Take Two: Texas Romance Strikes Twice in Back-to-Back Novellas

by Debra White Smith

Popular author Debra White Smith delivers two heart-tugging tales set in the sleepy East Texas town of Jacksonville, where, even for down-home country folks, life can get tough. No one knows that better than widow Brendy Lane, her son Kent, and his children, Pat and Pete. When Brendy has another chance at love with her high school sweetheart, Zeke, will her grandchildren stand in the way? And years after Kent's wife--mother of Pat and Pete--abandons them, can Kent's two little matchmakers convince their father the plump and pleasant Sylvia Donnelley is the woman who can make their family complete again? Having lost in love the first time around, can either a widow or her son, abandoned by his wife, find the courage to risk their hearts again?

This was a fun quick read. Two romance novellas that happen in two generations in one family. Basically this is like a Hallmark movie in book form. 😁
