Review: From the back...
It was love at first sight when Lisa Croft arrived in Crystal Creek. Cynthia, Virginia, and Lettie Mae figured they'd been blessed with the best mother's helper in the state of Texas. And Tony Rodriguez, the new veterinary assistant, was instantly smitten! J.T. alone knew the terrors of Lisa's past-a past that threatened the happiness and security of those he held dear. He foresaw Lisa's fate, and he aimed to meet it head-on.

My Opinion..
I am not exactly sure why the back of the book makes it seem like the story is about Lisa and Tony because it's really not. This is yet another story of Cynthia and J.T.. In every book that has Cynthia as the main character, she has some sort of life altering problem with J.T. In this book Cynthia feels that she is `losing herself' and that J.T. does not treat her like a full partner in their marriage. Lisa is a focus at the beginning of the book because she is in trouble and J.T. rides to her rescue. Later Lisa comes to the McKinney ranch to help with Cynthia and J.T.'s daughter. Lisa runs into Tony three or four times and they exchange only a handful of words each time. I thought that there was a lot of potential for a good story there, but the author decided to concentrate on J.T and Cynthia. Besides dealing with the McKinney marriage problems in this book you also get pimps, prostitutes, UFO's, and a heavy dose of women's lib. I was disappointed with Cynthia's whining and J.T feeling like dirt, not to mention Lisa and Tony's story getting tossed into the background. I'm sorry but I don't think that this was such a great addition to the Crystal Creek series.
