Ratings and reviews

This is the first book I have read by this author and it won't be the last. When I started reading this book I have to admit it had me rather confused. Now I am a dyslexic reader so that might be why. So many people popping in and out with witches and seers. It took me a few chapters to settle in and honestly I had to set the book down, read another one and when I came back with a fresh mind it seem to settle down for me and click into place. Molly Mackillop is one of a family of all women who have never married ( cursed?) she has been drawn back to her hometown of Hopeless in Calamity Valley, Texas. Funny the names of the three small towns Hopeless, Surrender and Reckless and they each have some of her "women folk" living in them. Yes, I am sure we will have books about them coming up soon. But this is Molly's book and oh yes Saul Solomon. Molly came home after her broken engagement. Broken in more than the sense that she is not longer engaged but also that he stole from her. Now she needs to fix her hacienda in order to open her photography business . Her Aunts have forcast a man will come into the picture to help her... This book is well written and one I enjoyed. Looking forward to more from Author Jennie Jones.

This is a thoroughly entertaining book. It wasn't at all what I expected from the cover and the blurb but entertaining nonetheless. Saul and Molly are two lost souls who find each other in Calamity valley. While neither is looking for a relationship, they may well be exactly what the other needs to heal. This story has a very slight paranormal element with strange occurrences happening throughout. Spirits, family secrets, and desperate times all come together to make this a fun read. I would definitely recommend this one and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Lone Star Hero by Jeannie Jones, the first book in the Calamity Valley series. Likable characters. I enjoyed the development of the storyline between the characters with each of them issues and secrets from their past. Liked the setting. A great start to a new series.
