Welcome
to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s Favorites. In the Wednesday’s Favorites
post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that
aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts
of genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites
is ‘Baxter’s Draw’ by Juliette Harper, a book I read in April 2015.
The Book:
Texas rancher Langston Lockwood died leaving his three
daughters with an inheritance of secrets, lies, and mysteries. The family
ranch, the Rocking L, includes a lonely box canyon called Baxter’s Draw, which
may be the key to a hidden Spanish treasure.
Still reeling from their father’s suspicious suicide,
Kate, Jenny, and Mandy are determined to discover the truth about Baxter’s
Draw.

and rivals, the Baxters?

Praise for ‘Baxter’s Draw’:
Baxter’s Draw is
a nicely written story about family and relationships that incorporated mystery
nicely. It’s a really good read.

This book was a
short southern romantic suspense novel building again on the ties of family.
With two books under my belt on this series, I have enjoyed them immensely.

With two books under my belt on this series, I have enjoyed them immensely.
This book is
filled with mystery but most of all with love and family. I loved reading about
the sisters and how they searched for more answers about their estranged
father. I loved how they became a family again, together with the men in their
life.

Thank you so much, Maureen. We've taken a year off from the Lockwoods to launch a new series, The Jinx Hamilton Mysteries. It's a fun mix of paranormal and fantasy that some people are kindly calling Harry Potter for adults. Hope you have a chance to check it out. The sixth book in the series is about to come out. We'll be getting back to book 7 of The Lockwood Legacy some time in 2017. Happy holidays!
You're very welcome Juliette. Thanks for stopping by!
I'll definitely keep your new series in mind. Maybe I can check it out next year 😉
