Love On The Line
This was my first Deeanne Gist novel, but it won’t be my last. “Love on the Line” charmed me from beginning to end. The story’s authentic setting brings the entire town into the novel via the telephone “party line” and weaves breath-holding high tension and laugh-out-loud moments throughout the tale. However, what impressed me most about Deeanne Gist’s novel was her ability to create flesh-and-blood characters — real and believable people — from mere words and imagination. Not only are the main characters, Georgie Gist and Luke Palmer (actually an undercover Texas Ranger named Lucious Landrum), multi-dimensional and well-rounded, but the townspeople, the outlaws, and even the notorious bank robber, Frank Comer, come across as viable, multi-dimensional individuals. I highly recommend this book.

About the Book:
Rural switchboard operator Georgie Gail is proud of her independence in a man’s world … which makes it twice as vexing when the telephone company sends a man to look over her shoulder.
Dashing Luke Palmer is more than he appears though. He’s a Texas Ranger working undercover to infiltrate a notorious gang of train robbers. Repairing telephones and tangling with this tempestuous woman is the last thing he wants to do. But when his stakeout puts Georgie in peril, he realizes more than his job is on the line.

Oh my, this is your first book by Dee? She has some great books and is such a sweetheart! I loved interviewing her in 2009.
Linda — I do believe that interview is what lead me to decide to review books, too. I was unemployed so I was spending money only on authors I trusted to give good value. That means I wasn’t exposed to the work of anyone new to me, and I knew I was missing out. Book reviews seemed to me good way to feed my book habit, meet new authors, and save money — which it was.
I just downloaded a free copy of Maid to Match. I’ve never read any books by Dee but this book sounds like a great read. I met her this past summer and she’s so nice.
