Easy on the Heart

I Love anything Jodi Thomas does. So I'm on the lookout for anything she writes. Easy on the Heart was a teaser of her workes. Write on Jodi!!!!!

I realize that it has been mentioned by another reviewer but I don't think it can be stated too often. THIS IS A REPRINT OF A SHORT STORY. It appeared in the anthology HOW TO LASSO A COWBOY which also includes "Tombstone Tess" by Emily Carmichael; "Finding Home" by Maureen McKade; "Coming Home" by Patricia Potter. I thoroughly enjoyed all four of these stories with the Emily Carmichael offering being the weakest one for me. When taken in the context of a short story, this is a very good read. I failed to make a thorough search through my notes on Jodi Thomas and so bought this in its present form as a single story. Now I have two copies of this story. While it is good, it is not that good! Just wanted to give you every chance to know that this is a reprint but it certainly does not say that on the cover or in any descriptive matter I have read. It does, however, reveal this information inside the cover on the copyright page. Too bad you don't get to see that if you buy it through an internet site. I make a point of purchasing all the western stories written by Jodi Thomas but even I didn't want to buy it twice.

Oh i am glad you fellow reviewers warned me this was a small book, and a quick read, and yes, i have to agree.. you just want more more more! When you have very little time but you would love something quick and wonderful, this is the book to get.. Never ceases to amaze me how much Jodi can pack into her novels.. it's like getting really yummy food with exquisite spices and preparation - delish!

this is a novella. it was originally included in a compilation book with other authors ("how to lasso a cowboy"). this is about on par with a novella. we aren't going to get much with it. it is just a great quick read. of course we love it and want more. . .it just makes you want to read more jodi thomas that way. :) i read "easy on the heart" before it was released as this seperate book, so i went out and bought "how to. . ." after i read it from the library. i am hoping the rest of that book will be as great as jodi thomas writings!
