Book 1 in The Yellow Rose Trilogy - a guaranteed series from Thorndike Press

The first meeting between Slater Rawlings and Liberty Drake could hardly be called ideal. As acting deputy of Shotgun, Texas, Liberty is simply enforcing the town laws. But Slater, a former Texas Ranger with a restless spirit, is surprised to find himself on the wrong side of the law - and it's a she who is arresting him. Despite his rocky start in Shotgun, Slater finds himself drawn to the close-knit town, with its strong church family and the fascinating Deputy Drake. As his affection grows, Slater longs to see Liberty turn in her gun and badge. But can she give up her position when so many people depend on her?

I have read many Lori Wick novels, and each one is a treasure in its own. This one, I found, was hard to put down. Liberty was an interesting character, willing to put her life on the line by being the town's only deputy for her brother, the town's sheriff. Slater, an ex-Texas Ranger, came to love Liberty and wanted only her safety. When they clashed in differences and Liberty disobeyed Slater, the unexpected happend, and she got hurt. Liberty needed to be shown who she was, who she didn't realize she was. What happened at that fight showed her who she was, and made her change, and I think it was wonderful when Slater decided to give it another try. Actually, I think he didn't decide, he was left with no choice. His heart wouldn't let him walk away. The book was wonderful, and I am really looking forward to reading the sequel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite classic Lori Wick, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Every Little Thing About You (A Yellow Rose Trilogy #1) (Paperback)

I was a bit disappointed in this offering from one of my favorite authors. The character development is good and they are very likeable, but the thin and predictable plot doesn't hold the character development together. The editing is awkward at times, and there were misprints and misspellings which were distracting. Lori's stand-alone books, like "Pretense", "The Princess" and "Sophie's Heart" are much more satisfying, and this is where she really shines; "Pretense" being one of her best works ever. But when she gets into the romance series genre, her writing is simply another clone of the Jeanette Oke variety. Not that these books are in anyway inferior, simply that they all seem the same after awhile with predictable plots and characters. So this reader will wait for another stand-alone novel from Mrs. Wick.

Mrs.Wick writes great books,but this is one of my favorites.I enjoyed it mostly becouse the main charactor isn't a sweet homey girl who's always pretty and clean.And she isn't always behind a man screaming in a gun fight.She has courage and faith.That's what makes this book so great.
