Source: Product Description
Big Lizard Bottoms-where getting hitched is a local industry-is not any place Lindsey Attwood, a play-it-safe paleontologist who's sworn off romance, ever expected to find herself. She's here posing as a horse psychology student to help recover dinosaur tracks stolen from a local guest ranch. After only a day at the ranch, things start spiraling out of control. Her horse-therapy horse hates her, she's been adopted by a huge stray dog with a bad reputation, and there's this local rancher who has her all moonstruck. After years of digging around in the past, Lindsey's wondering if it's finally time to see what the present has to offer.

This is my first Lisa Wingate book, but it won't be my last. The cover and title intrigued me, so I thought I'd give it a try, and WOW, I'm hooked. I read it in less than twenty-four hours, and my only regret was that the fun was over too soon. This is the type of book that transports you so completely, you're surprised (and a little disappointed) to wake up in your own world when you reach the end. The settings were beautiful, and the characters were real people with real problems and challenges in their lives. I not only felt that I knew them, I felt that I could BE one of them. The book also had a spiritual side that was uplifting, but at the same time made me think about life and what is important.
Overall, I laughed, I cried, I loved spending time with the residents of this crazy Texas town. Now I'm off to order the rest of her books! GREAT READ.

Paleontologist cataloguer and single mom Lyndsey Attwood misses her daughter, who is spending the summer with her father, Geoff, the first time the absent dad has been with his eight years old daughter. Her twin sister Laura recognizes that her sibling is lonely so asks her to spend time with in San Saline, Texas. Knowing she cannot face her walls without Sydney, Lyndsey takes leave and travels from Denver.
In Texas, Laura's reporter pal Collie Collins (see TEXAS COOKING), asks Lindsey to go undercover by pretending to attend a horse psychology seminar in order to help her solve a mystery involving missing dinosaur tracks on a local ranch. Lindsey meets and begins to fall in love with former veterinarian cowboy Zach Truitt; he reciprocates. However, she has doubts about relationships with males having been burned once before
The latest Big Lizard Bottoms tale is a fun Texas contemporary romance with a mystery subplot that never really matters as the missing dinosaur tracks takes a back seat to the relationship drama. The story line is driven by the antics of the zany secondary cast, who help the Rocky Mountain visitor learn about Texas high life where trust is more important than anything else whether it is with horse or human.

I am a devoted Lisa Wingate fan ~~ I have read all of her books now and cannot wait for her newest one! This one happened to be out at a bookstore I was browsing through when finished with a doctor's appointment and naturally, I grabbed it! Once again, Wingate didn't disappoint me!
This one focuses on Lindsey, one of the trio that has dominated the Texas books. Lindsey is Laura's twin and Collie's best friend. Lindsey had just sent her daughter off to Mexico to spend a summer with her dad, Lindsey's ex-husband. Lost and bereft of companionship, Lindsey traveled down to Texas to see Laura. Together, Laura and Collie hatched a plan to get Lindsey out of her rut ~~ and sent her to Collie's cousin's horse ranch undercover to find out what happened to the missing dinosaur tracks. Taking a class in horse psychology, Lindsey finds out what matters in life and falls in love with Zach, one of the locals.
It is a fun book ~~ a fast read and enjoyable. Lindsey is the more put-together of the three and more organized. Laura and Collie are featured briefly in this book but it's a focus on Lindsey and Zach. It has a bit of folklore in there and a bit of history and it's just fun reading! Perfect for those lazy summer days coming up! Once you've read Wingate's books, you're always drawn back to her characters over and over again!

This is my favorite of Ms. Wingate's novels and I've read them all. It is funny--very funny--and the romance is very special from the start. Lindsey is hard to like at times but she grows and changes, a control freak who falls in love and gives up control.
Best of all is Mr. Grits.

I loved this book - as I've loved ALL of Lisa Wingate's books. As usual, I never want the stories to end. I am a devoted fan who has started a small following here in Pennsylvania. Lisa Wingate's books are not only fun to read, but the touch the heart and comfort the soul.
Lisa, keep on writing - and tell us what happens to Lindsay, Laura, Collie and their families!
