Texas Lucky

Summary: okay
Review: I liked it and I didn't. I thought it started out promising. I guess it's a silly thing that bothered me but bother me it did. In the beginning of the story Tess is portrayed as frail, weak, afraid, skinny. Then once she is left by Curt she becomes a different character. I had a hard time reconciling the early Tess with the Tess who wore her guns backwards, could flip a steer and do all the other stuff that the men did. It just seemed less believable than what I could accept, even for a romance novel.

Summary: A delightful, fun-filled, sensuous read
Review: I loved this book. It was so different from the usual spit and spat romances. The plot was exciting, and I genuinely cared about the characters, laughing with them and crying with them and cheering when they finally found each other again. Don't miss this book. It's a keeper. I can't wait for the next Maggie James book.
