It is always a highlight when I am able to download the latest book by Heather and return to Divine, Texas. Her Diva fans know what I am referring to. She never lets us down and always has us begging for her next read. This current release is also a cross over book with fellow author Cara Covington's book titled: Love Under Two Private Dicks.Lucy's Revenge centers on the lives of Lucy Carter, Beck O'Malley and Patrick Owen. We also see some long time friends and family putting in brief appearances.Lucy has had her heart broken before. Now she knows what she wants from life. She has set her sights on Beck and Patrick. And while Patrick is on board, Beck is still holding out hopes that Chloe will return to Divine. The Character of Lucy was such a delight. She is full of fire and does not hesitate to let Beck know when he suffers once again from foot-in-mouth disease. She not only is moving on in her love life, she has taken the giant step of opening her own massage therapy clinic, A Divine Retreat.Patrick Owen was betrayed by his first wife. He is currently raising Patrick Junior on his own. He never thought he would be ready to fall in love so soon, but he is finding it hard to stay away from Lucy. And while he knows his business might suffer because of the lifestyle he is about to choose, he will do anything to be with the woman he loves.Beck O'Malley is Divine's local Bee Keeper. When Beck is not harvesting honey you can find him making beeswax candles and body products, or making bee hives to sell to customers. He has been waiting for a year for Chloe Rhodes to return from Lusty, Texas. She turned down Beck's proposal and took off one week later. While he believed himself deeply in love with Chloe, he struggles with his attraction to Lucy.The passion level is just what fans have come to want and expect from Heather. The story of Patrick, Beck and Lucy brought a few tears, cheers and head shaking moments. I wondered at times if Beck was ever going to get it right. Just as things look like they are going to work out between these three, Lucy faces a life-threatening moment.With one of Heather's Divine reads we still get to experience some dancing, a great music play list and long term friends that are always there for each other. I could not help but notice a few news names in the mix, I am sure we will see them down the road in future books, especially the duo of Ransome Cross and Val Teller. These two sound Divine!I have already marked my calendar for Heather's next release titled Maizy The Bear Charmer due November 8th and then the long awaited Awakening Veronica due out December 20th Sheriff Hank Stinson will finally get his story.There are always many favorite lines in Heather's books here is just one of the many:"You and I are having us a come-to-Jesus meeting one of these days, Beck O'Malley. Call me that again and next time I may rip a few hairs out instead of just latch onto them."5/5 starsI purchased my copy on Bookstrand
