Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 225 - Lone Star Blues by Delores Fossen, If Tomorrow Comes by Nancy Kress

Lone Star Blues by Delores Fossen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one had a lot more plot twists than usual for a Delores Fossen book. We have two people who were once married and one very interesting child. The question is who is the child's father? We do know who the mother is. Another question - where are the two headed who were once married headed? That is played out for most of the book. Turns out it takes DNA to answer one question. That brings on the answer to the other important question - can they make a go of marriage again.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.


If Tomorrow Comes by Nancy Kress
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This continues to be an OK series. I found the story line to move predictably and slowly. I had a hard time carrying about the characters and what would or would not happen. Like many middle books in a series this solved the first problem and set up the next book in the series. A nice story for fans of Kress but not one that would go on my favorites shelf.

Short and Sweet Book Reviews #120 - Leave the Night On by Laura Trentham, Tomorrow's Kin by Nancy Kress, Indigo Lake by Jodi Thomas

Leave The Night On by Laura Trentham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the characters and setting for Leave the Night On. Sutton Mize and Wyatt Abbott are true to their southern roots. Instead of the right or wrong side of the tracks we have the right and wrong side of the Mississippi River. Sutton lives on the right side, Wyatt on the wrong but they still manage to connect. Sutton finds out a cheating fiancée is a blessing while Wyatt gets the girl of his dreams. Along the way Wyatt encourages Sutton to follow her dream and Sutton helps Wyatt deal with some very difficult family matters. There are three other Abbott brothers who need a HEA so Cottonwood should feel the heat as more Abbott's find romance but not without problems.


Tomorrow's Kin by Nancy Kress
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you read the novella Yesterday's Kin you can skip the first part of this book and start on part two. Part one is the same and the addition starts with part two. I have to say I was very disappointed. I loved the novella but it just went downhill after the aliens left. I kept reading and hoping that I would like the addition but I just found it boring. Spaceships were being built and there was danger but the plot just did not make that much sense. I will continue with book two and hope it is better.


Indigo Lake by Jodi Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hamilton-Collins feud is settled as we meet several new characters in the series. At the same time two of the original characters in the series finally get their HEA. In typical Jodi Thomas fashion a large group of characters fill the pages with danger, tension, and romance. I loved seeing the new characters as I also got to visit with some old friends. A good addition to the Ransom Canyon series. It can stand alone but is more fun if you start at the beginning.
