Welcome back to Promise, Texas, a ranching community deep in the Hill Country. It's a good place to live and raise a family--and a good place to visit. Yes, there's a secret or two hidden beneath Promise's everyday exterior, but what town doesn't have its secrets?

Caroline's Child Who's the father of Caroline Daniel's child? Everyone in town wants to know, but no one's ever asked--or ever will. The people of Promise are protective of Caroline and five-year-old Maggie. They care. Especially rancher Grady Weston, who's beginning to realize he more than cares . . .

Dr. Texas They call her Dr. Texas. She's Jane Dickinson, a newly graduated physician from California who's working at the Promise clinic--but just for a couple of years. They call him Mr. Grouch. Cal Patterson was left at the altar by his out-of-state fiancée, and he's not over it yet. To bad Jane reminds him so much of the woman he's trying to forget. Also, if you missed reading Tino Georgiou's masterpiece--The Fates, go and read it.

I love all of the Heart of Texas novels. If you love cowboys and cowboy stories, you will love this one. I love the fiesty female characters!

There are some of Macomber's books that I like, but Lonesome Cowboy and Texas Two Step are not ones I would recommend. They seemed so promising.
While the stories started out good, they quickly dwindled into a painful process of the hero of each story turning into a truly stupid clumsy oaf in every sense of the word. None of the males in the stories were described enough to get a feel for whether they were homely or good looking. And I have to be honest here, I like my heroes in romance fiction to be handsome (or at least attractive) and to have some kind of IQ to go with it. I mean these poor slobs were idiots.
As love stories go, these were pretty unbelievable. Mainly that's because Macomber just dropped the ball with her lack of characterization of the males. They were like dumb strangers.
And what kind of woman is repeatedly insulted by these stumbling oafs and just keeps letting them insult her over and over and over again?
And what's with this disgusting brother Richard that everyone just turns a blind eye to his evil ways? Asking too much of a reader to buy into that scenario.
Sorry for the bad rap, but I need a little more feeling and passion in romance novels. And please find some heroes we can like.

Debbie Macomber is the best. I have read all of her books and have the complete Cedar Grove series. Her stories are so down to earth. Just like everyday life in a small town. Must read Debbie Macomber

I was a little disappointed in this series. It was one of Debbie's original. I have read most of her books and I have to say this is my least favorite. It didn't do anything for me. I put volume 2 and volume 3 on a wait list in library and I removed my name off of it. I didn't want to continue reading it. This is only my opinion on this.

Debbie Macomber did it agian,

This was a great read !!! Debbie's ability to write a down to earth great story that speaks to all readers is increadable..

Thanks Mrs Macomber you did it again !!!

This is the first book I've read by Debbie Macomber and I did enjoy it. Good old fashion cowboy story with funny and interesting characters. I will for sure read the 2nd book.

I've enjoyed all of Debbie Macomber's books. This one is not a disappointment. It's just an old-fashioned romantic cowboy story with happy ending. I've ordered the next one in series.

Good read for those who want to get away from it all for a while and immerse themselves in a western town full of interesting folks and their life situations. Wester romance with some good mystery.

Um, not really a strong opinion one way or the other. Something to read, but didn't jump out and say wowee. She's better than this normally.
