McKettricks of Texas: Tate
by Linda Lael Miller
Nothing in this book worked for me. There were myriad plot lines going, but none of them really developed into anything very suspenseful, poignant, or even satisfying. The characters were never convincingly developed (the children were particularly lacking), and I didn't warm to either Tate or Libby, but especially Libby. She was in turns: a competent business owner, an adoring aunt, a spineless daughter, a giggling school-girl, and, out of nowhere, a passionate woman. Every time she was with Tate she either giggled, got angry for no apparent reason, cried (again for little or no reason), or decided she had to have sex with him. Tate, on the other hand, was either having his chest swell or his eyes mist in pride for his daughters, burning with lust for Libby (after ignoring her for four years), or was being completely obtuse and walking away from Libby with a pat on the shoulder and a "You need your rest" instead of actually having a conversation.
******Possible Spoilers*******
This couple NEVER HAD A COHERENT CONVERSATION the entire book. Then, abruptly (with a stupid "angst moment" involving a child and a stallion to add drama) they confess undying love and the book basically ends. What?
Also, the plot line with the Marva was totally random and made very little sense. Would three grown women really let their mother, who abandoned them years before, move back into town and browbeat, guilt, and manipulate them into waiting on her hand and foot and cleaning up her messes?? The sisters act like spineless little girls around this woman who is selfish and spiteful, trying hard to appease her and keep her happy.
