It has romance, texans, and it is written by an incredible writer. This isn't one of my favourite books. Don't get me wrong it still is really good. Check out the previous book for an amazing example of writing.

I picked up my first Lisa Wingate novel on a whim because I found the cover so attractive and was not disappointed. Since then, I have read everything she has written including her most recent "Drenched in Light". I am continually amazed at how she hits the mark every time with her writing. It seems like a straightforward, pleasant and intruging story and then she hits you with these moments of truth that just shine. I love the pearls of wisdom from Grandma Rose (from the "Tending Roses" series) and they are woven so seamlessly into this latest story. I think Lisa Wingate is one of the most underrated writers around ..... you can't go wrong with her books !!! - Holly K. (Top 500 reviewer)

Wingate pens a light and entertaining story of life in a small town with Texas-sized charm. said publishers Weekly. I cannot agree more it is a light-hearted book and it has the best of Texan heritage in it

The first book in an excellent series. This like all of her other books is written beautiful. She knows how to write, and while sometimes there are flaws, she always redemms herself.

USED WITH PERMISSION
Evangelical Christian novelist Wingate introduced readers to the delightfully homespun what-you-see-is-what-you-get town of Daily, Tex., in Talk of the Town. In this sequel about the city's happenings and residents, Wingate expands upon the story line and offers readers more lovingly presented Texas talk, charm and romance. Wounded by the death of her husband, Lauren Eldridge is summoned back to Daily by her daddy, who's gotten himself into a financial pickle. Trying to pay an old debt by risking the ranch, Lauren's father asks his daughter to come home and tame a wild horse before the movie he's invested in starts shooting in Daily. Lauren's first instinct is to run anywhere but home. Still, she braves the emotional journey to help her father, remembering how he supported her after the accident that killed her spouse. What Lauren discovers back home amid familiar faces and places is forgiveness, love and a big, Texas-sized romance. Wingate's text is funny, to be sure, but a predictable story line detracts from what could have been a more poignant tale. (Feb.)

Brilliant | Posted September-19-2013
It is said of this book "Wingate's novels [are] like those of Nicholas Sparks and Richard Paul Evans."
-The Eagle (Bryan-College Station, TX). I couldn't agree more. She has a brilliant touch of genius that only few writers have.

Wow | Posted September-19-2013
Lisa Wingate manages to take a fictional character and mold into a character that is realistic to today. She makes you feel for the characters and she makes you have a bond to them. Must read book !!
