"The pancake she handed him covered his plate.” The first thing one needs to know about Forever Faithful by Linda LaRoque is that it might be best read in the kitchen. After the first chapter you’ll be savoring crisp bacon and a stack of flapjacks. Linda uses a very visual form of writing. By the second chapter you’ll be full and ready for intrigue and mystery that threads throughout the rest of the book. Forever Faithful has it all, food, romance, horses (where did they come from?), mystery and murder. Linda’s writing is as warm and sunny with the occasional storm to maintain the intrigue as the central stage for all her books, Texas. Having said all of that, the bad guy (don’t they all wear black cowboy hats?) in Forever Faithful is… Nope, ya gotta buy the book |
