About book Under A Texas Sky (2013)

Well, I liked it until near the end. First of all, the sex out of nowhere. I just wish I'd been able to tell at the beginning something like that might happen, then I wouldn't have read it! Then, she is molested and keeps on going like literally NOTHING HAPPENED?! Are you kidding? Sorry, but I don't think this author has any real experience with sexual abuse, otherwise she would know that just doesn't make sense. You can't just walk away like that. It doesn't happen. Don't get me started on the dynamite and how it hurts noone. Sorry, but I never want to see this book again. It was just so good until the last section! Under A Texas Sky Growing up poor and largely abandoned on the streets of 1920s Chicago, Anna Finnegan has struggled her entire life. Until a talent manager discovers her and brings her into the world of theater. Now years later she's about to start shooting her first movie. Arriving on location in Redstone, Texas, in 1932, Anna steps off the train and collides into Dalton Barnes. He's lived in Redstone all his life and hates how the big city out-of-towners are gawking at the small-town locals like him. It doesn't take long, though, for Anna and Dalton to discover fireworks of a different sort between them. But the movie is plagued by one trouble after another, including a fire that destroys an elaborate set and costumes ruined by huge splashes of paint. Who is sabotaging the film and why? To what lengths will they go? When Anna finds herself threatened, how will she and the love blossoming between her and Dalton survive? ReviewDorothy Garlock paints an amazing textured world of the film industry in the 1930s. We are on location in a little Texas town where there is as much drama off set as one. Anne, our pull her self out of the gutter heroine, meets our blacksmith hero who has troubles of his own. Garlock's books are always poignant and richly detailed and this one is no different. If you want to be submerged into a unique historical moment, this is a great book for you. The romance here is compelling as well. However, all the drama on the sides with villains and family takes away from the relationship a bit for me. The historical fiction is top notch. As a romance book, I am giving this book 3 stars. Its good but not great as historical fiction it deserves more. I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.
