The Book Junkie
Reads . . . Review of . . . LONE STAR LADY (Texas Hearts, #8) . . .
Sweet
and endearing read that makes you want for a little bit more. Life’s
circumstances and the call of self-doubt had changed the life of one Texas
counselor, Teresa. She leaves home to find some understanding in the life that
had been handed to her. Lost, confused, and pulled to the life changing events
of another. She begins to have her world change yet again. Leaving her
questioning whether or not she can do it again and make a difference.
There was tragedy, pain, sorrow, self-doubt, bundled
with some drama and one man that would love her no matter what. Teresa and
Dennis had what was needed to make a lasting relationship. The question was if
Teresa would give it that chance. Her past kept her on a short leash. Finding
what held her back was worrying but led to the next page being turned.
Beautiful book with a story that will tug at
your emotions and get you involved. Thank you, Lisa Mondello. Clean, sweet romance.

Taos, New Mexico wasn't far enough from home
for Theresa Morales to run to. But this Texas girl didn't think there was
anything that could wipe away the pain of her mistakes, even in the arms of Dr.
Dennis Harrington the local doctor at the Taos ski resort where she sought
refuge.
But the past quickly caught up to her when a
local kid, Dennis's nephew, becomes traumatized by a fatal New Year's Eve
accident that has left him feeling responsible. Dennis couldn't deny he was
immediately taken by Theresa the moment they'd met. But the accident that
pulled him away from the New Year's Eve gala where he'd danced with her and
held her close, had change things for all of them.
Now he's desperate for Theresa to help for
his nephew, who is so fragile he fears the worst. The sadness Dennis sees in
Theresa's brown eyes tells him she's running from something that happened in
Texas. Something she can't face.
When the past comes back and Theresa heals
enough to return to Texas, will it leave both of them brokenhearted?

“I didn’t
know who else to go to. I really need your help.”
Teresa
Morales listened to Dr. Dennis Harrington’s words as she sat curled up on the
soft beige sofa in the lodge at the Taos Falls Mountain Ski Resort. The fire in
the huge granite fireplace in the center of the room was burning hot—almost too
hot for her comfort. Or maybe that was just her anxiety kicking in. This was
supposed to be her vacation. No one was supposed to need her help here.
She
bookmarked the page in the book she had been reading before Dennis’s abrupt
arrival and closed it, setting it aside on the end table. With a swift motion,
she untangled one long leg out from underneath her and brusquely hit her bare
feet to the wide pine floor with a dull thud. If this was his idea of a joke,
she wasn’t laughing.
“Dennis,
I’m just a tourist here. What help could I possibly give you?”
“Last
night...” His voice trailed off. His face looked stricken, and Teresa knew he
wasn’t talking about the New Year’s Eve party they’d both attended—or the dance
they’d shared. No, he was referring to what had happened afterward—the reason
behind the beeper call that had pulled him out of her arms and away from the
party after their dance. The horrible car crash on the bridge just a few
hundred yards from the ski resort had been the only topic of conversation
throughout Taos Falls today.
“I’m
not sure you understand how severe the accident that took place last night
really was.”

Favorite Couples of
the Last 200 Years by Lisa Mondello
I was asked to write a blog post about my
favorite couples of the last 200 years and I immediately went, “Whoa! This is too hard!” Because it is! How do you pick?
There have been so many people in history and
in romance novels/movies that it makes it almost impossible to sift through
them and choose one, or even two! I
mean, are we talking famous outlaws like Bonnie and Clyde? Rock-n-rollers like John and Yoko? Or couples whose love has endured despite
crisis like Christopher and Dana Reeves?
As a romance author, I will also be most
impressed by an enduring love. I love
seeing couples that have been together for ages and are still playful. I remember seeing a news clip of President
Bush Sr. and Barbara Bush and Barbara wearing her big pearls playfully kicking
George in the behind. It was cute and
playful and they’ve been together forever.
There are so many famous couples who have been together for ages.
If we’re talking movies, then I have to go
with Captain and Maria Von Trap. The
Sound of Music is one of my all time favorite movies. (This is coming from a
huge Star Wars fan so this says a lot!)
The Sound of Music had everything.
Family. Music. Comedy. Suspense.
And romance. Oh, the romance! And any woman who would take on a brood of
kids and then walk pregnant over the Austrian mountains for freedom is my hero.
And since I love Christmas stories I guess I
should include George and Mary Bailey. I
loved George because he had a dream.
Even though life got in the way of that dream, he made a new life and
did right by the people in his life.
Mary was the strong woman by his side who loved him and their family.
There are so very many more and they are my
favorites too for so many reasons. How
do you pick? I know I can’t!
