The authors of this cookbook did a wonderful job of capturing the look and spirit of Texas. The recipes are as diverse and as interesting as our great state. This is a recipe collection that you'll want to share with all your friends and family. Don't miss the recipe for "Artichoke and Spinach Queso" a wonderful Texas twist on a traditional appetizer.

All four novels in this anthology are connected, and each one has its own merit! Rachel Branigan cannot convince the town that she was attacked and she and her child are labeled because of it. This doesn't deter Rev. Caleb Stone who believes her and loves her and her baby girl. Lawman Lee Cutler keeps wondering why Patience Primrose keeps batting her eyelashes at him - until he discovers she's been reading Emma Hadley's book on how to catch a man! Circumstances, however, bring out the true Patience and everyone is surprised at this happy ending! Susannah Butler is the schoolteacher and the way is not easy for her and Bobby Joe Aaron as family secrets come to the surface and their love has to grow almost in spite of circumstances. Billy Ray Aaron, Bobby Joe's brother, catches a pickpocket who turns out to be a 19-year-old blonde attraction to him! He almost forfeits his job as Sheriff to save her, and all characters come into play in this final story of the four. Altogether, these complete novels are well written and the men and women are very real and three-dimensional - you see them as they really are and they react in wonderfully human ways. I recommend this book highly and I know you won't be sorry to enjoy this inspirational romance anthology. It's even difficult for me to enjoy regular library books now that I've discovered Barbour anthologies like this! I hope you enjoy TEXAS BELLES as much as I have!

When I saw these readings live, it was fascinating, a trek to the local characters, full of life and leather. You'll be touched by the common and the sublime interposed in tales set across the country, common only by their sponsors heritage.

A book/audio combination provides an excellent package of stories written and read by Texas authors and actors. Texas Bound IV provides an excellent set of literary and cultural reflections on Texas, pairing short story writers such as C.W. Smith and Larry L. King with narrators from Randy Moore to Larry Hagman.

Until this book, I had only read Maggie Shayne's books dealing with the paranormal, which I really enjoyed. I love romances set in Texas and this book was great. It includes the first three stories in her "The Texas Brand" series, The Littlest Cowboy, The Baddest Virgin In Texas and Badlands Bad Boy. Personally I really enjoy reading books that are connected, to get a glimpse of where the couples go after their story ends. I really loved this book and I can't wait to read the rest in the series!

Another GREAT Texas Brand book! If you have been reading the series than you know that Grant and Sara's father was a bigomist. He was married to two different women at the same time. He had two kids with one woman and five kids with the other. We learn in this book that he also had a long time affair with yet another woman, and this woman gave birth to a son-Luke Brand.

Luke has been isolated his whole life, but after a good friend dies he realizes that he wants more than his solitary life, so he heads to Texas to meet his half siblings and cousins. The Brands are thrilled to have Luke among there family and soon he decides to stay in Texas. Luke is remodeling the house that he rents and soon he will buy it at auction. Luke's plans are threatened when Jasmine and her son Baxtor show up claiming the house to be theirs.

Luke soon develops feelings for both Jasmine and her son. Luke knows that they are in serious trouble and he wants to help. Jasmine does not want to involve Luke or the rest of the Brands into her messy troubles (she obviously knows nothing about the Brand family). The decision may be taken out of Jasmines hands when she finds herself in over her head.

This is a great addition to the Texas Brand series. I love Luke, Jasmine, and Baxter. It was also nice to read about the rest of the Brand family again. This book has everything-suspense, romance, and family. And just when you think that the trouble has ended it starts all over again. I read this from cover to cover before putting it down. Thank You Maggie Shayne for another great Brand book.
