Once readers get past the good ol’ boy banter, they’ll appreciate the rewarding, if not terribly deep, love story between high-spirited Shirlene Dalton and her redneck neighbor, Billy “Bubba” Wilkes, in Lane’s third Deep in the Heart of Texas contemporary western. Nouveau riche Shirlene has to return to her trailer park roots when the bank forecloses on the ostentatious mansion she shared with her late oil baron husband. As she tries to get her home back, she also has to deal with the four foster children squatting in her ramshackle trailer. Bubba finds Shirlene amusing, but vows to avoid offering her a “tour of Wilkesville” because of his own questionable plans for the town of Bramble. He doesn’t expect her tough exterior to reveal a tenderhearted, mothering woman just trying to make her way. This slow-paced story is perfect for a lazy summer afternoon. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary Agency. -

Forced out of her mansion when the death of her oilman husband leaves her practically destitute, Shirlene Dalton reluctantly returns to the dilapidated trailer where she was raised only to find that not only has it been taken over by a quartet of orphans, but she has also acquired a sexy, annoying, macho redneck neighbor, Billy "Bubba" Wilkes. West Texas born and bred, Shirlene is nothing if not resilient, and she's determined to get back on her feet, even as things go from bad to worse. But Bubba is not the crude hayseed Shirlene thinks he is. In truth, he is on a bizarre mission of vengeance, one that could easily destroy the town in the process--unless something changes his mind. VERDICT Slightly outrageous and spicy, but with an emotional edge, this zingy Texas romp brings fans back to tiny Bramble, revisits the townsfolk with humor and flair, and adds another fun-filled chapter to Lane's popular series. Lane (Make Mine a Bad Boy) lives in Albuquerque, NM.
