Review for Her Texas Family

Her Texas Family by Jill Lynn

I am so glad I didn't let my procrastination get to me when I heard about the opportunity to review this book. I loved Her Texas Family so much, I finished it within a few days. Jill is such an amazing writer. Listening to her speak on the Mundane Faithfulness podcast and in various interviews has allowed me to learn a lot about her. (I also learned we have quite a bit in common at the same time ;)) Despite this, it was through Her Texas Family where I saw another side to Jill: one where she showed off her wit and her strong foundation in the truth of the gospel all at the same time. 

I loved the characters in Her Texas Family. I immediately fell in love with Mattie because she was so much like me when I was her age. Graham is such a good father that it was hard for me to not like him. (The fact that we both have a passion for medicine drew me towards to him as well.) Also, reading about Graham's love and grief for his late wife brought a bittersweet reminder of Jason to my mind. And Lucy… Let's just say that she’s the person you'll have a love-hate relationship with because of how she can be at times ;) 

I am not one to like romance novels, but I definitely give this one 5 stars. Run -don't walk- to get your copy. You won't regret it~
