Ok, I sort of knew what to expect from Vonnie Davis, having read her debut book, Storm's Interlude, and LOVING everything about it. Not unlike SI, I laughed OUT LOUD with Those Violet Eyes. Win is to sigh for and Evie... Evie is a treat in short skirts and attitude. I wanted to bash her brother over the head and knock sense into him, but Win made me hold off. There were a few spots I wanted to quote here, but I don't remember them verbatim and that is the only way to get the full punch out of this writer's work. You'll just have to read it yourself.Ms. Davis is more than a story teller. She is a word weaver and I want to be her when I grow up. I was IN The Lonesome Steer Saloon, in Texas and in the characters' heads. This is a fabulous, funny, yet well written love story with depth and issues to make you think. Win lost part of a leg in Afghanistan (I'll let him tell you which one), part of his hearing and his sense of humor. Evie gave it all back to him in a way only a woman who loves a man can. Don't be fooled. These characters will leap off the pages. They are very well developed in so little pages. I recommend it if you need a light, quick read. Oh, and hide the ice cream...
