Summary: Beautifully Written But Emotionally Flat Story
Review: ...P>Tess Boone, a disillusioned celebrity journalist, returns back to her hometown in the Ozarks to interview her first love Buck Campbell, now a famous (but also disillusioned) country western singer. Tess left Buck to pursue her dreams and please her father who wanted bigger things for his baby girl. In the process she stomped all over Buck's heart. Heartbroken he turned to booze and women. Headed straight for Hell, he was saved by Georgina, an older woman who saw his potential and made him a singing sensation. She molds him into the man the public sees and he marries her even though he'll never love her. When Tess and Buck meet up again (years later) the sparks fly and they realize what empty lives they've been living. In a few short days their love is reborn. Only now there are two big obstacles in their way: Georgina (for starters) and Buck's good-guy persona. Will they sacrifice their careers or their hearts? Will I care when they do? (The answer to that one would be NO) Ms. Garrett has a beautiful way of describing the Ozarks and her vivid imagery breathes life into this familiar story of lost love. Despite her lyrical writing I thought the heroine was self-centered and very difficult to sympathize with. The hero never came alive for me because we mainly see him through the heroine's eyes and learn his feelings via his song lyrics. This did not work for me. I would've enjoyed a hundred or so more pages of the hero's viewpoint. And (finally, you say?) I thought the ending was way too vague and pat.

Summary: Annie Garrett's new novel is super!!!
Review: A romantic novel by Annie Garrett tells the story of two high school sweethearts separated by time and how their love brings them back together years later. Tess and Jamie were the typical high school lovers, inseperable by any means. Jamie thought the world of Tess and vowed they would be together forever. Tess's father, on the other hand, had great dreams of a college education and success for his only child. Against Tess's will, her father sends her off to college and forces her to leave Jamie behind. Broken hearted, Jamie runs away from his foster family and is never heard from again. Ten years later, Tess is a successful celebrity journalist sent back to her native Ozarks to interview the biggest sensation in country music: Buck Campbell, Jamie's stage name. How can Tess face the only man she has ever loved? Would he ever forgive her? Overall "Angel..." is a delight to read. The Ozark setting will strike a familiar bell to those who have visited the Branson area. Also, the size of the novel, only 181 pages, will satisfy those with not a lot of time to read a big novel.

Summary: Beautifully story of true love...I couldn't put it down!!!
Review: I have started reading a number of romance novels in the past several months but none has held my attention the way "Angel" did...I couldn't put it down. In fact, before all was said and done I was so spellbound by the story of Tess and Buck that I read the book three times. This is a very real story of true love, torn apart by the desires of a third party. Tess did what her father wanted her to do, and sacrificed the love of her life in the process. I've seen this book compared to The Bridges of Madison County, but I think this book is miles apart!!

Summary: could not put it down brought me to a place I wanted to stay
Review: I just loved how the author touched on the most human part of true love. It made me go back to my memories of my first and only true love. She knew how to get inside to the readers heart and she knew how to make the reader , physicaly go through the emotions of regret and longing. This book makes you feel!
