Cafe Lily's review:
I am so excited that Kellie has a new Texas Gold collection and cannot wait to read the second book.
The first book, A Woman of Fortune, was fantastic and I enjoyed every minute of it.
This story revolves around a very wealthy Texas ranching family who lose everything and the trials they face both personally and as a family.
Claire Massey has to figure out how to start all over again when life as she knows it is suddenly over. With her husband facing prison, Claire has to try and hold her family together and maintain her sanity.
Kellie's books offer heartwarming stories, yet also show
the strength and resolve of her characters -usually women in crisis, who
need to pull together. Her characters are not sticky sweet, but
believable "real" women in tough situations that readers can relate to.
I also enjoyed Kellie's debut novel, Mother of Pearl. You can read that review here:
