This book would have been good, however the ending really really really teed me off. It left too many things up. I felt like I was missing about 6 more pages of story. I now know that Ms. Callahan will be continuing the story in her next book, out in 2010 but that doesn't really help me now. I'm not sure if my thoughts would have differed had I know that going in or not, because the rest of the book, while slow at first was enjoyable. However the ending just turned me off completely. Others may

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Sadie Callahan is a pseudonym for Anna Jeffrey. I’ve only read one of Ms. Jeffrey’s books, so I was curious when I came across Lone Star Woman. There isn’t an underlying mystery or that type of thing in this book. It’s about a woman who has trained and worked and waited her life to someday be able to take over a portion of her father’s ranch, pull her weight, do what she feels she’s destined to do. Falling in love along the way really wasn’t in the plan,

3.5 stars. Enjoyable reading throughout the book, but the ending felt unfinished and not romantic enough.

Ick. Schlock. And not a romance, to boot, since there was no Happily-ever-after, which as far as I know is a requirement for the genre!
It seemed to me as though the author looked at several "formulas" and took bits and pieces that she liked, but then didn't know how to make them work. Lots of unnecessary backstory that went nowhere, lots of plot complications that went nowhere. Completely contrived ending, even more hurried than a Star Trek episode.

I loved this book. I loved the setting and I loved the characters (Jude and Brady). I quite enjoyed the slow and complex development of Jude and Brady's relationship. I did have some issues with how Jude handled her father's and grandfather's expectations, but I'm not certain what else she could have done. I wish the ending had been more definitive, but the author has said this is the first book in a trilogy. I hope that Jude and Brady show up again in the second book.

Interesting -- contemporary western romance set in the heart of Texas. Even though I gave it a mediocre rating, I sincerely hope there is a 2nd book and think there might be because of the way the book ended.
