Miss Green Eyes

 A salute to those who are good at small talk. . . and those who are masters at avoiding it.  

 About the Book: Annalee Gillespie has had her world shaken. Her father has died, leaving her as sole owner of the Circle G. but when the will is read, she’s given the shock of her life: she must make the trek up the Chisolm Trail with her foreman, the most irritating man in creation, and complete the tasks given to her—or control of the Circle G will fall into the hands of another.

          Ewan Judge, while capable, smart and frustratingly handsome, has needled and teased Annalee through the years but somehow, she must learn to get along with him, annoyingly, the best cowboy in Texas. So, she accepts the challenge and finds herself in the midst of more than one enemy.

 Our Review: From the first page of this short, intense western romance author O’Neal shows her gift for describing emotion in succinct detail, keeping the pages turning. Annalee’s profound grief is immediately compounded by shock, followed by—for a few short moments—helplessness and dismay and maybe a touch of fear. Then she spies Ewan at the edge of the cemetery and steel straightens her spine. A phrase, common to modern times, fits quite well: Bring It On.

Miss Green Eyes portends a terrific Wildflowers of Texas series and we cannot wait for the next edition.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, Miss Green Eyes merits a 7.
