—Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW on Lone Heart Pass
“I fell in love with this small town with its secrets, residents who are, for the most part, good-hearted, and characters who came alive on the pages quite easily. The writing is smooth, the plot interesting, and the people we meet are as diverse as can be found in any small town across the country.”

“Immediately Jodi Thomas draws the reader in, with intriguing characters in the middle of odd situations right in the middle of a little dusty town in Texas...Two things Jodi Thomas does well. Makes a small town in Texas come alive and she writes characters who are warm and very likable. The plot has some mystery, some romance, and sheer good-heartedness. Perfect for an escape read.”
