ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lisa Wingate lives in central Texas where she is a popular inspirational speaker, magazine columnist, and national bestselling author of several books. Her novel, Tending Roses, received dozens of five-star reviews, sold out ten printings for New York publisher, Penguin Putnam, and went on to become a national bestselling book. Tending Roses was a selection of the Readers Club of America, and is currently in its tenth printing.<\/p>\n

The Tending Roses series continued with Good Hope Road, The Language of Sycamores, Drenched In Light, and A Thousand Voices. In 2003, Lisa\u2019s Texas Hill Country series began with Texas Cooking, and continued with Lone Star Caf\u00e9, which was awarded a gold medal by RT BOOKCLUB magazine and was hailed by Publisher\u2019s Weekly as \u201cA charmingly nostalgic treat.\u201d The series concluded with Over the Moon at the Big Lizard Diner.<\/p>\n

Lisa is now working on a new set of small-town Texas novels for Bethany House Publishers. The series debuted with Talk of The Town<\/a> and continued with Word Gets Around<\/a>. A new series is also underway for Penguin Group NAL, beginning with A Month of Summer (July 2008), and continuing with The Summer Kitchen in July, 2009. Lisa\u2019s works have been featured by the National Reader\u2019s Club of America, AOL Book Picks, Doubleday Book Club, The Literary Guild, American Profiles, and have been chosen for the LORIES best Published Fiction Award.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>When Romance Is In the Air, Word Gets Around.\u00a0 Lauren Eldridge thought she’d wiped the dust of Daily, Texas, off her boots forever. Screenwriter Nate Heath thought he was out of second chances. Life’s never that predictable, though. Cajoled by her father, Lauren is back in town helping train a skittish race horse set to star in a Hollywood film. But the handsome screenwriter gives her more trouble than the horse. And Nate is realizing there’s a spark of magic in the project–and in the eyes of the girl who is so good with horses. Daily, Texas, has a way of offering hope, healing, and a little romance just when folks need it most.<\/p>\n

What people are saying:<\/p>\n

“Lisa Wingate writes engaging stories that strike the heart. God has gifted her with a marvelous talent and I, for one, am most grateful.”
\n\u2014Debbie Macomber<\/strong>, New York Times #1 bestselling author<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/h3>\n

Lisa Wingate has just become a member of\u00a0 my group of favorite authors. In addition to Word Gets Around<\/a>, I have also read Talk of the Town<\/a> and Texas Cooking<\/a> during the last week. I am totally enchanted with Lisa’s down-home stories, quirky characters, witty and humorous plot,\u00a0 and quaint but insightful homilies. In my opinion, there should be quite a few more Daily, Texas stories waiting to be told.<\/p>\n

In Word Gets Around<\/a>, both Lauren and Nate have pretty much given up hope – Lauren’s feelings of guilt and Nate’s feelings of inadequacy have crippled them. When Lauren ends up back in her home town of Daily, Texas at the same time Nate has been dragged there by his old friend, famous actor Justin, sparks fly between them even as they resist the attraction. Before the book ends, they have both fallen victim to the magic of Daily and the unselfish love of the townspeople has worked a miracle in their wounded hearts.<\/p>\n

I can’t say enough times how much I loved Word Gets Around<\/a>. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to review this book and will definitely be getting my hands on all Lisa’s past and future novels. I strongly suggest that you do the same.<\/p>\n
