My Review:
When I first read about ‘Langston’s Daughters’ I was immediately
intrigued by this story. I love stories about family life, barns and of course
cowboys, so this book sounded like my kind of thing.

In ‘Langston’s Daughter’ we meet the three sisters Kate,
Jenny and Mandy. All three Langton’s Daughters have been living their own
lives, trying to get away from their unkind Texas father. But when their father
ends his life they are forced to get back to the town they grew up in. They are
surprised to learn that all three daughters inherited their fathers land and a
lot of money. But there is a catch to the inheritance and soon they learn that there
father had a lot of secrets.

This book was easy to read and I loved reading about the
sisters and their relationship with each other. All three sisters are different
but they all have one thing in common: there love for each other. I think I
loved Kate the most. She was the responsible sister who was forced to take care
of her sisters when her mom died. Kate was just such a strong character and I
loved how she made a life for herself despite all the things her father said to
take her down.

Not only is this book about family and life, but there is
also a lot of mystery and even a little romance. Although I really enjoyed
reading this story I was a little disappointed when I learned that this book
was so short. I think this book could have been even better if there was just
more depth into the individual stories. More depth would have made this book a
little longer but I think that would have made this book even better. But that doesn’t
mean that I don’t want to read the next book in this series. I think this series
has very much potential and I can’t wait to read more about the sisters and their
love interests.

“Patti teases me that I just don’t want to own up to
writing a book with romance in it,” Williamson adds, “but that’s not true. I
like the Lockwood women and the way they tackle everything life throws at them.
And before we’re done, they’ll be ducking a lot. I imagine coming into the office
every day and saying, ‘Okay Juliette, what’s going to happen now?’ She tells
us, and we get it down on paper.”

Hi Maureen, thanks so much for your nice review. The second book, Baxter's Draw, is now available — and it's longer. LOL Hard at work on the third one.
You're very welcome! I can't wait to read the next book! Keep up the good work 🙂
I was just going to say what Juliette said. That they are rapid releases so there's not much wait between them. I think for me I prefer the shorter books and rapid release rather than the longer books but it's definitely a personal choice. I also find I'm much quicker to say yes to review a short book. It's probably the blogger in me, trying to squeeze in as many books as I can!
Thank you so much for hosting a tour stop and reviewing today!
You're very welcome! And I can definitely understand what you mean about saying yes to review a short book. I do agree on that, but sometimes if a book is very enjoyable I just don't want it to end so soon 😀
