A Texas Sky (Yellow Rose Trilogy #2)
by
Lori Wick
Dakota Rawlings, Texas Ranger, is accustomed to big adventure...but nothing in his work has prepared him for the seemingly easy task of escorting Miss Darvi Wingate to the town of Stillwater and on to Aurora.
Quick-witted, game for anything, and just as passionate about her newfound faith as Dakota is about his, Darvi seems to find trouble under every rock. When she becomes...more

4 stars! For me, this one SORTA had what the previous one lacked: a major issue that the hero and heroine had to overcome. Although I gotta say, I wasn't sure the hero was gonna figure things out... but once he put his mind to it (quite late in the game), it was like badda-bing badda-boom... game over.
But when I say it SORTA had it, when I say "a major issue the hero and heroine have to overcome," I usually mean something that is keeping them from being together, you know? Issues with their past...more

The second in the Yellow Rose trilogy by author Lori Wick finds Texas Ranger Dakota Rawlings taking on an unusual assignment: escorting childhood pal Darvi Wingate to Stillwater. However, trouble seems to follow her around and they face obstacles that test their newfound faith.

Lori Wick is one of my fovorite Christian novelists. The seamless way she crafts her stories amaze me. A Texas Sky is no exception.
The story is set in Texas during the late 1800s and tells the way a kidnapping ends in romance. The descriptions are rich in detail and the plot kept me turning the pages. When you read this book, look for the way Lori Wick portrays the villians as deluding themselves.

This was one of the amazing book to go on with the story, i think that Dak's relationship was importend in the first book and how much he was trying to ignore it, but what happeneds to him in the story really does bring him to God and it was God's way of bring him on to the right path. Like its says that God is never to late, he might linger for a while but he will be there on time. It was also an amazing adventure of watching now the story unfolded with Darvi in the picture and how many times...more

I enjoyed this one more than the first book since more "exciting" stuff happened, what with the abduction and all. I found it interesting because the storyline could have played out so differently. I swear I've read something similar where the girl did fall in love with the man who kidnapped her, but I guess this one is more true to life...or if you're all religious and stuff it is. ;)
I really enjoyed the beginning and end of this book. It started dragging in the middle and I found myself skimming the middle part. It also has some nice discussion on some of the struggles a new Christian might face.

Set in the 1880's in Texas, it is not my favorite time period but it is a sweet love story of a Texas Ranger and a girl who could get into all kinds of trouble by herself.
love this book. I don't remember the date I started reading this book or when i finished it.
Enjoyed reading this kept my interest and did not matter that I had not read the first book.
This is a Christian romance novel. Light and easy read and always a happy ending. What I like best about Wick's work is that she imparts real Bible knowledge without making it seem preachy.
Lori Wicks books are charming and you can't help but fall in love with the characters.
This western read was great. I love the way Wick creatively matches the characters.
I loved it especially since I am originally from Texas!
awesome series. Very good old fashioned.
Exciting Exciting!!!
love it!
Second book in the series. An enjoyable read. Held a couple of surprises.
Injured Texas Ranger Dakota Rawlings returns to work early, but his boss objects and asks him to escort his niece to another town. Darvi and Dakota are attracted to each other—especially when they realize they’re both believers.
Mistaken for another, Darvi is kidnapped. When an abductor takes a shine to her, he refuses to release her. Unable to imagine how God could rescue her, she is amazed when Dakota appears!

Dakota Rawlings is my favorite type of romantic hero; as a 19th century Texas Ranger, he's skillful, quirky, tender, and protective. Darvi's his perfect fit, and she's put in a situation so incredible it just might be true. But Dakota's right - trouble does seem to follow her around. (Second book in Yellow Rose trilogy)
Yellow Rose Trilogy, about three brothers who come to Christ and find love. I read these over and over and don't mind that they are predictable to me. It's like having a conversation with an old friend that will come to a satisfactory end.
This is the second book in the series. I really like Lori Wick. She is a great author and I never have to worry about the content. I read it out loud to Jez while we are driving or making dinner and it's ok to let the kids hear.
another book filled w/ some real people, w/ some great conflicts. not quite as light and easy a read as the previous one in the series, but still good and relaxing
one to the last in the series!

It was so great to read this book a second time. I found I really didn't remember a lot of it, so it was almost like reading a new book. And I really enjoyed the characters and the storyline.
This one is my favorite of the three in Lori Wick's Yellow Rose Trilogy.

Like I said, I really like her Yellow Rose Trilogy. I think I'm just in love with the Rawlings boys....
