Historia
When a raging tornado hits Forth Worth, Megan's squad car is flipped over - and her devoted police dog, Brigit, is not amused. But that's not all that's upside down. The streets are littered with looters - and members of a violent street gang - and no local business is safe. It's time to get back on all fours and see that the job of protecting the public is done. But Megan, outmanned and outgunned, has no choice but to let the gang members get away.

Strong & Diverse
Revisado: 04-24-25
The author was brave to create a strong female character who was not totally white in a book series set in Texas.

Historia
Fired. Tara Holloway can't believe it. After all she's done for the IRS, a few too many shots fired from her weapon and suddenly she's public enemy number one. To add insult to injury, another agent has replaced her, and a 10-million-dollar assault case is hanging over her head. So much for traveling to Tokyo with Special Agent Nick Pratt, former partner and current boyfriend. Tara's stuck in Texas, and using green tea ice cream to soothe her disappointment, as well as the terrifying prospect of a life behind bars.

Not Believable
Revisado: 04-04-25
The idea that Tara was going to be charged with excessive force based only on the accusation of a kidnapper and violent criminal was too ridiculous for words, especially in Texas.
It was also improbable that Tara would be fired for saving a DEA agent who had been drugged and sexually assaulted. In Dallas, Tara would have been awarded the keys to the city and a big bonus.

Historia
When you're an agent for the IRS, it's always tax time. And this season, Tara Holloway is up to her neck in work with two very knotty cases. One involves a charismatic minister who's using his mega-church as a tax shelter. The other is a crazy militant who's trying to turn Texas into a separate country. With her boyfriend out of town and her partner reassigned, Tara is on her own - and things are getting hairy. If dealing with the Lone Star State isn't enough, Tara has other new issues to take into account: There's a sexy new agent named Nick, who's got her head in the clouds...and Tara's boss, Lu, who's having a hair problem of epic proportions.

Hair Obsession
Revisado: 04-04-25
While most of this series is entertaining, it seems the female characters are portrayed as rather shallow. Tara's boss Lu (55 plus) is recovering from cancer treatment and oddly more concerned with her beehive hairstyle than enjoying her life after cancer.
Is that a Texas thing? Lu is smart public servant with years of experience and dedication, yet all we learn about Lu is her outdated clothing choices and hairstyle. Sure, it's amusing that she has a distinctive style but surely there is more to Lu.

Historia
When she joined the Criminal Investigations Division, Tara knew she'd be investigating some very real crooks. Forget about waitresses hiding tips from the IRS or babysitters not declaring income! Tara and her partner, Eddie, are going after one of country's richest, dirtiest felons. Being on a diet doesn't help Tara's mood much. Hopefully, by the time the investigation is over, she'll be sitting somewhere in a string bikini, far, far away....

Good But Could Have Been Amazing
Revisado: 04-04-25
While Diane Kelly is an amazing writer, this series is in desperate need of a good editor. Tara, CPA and IRS agent, had potential to be a unique and engrossing female lead character, so the constant references to her less than appealing physical qualities was annoying and distracting.
Tara was described as short and flat-chested, but somehow, she acquired a hunky boyfriend. Why the repeated body shaming in a series geared toward woman readers?

Old Does Not Mean Stupid
Revisado: 03-30-25
I really wanted to like a series in which the main character Poppy is over 60, but evidently the author appears to believe that older women are not that bright. Poppy brags about not knowing how to write a check or balance a check book, as well as pay her bills when her third husband blows all their money before he drops dead of a heart attack. Seriously, this is not the 1950s and most divorced women know that their financial future can't be trusted to the spouse of the year.

Sugar Sweet Fantasy
Revisado: 03-28-25
While I totally enjoy low key stories without blood and gore, this series is a modern-day fantasy where every difficult situation has a miracle cure. Evidently there is a town somewhere in Florida with no minorities, crime, homelessness or bigotry.

Historia
There’s a wedding on the horizon, and Georgia Carpenter couldn’t be happier. But that doesn’t mean she’s lost sight of everything that still needs to be done to get the Sea Glass Inn ready for opening. Not only is she preparing for that, but the magazine photoshoot is right around the corner, too. As is the town council election. Most people think Travis Taylor, the inn’s handsome handyman, is a shoo-in, but with Lavinia Major as his opponent, anything could happen. And probably will.

55 is the New 35
Revisado: 03-28-25
While this series is slightly too sweet and unrealistic, I totally appreciate how Georgia, her sister Lilly and several other over 55 women are portrayed as interesting, productive, ambitious, and vital. In fact, the most engaging characters - excluding animals - are mature but not elderly. Perhaps authors are starting to understand that most people who have the time to read (or listen) regularly are over 50 and not interested in young adult fiction.

Did Not Want Series to End
Revisado: 03-28-25
Since this is one of my favorite series for many reasons, I was not ready to say goodbye to these characters. I liked how the romance between Nate and Liz was underplayed while her family, the island and their investigations were the center focus.

Georgia Carpenter is hard at work on rehabbing her inherited inn with the goal of reopening as soon as possible. A goal that seems very attainable with the help of handsome handyman Travis Taylor and her family. But she wasn’t counting on her estranged sister, Lilly, showing up. Georgia and Lilly have never really seen eye-to-eye about anything, and Georgia worries that Lilly will cause trouble when she realizes their great aunt didn’t include Lilly in her will.

Like Listening to the Waltons
Revisado: 03-26-25
While sometimes I enjoy a simple story, particularly involving family and animals, this series might be just a tad bit too sweet.
When Lilly barged back into the lives of sister Georgia and her children, she was a witch on wheels. Then she did a complete turnaround in a day or two - if only changing character flaws was that easy.
FYI, each book in this series has no real ending. This third book stopped in the middle of a hurricane, which seemed really weird. And I would not buy this series but free is fine.

Clean is Not the Correct Word
Revisado: 03-25-25
For everyone who claims that this series is CLEAN, I find it sad that so many people believe that normal human physical affection is somehow DIRTY. Very popular with the morality police, I guess.
FYI, while I don't find descriptions of graphic sexual situations entertaining or necessary in any book, I am not offended by subtle references to characters who enjoy consensual sex in a healthy relationship.
Since this series revolves around an extended family, there is no great suspense, mystery or violence (so far). It feels like I am listening to a Hallmark movie: slow, comfortable and a good escape from the harsh realities of life.
