From the back cover...Straight out of the heartland of the South, here is a novel to gently rock the heart and soul, a novel of a woman traveling too long on an endless stretch of lonesome road who finds her way home at last. -
This paragraph made me want to read this book and I'm so glad I did. I fell in love with Harry, and Rainey...and the journey they begin. They each had disappointments in life, losses, and looking for something but not quite sure what.
Ms. Matlock's writing puts you right in...more

Drivel.
I don't know how in the world this book reached the best seller list, I was more than half way done with the book before it got remotely interesting. Another author that over explains every last detail of everything, or as I like to call it "useless filler" to make the book longer. 3 stars is generous, considering I scanned all the useless filler and it took me less than 4 hours to read the entire book.
I didn't like the 'real life' of this book. Everyone had all kinds of baggage and there was a lot of stuff going on. I think the domestic abuse was what probably put me over the edge, but I suspect that I was already almost there. I didn't really care for this book but I didn't dislike it enough to put it down before the end.
I don't have the exact read start and finish dates on many books I have read this year. The dates are approximated, as I have been in & out of the hospital, and on bed rest, and read 2-5 books a day depending on the book & length and my ability to focus. All dates are approximated, by month.
Rainey Valentine has lost her mother. Her mother has left her a horse trailer, truck, and a barrel racing horse. Rainey hits the highways to enter rodeo contests as a barrel racer. Along the way, she picks up a man who has been in an accident. Great read!
I love the people in this book - they are my kind. Set in Oklahoma a romance develops unexpectedly and ends ... well, I shouldn't say, don't wanna spoil your read. The characters appear to be drawn from real life and that makes the book so much more interesting.
Chit lit with a western flavor. Liked the main character--didn't like the religious stuff. There wasn't much of it but what was there was heavy-handed and annoying.
I read DRIVING LESSONS by Curtiss Ann Matlock several years ago and thought it was entertaining but it just didn't grab me like LOST HIGHWAYS did. This was more than just a romance novel. In LOST HIGHWAYS, the story was predictable but I wanted to know the life lessons that Rainey and Harry were going to learn. I wanted to to learn some of those lessons for myself. Rainey and Harry were lost in life and found each other on a highway. Together they would try to find out what they wanted in life....more
One of the few slow books that I have enjoyed. Love story which I don't usually like but the slow pace makes you care about the characters.
Very sweet, good when you want a heartwarming book about likable people.
This was a fun, good book. I really enjoyed it.
It was a good book. Not one that was page turning, but it had some good lessons to it.
This book is written in a purely delightful tone of voice. I loved it. There is one rather sensual bed scene in it, but you can see it coming and it's easily skipped. Well worth the read even with skipping the pages.
This was a sweet love story about a young woman who inherits her mom's rodeo horse and picks up a stranded traveler on the highway. Both of them are emotionally wounded but manage to find a way to healing. B. 03/17/09
Sweet and funny, enjoyable characters and setting. Nice way to while away a few hours on a lazy weekend afternoon.
Texas chicklit with a Christian flavor. She writes well, tho! Curiously refreshing...like cold tea on a hot day...
