Humorous, Sad, Suspenseful

This is a good book about a hotel owner, Justine Bryers, who was raped and had a son with a red mark on his face that was very angry and out for revenge against her. Her son was a real "snake." She was becoming paralyzed and people came to help her. I found it to be very interesting and it held my attention.

A good rainy day book

Typical Dorothy Garlock. Once I pick up a book by her I don't stop reading till the book is finished. Even though most of her story lines are similar, she adds just right amount of a twist to make it different. A good read for a lazy day.

The development of an oil town and romances.

I really enjoyed this sweet romance from DG. In this story there is a lot going on.Jill Jones is called a wildcat by the oilmen of Rainwater. This comes from her dumping water on a man who was tracking gunk onto her freshly washed porch of the hotel. Jill comes to Rainwater to help her Aunt whose health is failing. When her brother finds that she is in this wild western town all by herself he sends their close family friend Thad to watch out for her.This is where a lot of the romance starts but there is also a murderer among them, long held secrets etc... to mention a few things. There is more than one romance happening in this story. I really enjoyed the development of the characters etc...

Enjoyable

The book had somewhat of a predictable plot, but it was an enjoyable book to read. It consists of love and mystery. At times it will make you laugh and then make you cry. I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

She saved the best for the last

Rainwater! WOW! I didnt want it to end. I was living right there in that town amid all the roughnecks during the oil boom.Jill was fiesty, Thad determined. I loved the relationship between Thad, Joe and their friend Bluefeather. The romance between Blue and Radna was touching. I was so glad they got together. It was also good to discover that the rich man in town wasn't as bad as I thought him to be. All in all, this is the best Dorothy Garlock book I have read and I think I have read almost all of them. Treat yourself and read it.
