Love, Stock, and Barrel is one of my new favorites. This fun story has it all: a spunky heroine, an evil father set on ruining her life, and a Texas setting, which always makes me smile. I particularly loved the romantic thread in this story because it was laced with a bit of intrigue, which kept me flipping pages to see how (or if) things would work out. The writing is lovely and the story-line has something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Janice Thompson, Author of the Weddings by Bella Series

Love, Stock, and Barrel is an inspirational western historical romance sprinkled with humor and mystery. The story is a fast-paced read with fun twists and turns, spurring the reader on to its “happily ever after” ending. A perfect balance is struck between showcasing the characters’ heartache of strained family relationships and depicting how their faith in Jesus Christ plays an important role in reconciliation. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to live life on the bright side, Texas-style.
