![]() Now this is one of those stories where it’s a hate-to-love. She broke every record as a place kicker at Boston College and has years of coaching under her belt, so she’s the perfect choice to coach the Wildcats. ![]() She was raised on football (American football) and it has been a part of her family for centuries, and just because she is a woman, that doesn’t stop her from being so fierce in the sport. She wants to start fresh, make the best life for her son, Topher. Now although I cannot relate to this woman (I am a twenty-four year old with no kids and engaged to be married) Luis makes her such an easy character to love and understand. We start off with the lovely Aspin Levi, a thirty-seven year old single mom who has returned to her home town licking her wounds following a divorce. ![]() It’s a slow burner and is the second book in the series but you can still read it as a stand alone. Throughout this book I cried laughing, swooned and completely fell in love. Maria Luis does an excellent job of keeping a good ratio of steamy to plot line. ![]()

Fehrenbach Gone to Texas: A History of the Lone Star State Randolph B. (I just knew there would be a sweeps week episode where they met.) And what about holidays? How would he spend Christmas? Valentine's Day? Soooo many unanswered questions. Utley Written by a respected Western historian, here is the definitive account of the Texas Rangers, a vivid portrait of these legendary peace officers and their role in a changing West. We had yet to see the main character get into any serious hot water with the two wives. The series had just begun to explore the different relationships the two fathers had forged with their sons.

Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans by T.R. Surely, we thought, the network will move it to another time slot. ![]() And then we read about the abysmal ratings. An unusual premise, clever writing, intelligent plots, and plenty of opportunities to ask, "I wonder what might happen next?" And awesome music! We were hooked and happily waited for episode number two. Hands down, our family liked Lone Star the best. I carefully set my TiVo to record all the fall shows that had garnered positive reviews (plus a few that hadn't) so that I could compare them for myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() At dinner one evening, Clement offhandedly remarks that anyone who killed Protheroe would be doing the world a favour.
