Book Description

Publication Date: July 28, 2009

Two men from the Cowboy State…and the women they love!

Denim and Diamonds

Rancher Chase Brown has always loved Letty Ellison, but nine years ago she left their small Wyoming town, searching for a different kind of life. Now she's come home to Red Springs with her dreams in tatters—and a five-year-old child in tow. She's ready to trade the false glitter of Hollywood for the true happiness of being a rancher's wife. Chase's wife. But is it too late?

The Wyoming Kid

Rancher Lonny Ellison is an ex-rodeo cowboy who's used to the adulation of women. But that's something he doesn't get from Joy Fuller. In fact, they argue constantly. His sister, Letty, says it's because he's interested in Joy…and Lonny figures she's right. Can he convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she likes to bake?

This was my first Debbie Macomber book and I loved it. There are 2 stories in this book but they both relate and coincide with each other. The first part of the book "Denim & Diamonds" was my favorite. "Denim & Diamonds" is the character developer for the next part of the book "The Wyoming Kid". They were both easy reads and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't want to giveaway parts of the book but if you are a romantic you will love this book. I look forward to reading my next Debbie Macomber.

This review is from: Wyoming Brides: Denim and Diamonds\The Wyoming Kid (Mass Market Paperback)

WARNING - SPOILERS-WARNING - SPOILERS-WARNING - SPOILERS-WARNING - SPOILERS

I enjoyed Denim and Diamonds, particularly the character of Cricket, but I have to say that the situation between Chase and Lettie made no sense at all. I get that he was afraid of her leaving him again, but the whole scene at the end with Chase basically telling her that he never said he loved her and then being such a jerk in regards to her leaving, etc., was just weird. It almost felt like the author was trying to fill up space with a strange plot twist. The whole thing about his fear of her leaving was WAY overdone. Marrying her should have been the end of it instead of throwing Chase's fear in there one more time about her leaving him. A lot of the time, especially after they were married, I just wanted to say "Get over it Chase!"

Apparently the art of communication was completely lost on Chase because he feared losing her, but never talked to her about it. At some point, it was like some weird soap opera thing where no one ever talks to one another, they just make assumptions that ruin their relationships.

Still, all that said, I generally love Macomber's work and I would recommend this book, but the reader will need to suspend disbelief in various parts.

This was a very good book. It keeps the reader glued to the book to the end. I can't give Debbie Macomber enough praise.
