This book was exactly what I needed at the time. Overall it is upbeat and entertaining. It doesn’t require much of the listener. It was a welcome distraction during a stressful time. The narration is good, the story is sweet but predictable.

Light entertainment

A well-written, romantic escape during the Coronavirus quarantine. Loved the magical feel of this story! Now, what on Earth did those two elderly sisters put in their coffee? LOL!

Loved it!

This is the type of story I usually avoid, but I enjoyed it - maybe I am in a subdued mood. A 36 year old publication executive on temporary assignment in Texas finds herself at a crossroad, figuratively and literally. Laura stumbles onto an old fashioned setting in the Lone Star Cafe, which sits at a crossroad used to detour around a bridge closure on the highway, at time when she questions her life's direction.

The story revolves around Laura's inner struggles as she faces personal challenges that her obsession with work cannot keep buried. She falls in love, very quickly, with a local man who has a very different background from her own. There is no bad guy chasing her or hot love scenes, but neither is there over dramatization, silly dialog, or meaningless bedroom scenes. This is a simple, straightforward story of nice people doing their best in life.

The writing is sound, which saves the tame plot. The performance is excellent.

Simple, Sweet Story

Nice story that was a pleasure to listen to. The ensemble of characters were relatable and fun. The narrator was good, but seemed a bit unrealistic when trying to do voices for other characters other than Laura. Still, I would recommend it.
The story does have a good life lesson.

36-year-old Heroine leaves a real city for a fictional Texas town. She has one or more siblings with children but she has no children. Her job involves a magazine. She has an ex boyfriend. Hero has a blue collar business. He left town for a while but came back. He won't talk about his tortured past, but everyone in town knows about it. The town has a number of quirky people. There's a café run by one or more senior ladies. One Heroine runs from goats and cows. The other one runs from bats. She tends to postpone her work in order to spend more time with Hero. She gets offered her dream job that would take her away from the small town and Hero. There's barbecue, and a quirky pitmaster. She watches the Cowboy Channel. There's even a conversation about how the lives of both Heroines changed in similar ways.

Laura is younger than former college mate Collie. In both books they’re 36, but in book two, enough time has passed that would make Collie 37 or 38.

I really like the narrator. She has a good singing voice.

Good, but a lot of parallels to the first book.

I just finished Texas Cooking and this story is too similar. Wounded veteran, journalist city girl, and well to say anymore would be a spoiler. The narrator used the same voices and I wished she could do a better Texas drawl. One time she even made Graham sound a bit New Yorker. Anyway I enjoyed the love story in spite of it all

Enjoyable but very similar to book 1

As a standalone book, this is a feel good story ……however, if you read book one of this series you can see the author took the same formula and reworked it, so it’s not quite as charming and there’s a little corny .

A retake on book 1 of this series
