4.5 stars Texas Winds is a heartbreaking and heartwarming small-town contemporary romance that has a little suspense and tension. It is easy to imagine the world that Dana has created and feel the wind on your skin as you get lost in the story. The story kind of kicks you in the feels in the beginning as emotions threaten to overwhelm you. Dana has given us a heartfelt complex tale but simplistic in its telling. The characters feel real with substance and vulnerability, and you will fall in love with them. I love that Dana writes in dual POV because it adds depth to a story, and you get inside their thoughts. Jake is a man who know a lot about the worst kind of betrayal and pain enough to make him a shell of a man he used to be. But he can no longer hide as he finds his heart being put back together piece by piece. But is he willing to take a leap of faith again. One precious little girls heart may depend on it. I look forward to reading more of Dana Wayne’s books.
