Under Texas Blue Skies is a beautiful contemporary romance. It tells the story of a young couple, that are separated by a dream that takes one of them away. The separation is then compounded by a series of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unfortunate events which results in a very extended separation. Through this time, Mandy, aka Amanda, works her way through making a life for herself, sans JD, the former love of her life. JD has also worked his way through life by fulfilling his dream of becoming a country music star, but that's just a part of his dream. Unbeknownst to Mandy, the other part of JD's dream very much involves her. Challenges are faced as the misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unfortunate events of the past slowly come to light. Mandy and JD have much to overcome if there is to be any hope for them to move from past hurts to a future where dreams can come true.
I absolutely loved this book! Debra Holt did an awesome job of taking me on an emotional roller coaster ride. One minute I wanted to shake Mandy until her teeth rattled and the next minute I was cheering for her and shedding a few tears with her. JD, on the other hand, was just... Wow! The way the author described and developed his character had me holding my breath and rooting for him all the way. Loved him! I also loved how Mandy and JD's story unfolds so beautifully without any graphic details or language. But the thing I loved the most about the story is how it left me at the end. When stories end with a HEA, I find that I'm left with a feeling of, "Wow, that was really good." On the other hand, Under Texas Blue Skies left me with a sigh, a smile, and an all around genuine feel good feeling of, "Wow, that was awesome and amazing!"
