About the book:
It’s a Battle of Wills … and Love Is on the Line!
Rural switchboard operator Georgie Gail is proud of her independence in a man’s world . . . which makes it twice as vexing when the telephone company sends a man to look over her shoulder.
Dashing Luke Palmer is more than he appears though. He’s a Texas Ranger working undercover to infiltrate a notorious gang of train robbers. Repairing telephones and tangling with this tempestuous woman is the last thing he wants to do. But when his stakeout puts Georgie in peril, he realizes more than his job is on the line.

What I Thought:
Don your hats, and jump right in ladies! Georgie Gail is an independent woman, in a man’s world. As telephone operator in her town she is privy to all the happenings around her. When Luke, the new troubleman comes walking in trying to over taker her space, there are sparks to be seen! What I love most about this book is being transported back to the turn of the century when party lines were in their early stages. It is hard to imagine communication being limited to a means like that of the telephone switchboards with multiple listeners, and horribly unreliable connections, given our current technologies.
I was worried at first that this story would be all to predictable. Much to my delight, Deeanne threw in plenty of twists to keep the story moving along. With ladies of the town, bandits hiding amongst them, hidden identities, shooting contests, budding romance, and so much more, Deeanne’s book is sure to capture your attention and keep you guessing until the end!

The author has added humor, mystery, suspense and love in this very entertaining book. This was such a cute book and fun read. I told the author my Dad was from Brenham and his last name Przyborski. It was an odd coincidence. I am a Texan and have spent a lot of time in the Brenham area so this book held my interest to say the least.
