Hiding from the law...., December 16, 2005
ALL ROADS LEAD TO TEXAS by Linda Warren
December 16, 2005
Amazon rating 3.5/5
Reviewed by Marie Hashima Lofton
"Callie Lambert changes her last name to Austin and takes her three young half siblings from New York to the Texas town she was told she was born in. Callie has heard of a special homestead program there, which will make land available to her. What the townspeople don't know is that Callie technically kidnapped her siblings and is most likely wanted by the FBI. When Callie shows up in Homestead, she is assumed to be the children's mother, but in reality Adam, Brit and Mary Beth are her siblings by a different father (now deceased), and are hiding from their abusive stepfather Nigel. Their mother is also dead, and only Callie can protect them.
In Homestead, they encounter people who are as good to them as family, and Callie falls for the sheriff, a cowboy named Wade Montgomery. He senses that Callie is hiding something, but his gut tells him to trust her. Wade is dealing with his own demons, mainly trying to get over the tragic death of his only son." - Complete review at BookLoons - M. Lofton.
I enjoyed this story and was especially caught up with the fact that the children were running away from their step-father, an abusive man that was not after their best interests. Not my favorite book in this series but was still enjoyable nonetheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars
fine romantic thriller, December 15, 2005
This review is from: All Roads Lead to Texas : Home to Loveless County (Harlequin Superromance No. 1314) (Mass Market Paperback)
Callie Lambert fears her abusive stepfather who she assumes killed her mother; however her trepidation is not so much for herself, but for her younger half-brother and two half sisters. Feeling a need to protect them, Callie abducts her siblings and flees New York for her birth town Homestead, Texas using a different identity so as to make sure she cannot be traced. She assumes that law enforcement will ultimately catch up to her vile stepfather.
Callie knows having four young people move into the small town would not allow them to stay in hiding, but she plans to insure nothing would place her in the spotlight of the sheriff's office. However, that is before she met Sheriff Wade Montgomery, who seems to have more than just a passing interest in her and her charges as they are attracted to one another form the first encounter. Still he upholds the law so she dreads what he will do if he learns the truth. Wade realizes she hides a secret that keeps her anxious especially around him, but wants to help her even if it means losing the job he always wanted for not helping her means losing his heart.
The duo enhanced by the antics of her siblings and the townsfolk make for a fine romantic thriller with the suspense coming early and late. The ensemble cast is top rate with the varying individuals having differing personalities. Though the stepdad is mean to the bone with no redeeming quality, fans will appreciate this return Home to Loveless County entry due to a fine plot focusing on the trepidations of Callie cautious distrust of falling in love.

It Takes Courage!, January 23, 2006
This review is from: All Roads Lead to Texas : Home to Loveless County (Harlequin Superromance No. 1314) (Mass Market Paperback)
To be able to take her half brother and sisters across country
and set up a new life in town took a lot of work. But then
when her house is vandalized it become doubly hard. A lot of
people help her to rebuild and support her. There could have
been a tragic ending if Wade had to come to her rescue. What
courage Callie had to do this in her life.
I enjoyed this book in this series. You will too.
