Quotes
for DeWanna Pace and Dia Hunter novels:
BE MY TEXAS VALENTINE
"10 out of 10! DeWanna Pace and her fellow authors have again worked wonders to create an anthology that touches the hearts of their readers.I
greatly enjoyed all four of these stories, but the last one by DeWanna
Pace, Sweet Talk, is my favorite. I loved the incorporation of
the lovebirds as a way to bring two lonely people together and make
them realize their feelings for one another. It was an interesting
addition to the story."
--Eye On Romance
"Four Stars!" --Romantic Times
5 Spurs! "DeWanna Pace has crafted a charming story that
is all about believing in oneself. The chatty lovebirds are a delight,
and JoEmma is a disarming heroine who deserves to find her happily ever
after. Be My Texas Valentine will make your heart smile as you
follow the trials and tribulations of four couples who need to believe
in the magic that is love."

tales of couples trapped by a snowstorm falling miraculously in love.”

both funny and heartwarming. They are proof that opposites do
attract. I enjoyed reading A Texas Christmas; it was a great anthology

holiday romance and made me smile."-- Two Lips Reviews on Naughty or
Nice by DeWanna Pace
GIVE ME A TEXAS OUTLAW
This
gang of authors turns outlaws, the ultimate bad boys, into some of the
most dangerous, sexy and fine heroes of the season. Each novella is as
unique as the author who penned the tale and is as exciting, action
packed and sensual as a full-length novel.
--4 Stars, Romantic Times
GIVE ME A TEXAS COWBOY
"I
am amazed at how well each of these authors not only tells their own
story about a Texan outlaw, but how well they blend these stories into
a collective whole. These four stories don't read like separate
entities but as though they belong together. They each capture the
spirit of the West at a time when life was hard and heroes were
welcome. Each story depicts an outlaw, but an outlaw that we want to
get to know. A man or woman forced by circumstances to become a
fugitive and yet, able to retain their internal sense of justice. The
heart and drive of the men and women who went West to seek their
fortunes as well as the dangers they faced are all part of these
stories. Each story is one to be savored. Despite being short stories,
they feel as fulfilling as full length novels and leave the reader
satiated." - - Eye on Romance
“Will warm your heart and bring a smile to your lips.”

GIVE ME A
TEXAS RANGER Anthology:
"In
"The Perfect Match" by DeWanna Pace: Ms. Pace's tale of
boxing in the late 1890's was a revelation to me. The context of
the tale was one that I had never considered and knew nothing
about. Bringing such a unique background to her tale of the Texas
Rangers sets Ms. Pace's story apart from all the others.
. .10 out of 10, This
book is a definite must-read!"

“4 and a half stars. GIVE
ME A COWBOY is a wonderful group of
stories. I do not think that I have ever read a book quite like this
before. Four separate
stories by four different authors,
yet you will not be able to tell it from simply reading it from cover to
cover. All four books are
set in the same town, during the same week.
The stories mesh together perfectly.
It definitely makes me want to be in Kasota Springs, Texas during
the 4th of July Rodeo in 1890.
It is enough to have me saying GIVE ME A COWBOY too.”

West.
…In each story a woman unexpectedly
enters the life of an uplifting, inspirational and unabashedly romantic.
