This review is from: Deep in the Heart (Crystal Creek, No. 1) (Paperback)

Texas Ranch Owner J. T. McKinney is fifty five years old, but he has the looks and stamina of a thirty-year-old. J.T. had loved his wife until the day that she died and he never thought that he would love like that again. He discovered just how wrong he was when he met Cynthia Page a thirty-five-year-old Boston bank vice president. For months J.T. flew from Texas to Boston every weekend to visit with Cynthia. Finally, J.T. asks Cynthia to come to Texas for an extended visit so that she can visit with his family. J.T. has three grown children and his oldest is only a year younger than Cynthia. The visit is a nightmare for everyone except J.T. who is oblivious to the tension between Cynthia and his children and staff.

I have to admit that I was pretty disappointed with this book. This is the first in the Crystal Creek series and I have already bought all twenty-four books. I hope that the other books are better than this one. For more than half the book I had a hard time trying to see J.T. and Cynthia in a long term relationship. They are two completely opposite people and J.T. is in his fifties and set in his way. I think that if the author had focused more attention on J.T. and Cynthia than the reader may have seen what draws the two of them together besides sex. It was not until close to the end of the book when the author made J.T. looks like a jerk for not believing Cynthia that I actually started to like her a little bit. I guess I just did not feel any chemistry between Cynthia and J.T.. Also all of the secondary characters seemed to play major roles in this story, which was a distraction. I just hope that the rest of the books in the series pay more attention to the main characters. I guess I have to make an exception for this book considering it is the first in the series and the author was obviously trying to introduce the characters that would be in future books.
