What Reviewers are saying:

This is a candid love story – a fictionalized memoir – told in the third person. The author has a wonderful engaging style of writing with much showing by means of excellent, often fast-paced dialogue, enhanced by specific scene setting – important because she paints a clear picture of the music and times of Country Music in Texas. I simply couldn’t put it down. I loved this book for its originality and telling things just as they happened

Jan Sikes shows a deeply moving, passionate and explicit, love affair, which keeps you wondering if Luke will survive, or if he does, drag Darlina with him down the slippery slope to addiction and death.

Jan Sikes creates the scenes in a way that makes you feel you are a part of the story. I could hear the music, see characters with their smiles and tears, and more than once had to dry my eyes as emotions coursed through me at different places in this story

As a reader, I was thoroughly transported by this incredible love story into a world of drinking, country music, drugs, and impropriety–the innocence of a young girl in love and the love of the man who is trying to protect her
