Texas Winds by Dana Wayne – Review by Megan Rea

Texas Winds by Dana Wayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jake and Lexie’s story is so sweet and yet filled with angst and trepidation that you will be up into the wee hours of the night frantically turning the pages to see how it all plays out. I can’t say enough out this book and author…I’m literally putting her on my list of authors to binge read. While this isn’t the typical type of romance I like to read, I was sucked in and it was a nice change of pace. I can definitely see myself reading Wayne in-between my darker reads as a palate cleanser or when I’m just looking for something on the sweeter side. I loved the grumpy/sunshine trope that we get with Jake, the grumpy ranch owner who doesn’t really want to deal with his feelings of being a single father or how he feels instantly connected to Lexie and Lexie, the sunshine who has had some pretty cloudy days of her own, but is refusing to let that cloud her vacation to figure out what she really wants out of life. Through a series of happenstances, they are forced together (another favorite trope of mine) and there are twists and turns along the way that will squeeze and pull at your heartstrings. Throw in the adorable 4-year-old Katie who plays a major role in their relationship and you’ve got yourself a fantastic, slow-burn romance. I’m excited to go back and read Wayne’s other novels and to see what she has in store for us.
