Howdy!

Do you enjoy stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, encourage your heart, and make you laugh? How about those cowboys with rugged good looks? And maybe the women who know their minds and aren’t afraid to speak them (with tact of course)? Well, then it’s my hope you find what you’re looking for in my stories.

Love, Stock, and Barrel is an inspirational western historical romance sprinkled with humor and mystery. The story is a fast-paced read with fun twists and turns, spurring the reader on to its “happily ever after” ending. A perfect balance is struck between showcasing the characters’ heartache of strained family relationships and depicting how their faith in Jesus Christ plays an important role in reconciliation. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to live life on the bright side, Texas-style.

Love lost, love regained, forgiveness, regrets, second chances. . .these are all themes in Win, Love, or Draw, a solid debut novel from Texas native Crystal Barnes. Throw in a few villains, heroes, and even a feisty gun-totin’ female and you’ve got the perfect setup for a heart-pounding adventure balanced with beautifully timed moments of comedic relief. This delightful historical offers readers an exciting read, and more than enough romantic tension to keep em hangin’ on for the ride. Highly recommended!
