
Review: This is not as great as I hoped. The plot was confusing and out of focus. I enjoyed Lori's Keningston Chronicles and Rocky Mountain Memories but I am disappointed in her newest series. Ever since "Pretense" she went down on my favourite authors list. Though this book does have great character development, she needs to work on the plot diagram more. The another thing I found confusing was that she goes from one character's point of view to the next and I don't know who's thinking what because she switches back and forth often. This would have been a great book but it needs improvement.

Review: We have been HUGE Lori Wick fans since reading "A Place Called Home." We eagerly anticipated the newest Lori Wick creation, and are disappointed with the outcome of "Texas Sky." The plot was beyond the reach of our imaginations! (And we have large imaginations.) The characters were completely unbelievable ...especially the "bad guys" who are so respectful and thoughtful. Darvi's character was sweet, but somewhat wishy-washy in attitude and actions. Dakota was a lively secondary character in Book 1 - but seems to lose his spark in this book. The intriguing, deep characterizations of "Sophie's Heart" and "Pretense" were missed. The action and romance of the Kenningston Chronicles would have been welcomed. We highly recommend any of Mrs. Wick's other books, and are sure fans will want read this book too...but, be prepared that it is not up to the typically high standard of writing previously released by Lori Wick. To new Lori Wick readers we HIGHLY recommend reading "The Hawk and the Jewel" or "Pretense" or "What Tomorrow Brings" - you will see excellent examples of the talented writing that Lori Wick is typical of. We are keeping our hopes up for the Book 3.

Summary: ONE OF MY FAVS!!!
Review: Whoever didn't give this book a THUMBS UP was crazy. I loved it! I kinda cheated and started on this book before the first one, but it didn't say much about Slater or Liberty so I knew I wasn't in trouble. I would SO recommend this to ANY TEEN GIRL!!! Anyway, Dakota Rawlings has been shot five times. Knowing that the end has come, or thinking it has, he lives and turns is eye toward God, and becomes a good religious Texas Ranger. But, Brace, his boss, doesn't want Dakota back in his Ranger business until he has fully healed, in other words, six months. Dakota gets really bored, and decides to be the guide and escort of Darvi Wingate, Brace's niece. She wants to leave Austin and visit her friend in Stillwater. But, the pretty and sweet Darvi has a knack for followers, or trouble. She gets captured by some men by mistake even! Well, there's always sweet and handsome and protective Dakota, who does absolutely everything he can to keep Darvi saffe. Then they fall in love. This book kept my nose glued between the pages, and so you can imagine how hard it was to set it down for good. read
