review 1: It took me more than ten chapters to actually get into this book. I usually just quit reading at three if I am not interested, but I had the second book at the time as well so I figured I might as well. First off; there was a lot of emphasis on ettiquette. Yet, in the end, nobody seemed to obey it. I get that we're in Texas here, & things are a little bit looser but not all ettiquette is thrown out the window. Especially when *SPOILER ALERT* somebody kissed a certain somebody & got way too in-their-space-y. I didn't like it. I liked it when Deborah wasn't going to let that punk in that alley beat her & Lizzie up. I also thought it was hilarious when she accidentally punched Jake. (Sorry, Jake. You gotta admit, it was pretty funny.) In that area, by all means, I don't mind ... morethe breech of ettiquette. Why sit there & let you & your friend getbeat up, murdered, etc. & scream like a wuss when you could be defending yourself? Right? ;)& Jake.. *sigh* You were nice at first but after a while, you got on my nerves. & I know, it was heart-breaking whenever so-and-so didn't accept your love. But you did kinda butt in a proposal so... *shrug*Christopher had me worried there for a bit. So in the end... I rate this book three stars. 1 because there was way too many mentions of delicious food that I could not eat. :P2. Because Deborah went into ninja mode once that creeper got in their space.3. Because she finally got to be with *not mentioning his name*Why I subtracted two stars:Way too much innuendo for a book in the era it was in. I didn't appreciate the mental picture of a make-out session.
review 2: I thought this book was very simple yet pleasant book at the same time. Tracie Peterson seems to bring alive the characters in this book in an ever so subtle manner, which makes it all the more realistic. I personally enjoy historical fiction a lot, and this book taking place in the late 1800's in Texas made it quite easy for me to be a "part of the story". I love how the author puts in Christian relevance in this book, too, and how the characters are strong in their faith with God. However, this book wasn't suspenseful or full of mystery; it also lacked a bit in imagery or strong liveliness. Regardless, I would rate this a 4/5 because of the morals and principals of this story. Plus, the characters were so sweet, too! To be honest i kinda liked teh cowboy more than the doctor.... but that's just me. less
