With the highest respect

from a fantastic author. Great job! Thanks for including me in this mini-invitational.
An enjoyable tale in familiar settings, love the bit of old characters as his folks. It adds something to the story with familiar people and settings. Keep doing these invitationals, they are great!
I am a sucker for happy endings, I guess. This story is well written and really enjoyable. Keep it up.
Really written well. You very nicely portrayed "Big Jim" as the 'everyman.' The romance had very credible bumps along its way as do real life relationships. Engaging characters, very pleasant story.
Really like your writing Style as a Northern neighbor (Montreal canada) I really enjoy the pictures you draw of Texas in your stories. Looking forward to your next one
What a great story! Not only did it evoke empathy for both main characters, but it also included all the family members in a loving way. Please keep them coming...
Or maybe he just needed to finish growing up and happened to do it with Holly -
But the love you have when you get past your hormones is a much greater thing than the lust based one -
A few find both in the same person the first time 'round - good fer 'em -
Nicely done thank you sir -
Jack, you spin a good yarn. Another feel good story., definitely worth the read.
I was not raised as a lover of country music but after being married to a fan for over 60 years I have grown to like a lot of it. I did not realize how good a singer that Ray Price was until after he died.
Great story. Of course as an old Texan, I enjoy reading stories about my homeland. Thanks, Jake. 5 stars, without a doubt.
I don’t know about that Kelly. Jim took a bullet for her, protecting her and her kids, and instead of her going to the hospital to make sure Jim was ok, she gathered up her kids and ran home to momma. For a month. Heck, he could’ve died in the hospital for all she knew. Had it been me I would’ve had serious doubts about marrying her. It seemed to all work out, I suppose,
