Very Pleasant listen

This book was very pleasant and a very good story. Not a waste of your time. It makes you think about what is important in your day to day living. The Narrator was very good. She has a smooth mellow voice that made the listen that much more pleasant.
I bought the book for a 4.95 special and it was definitely worth it. Not sure if I would have used a credit but it was a good story.

Feel good

Even though this story is like the tiresome Hallmark template, it is a good one and well written. Full of good feelings and charm. Great characters. Meaningful.

The narrator is very good. Pleasing to listen to, great characters' voices, good acting.

Enjoyable Listen

What did you love best about Texas Cooking?

It's a refreshing departure from all the violence and tension out there. A sweet story with Christian undertone. The story is plausible enough to have actually happened.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The overview of rural life and the rewards of being part of a mostly tolerant and generous community.

What three words best describe Johanna Parker’s performance?

Young adequate narrator

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Many parts bought a smile and a laugh....nice!

Any additional comments?

If you,re looking for an easy, enjoyable listen with a sprinkle of old fashioned morality thrown in - this is it.

I truly enjoyed Texas Cooking!

Lisa Wingate’s Texas Cooking stoke my heart! The tale is so believable, I found myself in the Texas Hill Country all over again! The people were as friendly as usual, I could see their smiles and hear their laughs. And the romance...! I read it straight through because I just didn’t want to put it down! If you want to find yourself deep in the heart of Texas, take time to feel This novels joy in living!

Sweet love story

I enjoyed the whole story from beginning to the ending lot of twists and turns when you're unsure about falling in love. I especially liked city girl meets cowboy.
