Lone Star Baby:

This one really got into the story of the two main characters, not hitting so much on the other characters from the previous stories or over doing it about what happened with Bitter End. The author really developed these two characters relationship.

This one made me laugh, often and brought about that "good feeling" about the characters, too. I really like this one.

I also like how the story of Bitter End played out. Very cute idea and very creative. Loved many of the ideas and lines the author came up with.

Nell's Cowboy:

I thought I'd also comment on this one, seeing they put it together with, Lone Star Baby, in Vol 3, Heart of Texas Series.

I didn't really like this one. There were not enough encounters with Nell and Travis, though I did like them and liked the idea of the story. The author just spent way too much time on going over what was in the first four books. That might have been good if I hadn't read them, and especially if I hadn't JUST read them. The writing was well done, just the story of the two main characters was so brief, it was hard to get into it.

I did like what she did with the results to the Bitter End Town. Very creative.

Always save the best for last seems to be the motto for the Sons of Texas series. Wade's character was introduced in the previous books, bu there he finally becomes a three - dimensional character. This is an emotionally charged book -- it brings laughter, tears, and finally a heart-warming end to Bitter End. Unlike many other books with a religious character, Wade's status as a pastor is part of his character and motivations, not a stereotype. Newcomer, Amy is a young woman struggling to find a home for her unborn child and Wade promises to deliver her three miracles - a place to live, a job, and a father for her child. Ms. Macomber delivers a miracle of her own in the final installment of the Sons of Texas. This is definitely a KEEPER.

Anything by McComber is great!!! I never miss one. She is absolutely the best in romance. Love Comes Softly has always been my favoite.

Sweet as cotton candy, and with about as much substance. Great if you want a feel-good book with no plot complications or messy details, but there's no real meat to it.

A logical question would be, "Why would a person who detests the romance genre listen to this audiobook?" To expand my mind?

I wouldn't read a romance, but I found this tape thrown out by a local library, so why not listen?

Things seem so mundane and non-different in Promise, Texas, I really didn't expect much to happen. And it didn't. One positive thing, it is easier to keep track of the characters here than in some other audiobooks.

The reader does a good job with the voices, though Amy's "protector" Dovie tends to sound like an old woman, real old.

Routine happenings here, nothing unusual or even remarkable: for example, Lyle Whitehouse, the so-called cow-hand, approaching Amy with "lust in his heart" (and being what Amy found to be "unmannerly") and then having to fight the upright pastor, Wade (whose heart is, of course, pure). Ever heard or seen that one before? If you haven't, you've missed many an "oater."

In fact, the whole plot, such as it is, reminds me of an old western, but even duller. I doubt that I'll ever have occasion to read anything by Ms. Macomber again, or any Harlequins for that matter. Unless I'm lost on a desert island with only that one book. She pulled my coat on this one, and I think I've learned my lesson. Diximus.
