Love on the Line by Deeanne Gist
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Love on the Line” by Deeanne Gist, is not your usual historical romance and that made,”Love on the Line” all the more a fun read! The story of a strong, independent woman and a Texas Ranger, undercover, set in the not so wild frontier of Texas,”Love on the Line” had all the elements of a perfect Friday night reading, to cozy up with, next to the fire, with a rich, hot chocolate on the table beside you.
The characters are well developed, the background for the story, well researched, and just even the backstory, of the main character, Georgie Gail, will have the reader, caught up till the very end of this wildly, funny, filled with charm, reading.
What makes,”Love on the Line” just a sweet and fun read, is that this is not your usual, sugary love story, but a story about standing up for what you believe in, about honesty, about the strength of character, that makes this book stand out as a Christian based story, historical fiction with a perfect touch of romance that is really more touching then ever, that will leave the reader, swooning for a “Luke Palmer” who is dashing though at the same time, charming as he meets his match with headstrong, Georgie Gail.
“Love on the Line” is very original and fun at the same time and this is not a “girly” book, but a solid read, that is both smart and very endearing and, if you’re like me, find it so hard to put down and have to keep reading till the end.
I’m normally not a big fan of romance novels, so with “Love on the Line”, instead I find a very smartly written book that has the element of romance, that is sweet and endearing, yet at the same time,the characters are strong in their own right and hold out as characters, on their own, that you will find yourself just growing close with and silently cheering out when you realize, “Wait..this has romance in it too”.
What I really enjoyed as well about,”Love on the Line” is that Georgie Gail is not a helpless damsel in distress; She is a strong, well rounded character who can hold her own but at the same time, not afraid to let her femininity show through, and even though she proves she can hold her own in a man’s world, at the same time, allows herself to be vulnerable and open when love finds her heart.
Deeanne Gist, perfectly writes a story that you will find yourself recommending to friends to read, placing it in your purse or backpack to bring on vacation, or if you have a Nook or Kindle, downloading it to read, while the fire is going or by the pool in the summertime.
Either way, “Love on the Line” left me feeling, for a historical fiction, it captured the time period wonderfully and had enough romance, for the romantic in me to indulge in a little, “That is so sweet”.
Ms. Gist, really brings the characters to life and writes the story in such detail that its not overwhelming, but helps the reader, just have a mental image of what they think the characters are thinking, feeling and must look that I fear if a movie was made, I could only hope it would match up to how delightful the book, itself is.
With the holidays around the corner, and you’re looking for a book to take with you on vacation, or just to read while warming up by the fire, drop by Georgie Gail’s, small hometown, and discover,”Love on the Line”.

I love this book and want to participate in this giveaway. However, when I tried to enter sweepstakes through Facebook it was allowing me to enter only US states. Is the contest not open to others?
