Customer Reviews

Didn't like the first one, LOVED the second one.

Nell's Cowboy: I didn't really like this one. There were not enough encounters with Nell and Travis, though I did like them and liked the idea of the story. The author just spent way too much time on going over what was in the first four books. That might have been good if I hadn't read them, and especially if I hadn't JUST read them. The writing was well done, just the story of the two main characters was so brief, it was hard to get into it. I did like what she did with the results to the Bitter End Town. Very creative. Lone Star Baby: Now this one was MUCH better. This one really got into the story of the two main characters, not hitting so much on the other characters from the previous stories or over doing it about what happened with Bitter End. The author really developed these two characters relationship. This one made me laugh, often and brought about that "good feeling" about the characters, too. I really like this one. I also like how the story of Bitter End played out. Very cute idea and very creative. Loved many of the ideas and lines the author came up with.

A Hint of Mystery From the Heart of Texas

I just discovered Debbie Macomber as an author when I read her more recent book, "Twenty Wishes". After reading it, I found the earlier books of her'Blossom Street'series and then couldnt find enough of her work to read. I have thoroughly enjoyed all her series and her Heart of Texas series is no exception. The men and women of Promise, Texas are all ordinary people, in the best sense of the word. It is a study in what happens when bad things happen to good people. The running mystery in the series is the 'ghost town', Bitter End. It seems to strike fear in all their hearts, even though the truth of its desolation is buried with their grandparents. The mystery of the deserted town even begins to intrigue the new residents to the town and for all the 'oppressive' feelings of grief and sadness it seems to eminate, the town seems to bring a number of people to a deeper understanding of each other, as well. This is a good book from a very good series.

A Wonderful Experience

This series is wonderful. I can't wait until her next one comes out in September. NICE CLEAN READING!!!!

LOVE THE BOOK

I could not wait for this book to be delivered after reading the first two in the series and I was not disappointed. Debbie Macomber books are easy reading and the characters are so real that you do not want to put it down. The twists she puts in are good but not too "out there". If you have read the first two Hearts of Texas books you should definitely read this one. But if you have not read the other two and just "pick" this one up she will fill in the blanks during the story so you will not be lost as to how these events came to pass. If easy reading is what you are after, this is the book for you and the author as well.

Heart of Texas, Vol. 3

I really enjoy the Heart of Texas books. Finally in Vol. 3, the mystery of the ghost town, Bitter End, is solved. All through Vol. 1 and 2 the mystery of Bitter End continued so it was great to find out what the problem was.
