"The characters are all developed in an interesting manner, and all are perfectly real to the reader. They easily show the difference between Americans from the east of the country, and those from the western portion.
Ms. Anton has delivered a very good, and highly readable adventure for adults, and this book is definitely worth a read. As this story is part of a continuing adventure for Alexandra, it is highly recommended that the reader purchase not only this book, but also the following book in order to help Lexie and Melinda solve all the difficulties which life has presented to them."
-Reynold Bowen, author of Altercations

The author provides great detail in the story allowing not only the characters but the setting to come to life making me feel as if I was transported to Texas in a drought. I could easily visualize Lexie's character wallowing in the mud! I really enjoyed the way Lexie's character was portrayed, as a tough no nonsense woman, with a spitfire attitude. The author had me waffling as to whether I liked Cutter or not. One minute I did, but then the author would throw in a twist and have me rethinking what I actually thought about him. There were several secondary characters that kept the story moving along. The inclusion of Lexie's German Shepherd Skip, and the role he played, added another layer to the story for me.

Romance, humor, a bit of suspense along with a twisting plot make this story a good afternoon read. I would caution there is some mild cursing, and sexual content that makes this adult entertainment.
