Summary: book review
Comment: This book follows in Debbie Macomber's style of simple, engaging romance. It isn't loaded down with too much detail that drags on and on but the way the author describes the elements of the story keeps the reader engaged.

Summary: Not as good as first two volumes
Comment: The first story was okay, and these books are generally a lot of fun to read. The author really cares about her characters, and she is able to make the reader care about them. Despite the fact that the male and female protagonists behave like really immature 12 year olds, the books are a nice read when you need escapism and entertainment and they won't tax your brain much. The plots are always waving away at you, and if you can't figure them out from the first chapter or two, you aren't paying attention. That being said, I really didn't like Lone Star Baby much. I made it half way through before throwing the book across the room. It's a given that the denizens of Promise are an interfering bunch of gossiping but affectionate goody two shoes, but they really pulled out all the stops on this one. I found it totally unbelievable that the good citizens were determined to make a match between the genial, hapless pastor and the unwed mother. It just wouldn't and couldn't happen. Most of her stories read like fairy tales, but this one read like a joke. I found myself disliking the characters a lot when I actually read the story. Before I started, I was amused by the concept, but the execution left a lot to be desired. This could have been much better than it was, but it was poorly written, a real disappointment. Forester once said that for fiction to succeed, it required a willing suspension of disbelief. With all the will in the world I couldn't muster up even a shred of belief in this silly and childish story. With a better writer, or better writing, the story could have succeeded. Instead, it came off as juvenile and tasteless. I enjoy the Cedar Cove stories, and find that the characters, even with all their faults, are more believable than these sweet but clueless frauds. It is a given that Debbie's fans don't expect great literature, but we do expect not to be insulted with silliness at every turn.

Summary: A Hint of Mystery From the Heart of Texas
Comment: I just discovered Debbie Macomber as an author when I read her more recent book, "Twenty Wishes". After reading it, I found the earlier books of her'Blossom Street'series and then couldnt find enough of her work to read. I have thoroughly enjoyed all her series and her Heart of Texas series is no exception. The men and women of Promise, Texas are all ordinary people, in the best sense of the word. It is a study in what happens when bad things happen to good people. The running mystery in the series is the 'ghost town', Bitter End. It seems to strike fear in all their hearts, even though the truth of its desolation is buried with their grandparents. The mystery of the deserted town even begins to intrigue the new residents to the town and for all the 'oppressive' feelings of grief and sadness it seems to eminate, the town seems to bring a number of people to a deeper understanding of each other, as well. This is a good book from a very good series.
