After reading Waging War to Shake the Cold, I was really looking forward to Lone Star. Unfortunately it wasn't quite the same. It was almost as if someone else wrote it.The book opens with background info on the various characters. I disliked Curtis' wife Carmen. She was an ungrateful b*tch. I wanted to smack Curtis for putting up with her crap. Kate's unfortunate tie to Colin (aka CoCo) was acceptable at first but after a while I wanted to smack her upside her head for allowing him to play her that way. We learn that Kate is something of an environmentalist and even though that's important to the plot, it felt too contrived. Actually the whole windmill business deal just felt like an unnecessary subplot to me. I was surprised by the ending but it left me with a couple of questions. (Thinking back over the events, I guess it had to end that way.)In spite of those issues, I enjoyed the book and I'm anxious to read the next book in the series.(The author provided a complimentary copy, in return for my fair and impartial review.)
