Nell's Cowboy

Yes! This book is a winner! Romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense. I liked all of the series so far, but this was the best!

There is a glaring error, however. Matthew 28:46 was quoted, but the correct passage is Matthew 27:46.

Not as good as first two volumes

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.

As always a great love story...

Those of us who read - and keep reading - Debbie Macomber novels usually know from the beginning how they will end.

It's the twists and turns along the way and the way she makes us feel we know these people that keeps us reading.

On now to the next book in the series!

Heart of Texas Volume 3
