About the
book:
She's Finally
Found a Place to Call Home... How Far Will She Go to Save
It?
With nothing to their
names, young widow Rosa Garner and her mother-in-law return to their Texas
family ranch. Only now the county is demanding back taxes and the women have
just three months to pay.
Though facing
eviction, Rosa falls in love with the countryside and the wonderful extended
family who want only her best. They welcome her vivacious spirit and try to help
her navigate puzzling American customs. She can't help but stand out, though,
and her beauty captures attention.
Where some offer help
with dangerous strings attached, only one man seems honorable. But when Weston
Garner, still grieving his own lost love, is unprepared to give his heart, Rosa
must decide to what lengths she will go to save her future. Read an excerpt: http://ow.ly/9sK2C

My Review: First of all I LOVED that the main character was a Mexican woman. However, in all honesty, I suppose I wanted her character to be more fitting to her environment and not standing out as if on display. I liked that she was described as beautiful, but not all Mexican women dressed provocatively and were probably just as demure as the American women, just that most Mexican women wore dresses with a lot more flair and color but no less modest.
The characters are quite believable and you do begin to admire this woman who is totally out of her element and must learn American customs to fit in, but not lose her heritage. I almost saw her as Ruth and Naomi. She followed her mother-in-law and left her people behind when her husband passed.
Rosa is very likable and of course you have the cowboy, loner, hero that comes along to steal her heart.
A sweet love story.

This may come as a shock, but it's not quite my cup of tea. That said, I applaud your honesty in terms of being sent a promo copy and your agreement with the author. That's how things get done these days. Most persons would keep that agreement under wraps and try to pass the review off solely on their own.
On the other hand, I know that, as a reader, I can come here and expect such honesty.
That's what makes you endearing.

Thanks, BZ. That really means a lot to me. :)
