"A Cowboy, An Heiress, Her Brother's Husband, and a Badass Mercury Montego. This is the story of a her loving a him--who's in love with another him--and that other him enduring an unrequited love for the original her."
William Jack Sibley, author of Here We Go
Loop De Loop, is a fifth-generation South Texan. Only someone
with those roots could create the dried-up town of Rita Blanca and
make the reader fall in love with it. The plot revolves around two
families. The Pennebakers include Marty, reluctant heiress to the
family ranch; her dead brother Tom; and her father Pete, dying of
cancer and contrariness. The Lyndecker clan is headed by Pettus,
who single-handedly raised his five siblings. The Pennebakers are
land-rich, money-rich, blue-blooded Texas aristocracy. The
Lyndeckers are land-rich, money-poor, pure-D Texas trash. Drop-dead
gorgeous Pettus has loved and left every woman in town. He is
currently loving (with no plans on leaving) Marty, who gave up her
semi-glamorous life in New York City to come home and care for Pete
in his hour of need, if only he’d let her. To Marty, Pettus is just
her dead brother’s old friend and a pleasant way to pass the
time.

When Chito Sosa arrives in town to honor his
husband‘s dying wish to improve Rita Blanca, everyone’s lives are
turned upside down. Add subplots involving feuding florists, an
immigrant family desperate to leave the U.S. for a better life in
Mexico, and the various ups and downs of the Lyndecker clan, and
the plot becomes more enthralling with every turn of the
page.

With its satirical reliance on small-town
Texas life, Here We Go may not be for everybody, but it had
me laughing out loud, crying, cheering the characters on, and
repeatedly interrupting my husband‘s reading to share passages from
the book. I’m giving this Texas treasure five
cows!
