This was my first one in the book, so I will have to go back and read the other 2, but these 2 little stories were wonderful in every way. No filthy language, just cozy love stories with a little fluff and regular life.Let me add too that you don't have to read the other two to know what is going on in this book, but it couldn't hurt. Enjoy.
I've been to a few ghost towns out West myself and the images of Bitter End seemed surprisingly familiar. Wade has been so concerned about being a minister that he'd almost forgotten what it was like to be a man - that is, until Amy came to town.
Debbie Macomber is such a writer.In Nell's Cowboy, an author from back East inadvertently lands on Nell Bishop's doorstep. Although Nell grudgingly provides Travis with a room on her Texas dude ranch, she and her two children get more than they bargained for.
The hallmark of every great author is his or her ability to draw the reader into the story, to have the reader identify with the characters so well that it almost feels like these events really happened. Reverend Ward McMillen takes Amy under his wing, not only finding a home and a job for the lovely woman, but a whole lot more, as well.
The fatherless children are starved for attention from a male role model and even Nell herself realizes something important has been missing from her own life since her husband's death. Can a New York city slicker find a home in the wilds of Texas and can Nell open her heart to a special kind of love.Lone Star Baby finds Amy Thornton arriving in town alone, pregnant and desperate.
This heart-warming tale makes the reader smile as Amy and Wade realize the depth of their feelings for each other and the Promise of their future together.Both of these stories feature so many elements of reality that the tales seem to spring from life. Promise, Texas is also a haven to those with the love and soul to treasure life in all of its many facets.
i received this book in great shape. It came in the time it was supposed to.
the one where helping your neighbor is a basic requirement and where the meaning of friendship in good times and bad is ingrained from birth. This third book in the series on small town Texas is another gem. Debbie Macomber writes about Texas like she has lived here for generations. The characters are true to the Texans I have had the privilege to know all my life. The stories portrayed show the real Texas. The issues, problems, characters, and resolutions are all true to the way that small town Texans actually are. Debbie could fit in easily in Texas because, based on these books and her insights, she is already a Texan in her heart.
The two books did not hold my attention equally; while 'Nell's Cowboy' finally revealed the secret of the ghost town, Bitter End, I thought 'Lone Star Baby' was the better romance.
