Very poorly written and edited. The characters are mediocre and a lot of times don't come off as real. There's a 10 year old in the book, who has the personality of a 15 year old, it's just not believable. The writing doesn't flow and there's a lot of redundancy, like "My job took me away from them and sadly I was never there" Redundant and grammatically incorrect! The whole book is like this.
I've read 1 other Linda Warren book and while it wasn't nearly as bad as this one, I don't think I'll be purchasing any more of her books.

Madison's Children is very heart warming and heart wretching read.
I think that Madison and Walker's tale is something that could happen every day. A woman who loses her ability to have chilren, and a father who struggles with the responsibilities of single parenthood. The one thing I do like about the story is that it shows Madison and Walker make a strong couple, that they do need each other, and that without the other, they aren't as strong. They are stronger together.
I did enjoy reading about their struggles through their relationship, as well as the roadblocks that were cast in their way.
I do recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good story showing the strenght of family.
In High Cotton, Texas Philadelphian Madison Belle finds two kids hiding in the barn on her family's High Five ranch. She learns from the cowhands that teenage Ginny, tweener Georgie and infant Haley are the children of local constable Walker. Although the kids want to run way to their mom Trisha in Lubbock, Madison calls Walker to retrieve his children.
Already attracted to Walker, Maddie decides to assist the beleaguered single dad with his brood. The older two children have had issues since their mom ran off with Tony. As Walker falls in love with Maddie and she with him and his three offspring; their mom comes home claiming she is carrying his child.
The Belles of Texas (see Caitlyn's Prize) is an enjoyable romance starring two individuals with issues to overcome. Madison is healing physically and unsure she can deal with three children in need of nurturing and mothering. Walker distrusts women since his wife deserted him and the kids. Both know the children's needs come before their desire. Although Trisha is unbelievably over the edge with the kids, fans will relish this tale as she has rights that love might not be able to overcome.
