WILD HORSE SPRINGS is packed with lively and friendly folks, so if you have not previously made the trip to Ransom Canyon you don't need to worry. You'll be able to fit in quickly. Brandi Malone is also a newcomer, as she's a travelling singer who has stopped off to perform at the new club outside town. Dan turns up here with the boot and she's thrilled to have it returned to her. The two chat over a meal, and Brandi decides she could make an exception to her no-men rule. Life on the road isn't as much fun as it used to be ten years ago.

Life in the small town of Crossroads isn't entirely quiet, and Dan has to arrest a local teenager for rowdiness. A former Texas Ranger out at Wild Horse Springs comes off his horse in open country and has to be helicoptered to help. Not alone that, but half the drunks in town are convinced they are going to go home with Brandi after her stage set each night. Dan decides he has to keep her safe. It's his duty. Then matters start getting more complicated.

By the end of the book quite a lot of troubles have developed and the mixture of characters and plots will amuse and entertain you. I like that the different stories will appeal to a variety of age groups. The main romance smoulders along between Dan and Brandi but it's by no means the only one as various people meet and get on well, or discover how much someone means to them. What seemed like a quiet town turns out to be a lively one, just in a relaxed way most of the time.

Jodi Thomas has previously written several other series like Harmony, Whispering Mountain and Wife Lottery, all romances featuring larger than life Texans. I recommend WILD HORSE SPRINGS for adult romance readers who enjoy an ongoing story about a small town.
