A Texas book review
Jo Barrett’s third book, Don’t Let It Be True, is truly Texan − wit-rich and revenge-driven. After all, the saying “Don’t mess with Texas” wasn’t pulled out of thin air, ya know!
Don’t is full of Texas high society sex and boot-stompin’ beatings but reads as smooth as the glass surrounding her blue-blooded characters’ margaritas. Oil heiress and philanthropist Kathleen Connor King, called Wild Kat by her lover Dylan Grant, is really a poor artist, having given away her inheritance to fund a pediatric cancer hospital. She’s getting by on her boyfriend’s family oil money − that is until his father dies and Dylan’s black gold reverts to its poker-lucky new owner.
Oh, the trouble that causes.
Jo’s first novel, The Men’s Guide to the Women’s Bathroom, has been published in eleven countries. Her second, This is How It Happened (not a love story), is currently being adapted into a screenplay. Jo’s a columnist for HTEXAS Magazine in Houston.
This book is a fun, fast read and I want to share it with you so….
