Lonestar Homecoming

2.5 stars
While I enjoyed Gracie and Michael and their three kids, the suspense plot was so wildly unlikely that it damaged my enjoyment of the rest of the book. I've heard other folks talk about finding “TSTL” (too stupid to live) characters and Gracie would surely have died early on. Her lies to “avoid problems” (which of course only made the problems much bigger) also really got on my nerves.

The descriptions of the Big Bend area were really well done, and I'll still be reading more in this series (which so far has been about single moms moving to town and getting marriages of convenience to local guys).
