Lonestar Secrets is about a girl, Shannon, who has moved back to her hometown in Texas to be the town’s Veterinarian. One day she runs into an old classmate’s daughter, who looks very similar to her own daughter. Shannon takes a trip down memory lane and makes a serious discovery. Could this little girl be her daughter’s twin that she thought had died after childbirth? It’s a love story and a semi-thriller! She falls in love with her old classmate and has to learn to trust him again after he betrayed her in their high school years. They make their marriage last and learn that they can’t live without each other

To me Lonestar Secrets was a pretty predictable book, well the love story side of it anyway. Once the story was laid out in the first 20 pages I pretty much knew how the book was going to end and sure enough it ended the exact way I thought. There is a sub-story that is more of a thriller that keeps the book going, but overall it was only okay. This really wasn’t one of my favorite books to read and the dialogue was kind of cheesy; it reminded me of a Quentin Tarentino movie, way overdone!
