Down Home Romance - Wonderful read!

Blue Plate Special transports you to the world of a Texas truck stop and cattle ranch through Cheri Jetton's wonderful and evocative word pictures and lively dialogue. The main characters, Megan Stallings and Chad Winslow, immediately capture your heart because they are portrayed as two very human individuals whose imperfections make their story all the more believable. Their interactions quickly draw you into their story. The personalities of her engaging secondary characters -- Chad's parents, Buck and Eileen; diner waitress, Nadine; trucker Booth -- add yet another level of depth to her captivating book. Meghan's running from her poor choices when her car breaks down. She's rescued by Chad, a rancher turned knight in shining armor. But, has she made another mistake when she falls in love with him? Is Chad a married man? Ms Jetton weaves a charming tale with threads of truck stop wisdom, wholesome southern values, and a cattle ranchers' family honor into a delightful story about two stubborn hearts maneuvering potholes and detours to find each other and a happily ever after home together. Blue Plate Special will provide great reading for a lazy spring day. Cheri Jetton hooked me with her refreshing style. I'm ordering her Texas Dawn today. I recommend you order Blue Plate Special and Texas Dawn, too.

Cheri takes you straight from the emotions Chad feels when he meets Megan the first time to when he searches for her, expressions, feelings and all. You are there every step of the way. It is a really wonderful book to read. As soon as I read the dedication, a tear caught in my throat. I knew by that lone dedication that this book was going to be a thumbs up, and toes facing up to the clouds. The book is wonderfully written, and has you wishing to go on in life with the characters. Blue Plate Special leaves you feeling like whatever you want to happen in your life can come true if you allow your heart to steer the course. Blue Plate Special gets five stars in my book. No matter what special life has dished out for you, Blue Plate Special will leave you feeling that you can face anything that is dished out to you. It shows that truckstops have real people that care and they have the best smiles and food that you can find when you are traveling. Not to mention the biggest hearts in the truck drivers and their families. Thanks for making Booth a wonderful character with a loving and kind heart. And thanks for taking care of Nadine. I've met a few like her. Thanks Cheri, for an excellent book to read over and over.
