What a great story...

This book is excellent & I couldn't put it down. This is the first book I've read from this author & will be looking for more of hers. Win & Kora were meant to find each other & when they did they couldn't hold back their feeling long. I loved Kora's sister Jamie. She gave me many laughs. Don't pass of the chance to read this book. You won't regret it. This book is a keeper.


Two Texas Hearts

The main characters are likable. There's plenty of action. It's funny and hard to put down. The only down side to this book is that it was difficult keeping track of time. There was little to distinguish one day from the next and day from night. I often found myself struggling with the time line.

Surprising Twists

Once you start reading it's hard to put this book down. The story is unusual. A women, Kora, agreeing to marry a man, Winter, she just met, hence she gets 20 acres on a Texas ranch with a home, (part of his inheritance.) Kora is a poor woman, who needs a home and food; she is caring for her younger sister, who is a zany character to say the least, and her brother who is mentally scarred from war. Winter is a man of good character, his ranch is thriving, but under attack, but they are not sure from who. The characters are intriging, and the story takes many unexpected twists and turns. There is humor threaded throughout, and of course romance. It was a good mixture of fun and mystery and romance.

Sigh, If Only . . .

Consistently, Jodi Thomas yanks me into a story, makes me hungry for detail, and then leaves me wanting! In short, Jodi Thomas generally frustrates me! . . . Again, TWO TEXAS HEARTS starts with Thomas' familiar potency . . .

Winter McQuillen was a hard man. He was strong and he was honest; yet he was a man without warmth and he was very satisfied with his life. Still, he had one small problem: Winter McQuillen needed a wife . . . immediately! Yet, men like him didn't have time for such foolishness. Time was vital and courtship and love were lame. Therefore, he struck a bargain with the widow, Mrs. Kora Adams: she would wed him, she would stay with him for six months, and she would be gone. And yes, he would allow her to drag along her little sister and brother.

Kora Adams had a black cloud hanging over her head. To begin with, she was left-handed and everyone knew that was bad luck! Furthermore, she had been born a girl and everyone knew boys were a mother's blessing and girls . . . were nothing more than a mother's hands! Kora Adams did not believe in forever, she did not believe in marriage, she did not believe in love. All her life, fate had slapped her down and once more Kora Adams would survive. She learned a long time ago caring for someone invited pain. She was just his wife; she was just someone to cook and clean.

Jodi Thomas comes up with a great plot idea, she fills the story with great secondary characters, and TWO TEXAS HEARTS wasn't hard to read, for Jodi Thomas has a very nice writing style. However, the problem with TWO TEXAS HEARTS is the story won't stay with me. Once I move on to another book, Thomas' story will be gone! Forgotten! Why? Because the romance isn't strong enough! The author spends far too much time on the plot "monkey wrench!" I wanted Jodi Thomas to exploit Winter and Kora's romance! I wanted Winter McQuillen to woo Kora Adams! Evil sabotage, in a plot, is great for an added draw, but the plot's romance should always be the main attraction! Here Thomas' story felt overcrowded and there was no reason for it. Still, I like this author's books, and it is to her credit that I continue to hunt them down. Ms. Thomas has an extraordinary gift, if only she would turn up the romance. If only, if only . . .

This was sequel to "texas love song".

"Winter" is the half indian child rescued by the main characters in JT's Texas love song book. In my review on that one you will note that I really liked this little boy and hoped for more on him. This was a wonderful story and I'm pleased that I found it.
His bride was a wonderful mate for him and his friend "Cheyanne" worthy of his own story. I didn't give it a 5 because when "kora" is kidnapped twice in 24 hrs it is a bit of a stretch. Also the book goes from cheyanne and jamie hating each other to being married in the last few pages without any reason why they got together....Im glad winter and kora, who had an equally tough life, finally found happiness in his life.
