Texas Two-Step

The first of the Promise, Texas series, Texas Two-Step introduces the reader to Promise, Texas, small town USA. The book focuses on small town experience and ambience rooted in traditional values. That in itself brings on the inevitable conflicts with the larger culture and media-focused culture. The small town setting is refreshingly simple and straightforward with just a hint of mysticism. The characters,especially the women, are pleasing with enough reality in personality and presence to make them enjoyable and romantic. I found this book a delightful escape and, being a widow, a fun source of romance! I have the whole set of Promise books and enjoyed them all!

If you've read and enjoyed first in the Heart of Texas series than you'll enjoy this one. Glen and Ellie made the book so interesting that I couldn't put it down until I had finshed it. It also had me laughing in places. This was well written and the humor had it's place in the story. Glen was funny in his attempts to get Ellie from having anything to do with Richard romantically. This is a book that you won't be able to put down. It's so well written that you can understand the struggles that Glen has within himself over his friendship with Ellie and his wanting to change that relatioship to something more. Debbie Macomber has done a great job with the characters and the unfolding storyline. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has read and those who haven't read any Debbie Macomber books.
