This book got me hooked on Lisa Wingate! (2010-05-18) : 5/5
Talk of the Town was offered as a free Kindle book and although I was a little skeptical, it was so worth it!! This was just my 2nd Kindle book, the 1st was Ted Kennedy's memoir which I truly enjoyed, but after it I wanted an easy read. This book was so funny and the characters so real. I can picture each of them and the town of Daily!

After reading this book I purchased Never Say Never and Word Gets Around. Some of the characters overlapped and again, both were so funny and enjoyable! I couldn't find Tending Roses in a Kindle version so I purchased it in paperback and now I'm hooked on that series! I believe Good Hope Road is next and I plan to purchase it on my Kindle.

Thank you Amazon for offering Talk of the Town for free! It has opened up a whole new world of Lisa Wingate books to me! I had planned to read a lot of political books on my Kindle, but they will have to wait. I'm enjoying this light reading for now!


Entertaining, fun, sweet, funny! (2010-04-26) : 5/5
What a fun book to read. It really is all of the above. Great entertainment, fun, so funny you'll laugh out loud, and at the same time some scenes were so sweet they really touched my heart. The romance was well-done and the small town of Daily was the perfect setting for it. Lisa Wingate hits it right on the mark. The people are so real, you'd expect to drive down Main Street in any little Texas town and find them sitting at the cafe or coming out of the bank. Wonderful book with great characters, fast moving plot and good values. Must read!
Small talk... (2010-04-21) : 3/5
This is clean, contemporary romance...sometimes a little overdone on the "down-home" lines, but tolerable in short (for me) doses. Talk of the Town ia a good book to take with you to sit and read while waiting in a doctor's office, or during a PTA meeting lull. But, do not read it while you are sleepy! You will, for sure, be as tired as a barncat after a squirt of fresh cow's milk.
Buy the whole series (2010-04-17) : 5/5
Really, just buy the whole series and enjoy. Daily, Texas is the perfect hometown, not because the people there are perfect. They have all the normal issues, but they're willing to listen, learn, and grow. This story of a town coming together to defend and nurture one of their own is well written and compelling, while also being so funny you'll lose your breath laughing. What a great book.
