Books by Jodi Thomas
Have you ever gone on a binge, reading books that hold your interest while you read them, but a couple of days later you can't remember at all? While The Comforts of Home held my interest while I was reading it, it wasn’t a memorable book for me. In addition, this is not a standalone book and con ...

Finding a husband for a girl living on a remote ranch in the late 1800s was difficult when the only men she saw with any regularity were crusty ranch hands or those already married. For three sisters in their early 20s, there just weren’t enough possible beaus to go around. Thomas cleverly tackles ...
This is the second in the author’s trilogy set in Harmony, Texas. I had trouble with the beginning and felt the ending wrapped up too quickly, but the middle captured me so much that I initially thought I might give the book a qualified recommendation. But I honestly never would have gotten past a ...
The Lone Texan is the conclusion to Jodi Thomas’s Whispering Mountain series. It begins slowly, has an exciting middle, then limps to the end. While I enjoyed it in a mild sort of way, it never totally engaged me. Sage McMurray grew up on the Whispering Mountain ranch, raised b ...

Tall, Dark, and Texan is the latest installment in Jodi Thomas' Whispering Pines series. I haven't read the previous books, but this worked as a stand-alone.

I’ve tried several previous Westerns by Jodi Thomas, but this was the first I truly enjoyed. While it isn’t perfect, it is a sweet and effective romance from start to finish.
Travis McMurray is a half-Irish, half-Apache Texas Ranger. His father was killed when he was very young, and his mothe ...
The Texan’s Reward is Jodi Thomas’ fourth book in the Texans series. This book focuses on the Nell a free-spirited business woman, and Jacob, a Texas Ranger - both of whom we met earlier in this series. Those of us who have read the other books could not wait to read the romance between Two Bits ...
I looked at my database of reading for 2004, and realized that I've only read two Western romances this year. Fans of the Western romance subgenre know you can usually count on Jodi Thomas for an entertaining read. This book features nice leads, but is marred by sequelitis and a ridiculous action ...
