Customer Reviews

Masterful!

Gail Storey is so skilled at blending wit, social commentary, and personal insight that you will find yourself completely absorbed and entertained by this novel. Time and time again I was amused and intrigued by her descriptions of Texas social life -- but the novel is so much more than that, and you should be prepared to question many of your assumptions about modern relationships. I'm very much looking forward to reading more of her work!

Balance, Love and Peace

Gail tells a wonderful story full of balance,love and peace between two families of very different lifestyles. A book you will not want to put down!!!!

Welcome to modern Texas

Gail Donohoe Storey has done a perfect job of describing the life of a yankee transplanted into the heart of Texas. Her eye for detail about the unique Texas class distinctions is dead-on. Any Texan, former Texan or wanna-be-Texan will love the description of the debutante ball. And any book that includes a scene about Chuy's margaritas is going to get five stars from me. Obviously, the setting was my favorite part of this charming story of love and family. By and large the characters were well-drawn, and the plot was entertaining. The title has nothing to do with the book - just a cutesy phrase unwisely appended to an otherwise entertaining read.

Another exciting trip with Colleen

Gail Storey's Colleen Sweeney is on another tirp in the cultural wilds of Houston and Ft. Worhth. Her off-the-wall incisive observations on the very essence of human feelings and instincts tempered with her original and very funny voice and style make for a book you do not want to miss.

Very funny,entertaining,90's relationship story.Laugh aloud.

Ms.Storey has created unforgettable characters in the very contemporary relationship of Colleen and Gabriel. The family of origin dramas, the stepmother crisis', and Colleen's attempt to explain to her Yankee boyfriend how Texas won The War, all add up to a hilarious and touching page turner. Read Storey's first book, "The Lord's Motel" for further adventures of her quirky characters
