Enjoy Return Of The Stardust Cowgirl (Lucy Hatch, #4) Expressed By Marsha Moyer Contained In Copy
have loved the Lucy Hatch series and hope there will be more, A lovely conclusion. Room for more to be told, but really, I'm ok with leaving the Hatches/Farrells here, They are in a good place, Just finished this! Loved it, Am sad that the Lucy and Ash series is over, : Know mom is too. In this series, each book gets progressively worse than the previous one, I also don't like the constant recap of not only the previous books but the current one, Some of us are able to remember what we just readpages ago, Lots like a Billie Letts book, Fun to read. Marsha's last title in the Lucy Hatch amp Ash Farrell series, Sorry to say goodbye to the characters, . . I recommend reading the whole series, Typical Moyer work. A fun jaunt This book ranked up there with the first two in the series, I was glad to see Moyer back to her old style, Though this book could be the last in the series, it left itself open for more, I hope she comes through with another one! Easy read, “Its sticking around when things get tough that you find out what somebodys worth, But I guess you already know that, ”
So says Lucy Hatch to her stepdaughter, Denny, who has run away from her fledgling music career in Nashville to escape marriage troubles, Now back home in Texas, Denny learns that leaving her past behind wont be so simple: shes pregnant, Lucy is also at a turning point, The flower shop where shes worked for years is closing, and her husband, Ash Farrell, is finding that living one day at a time is harder than he thought it would be.
Everything used to stay the same in the little town of Mooney now big changes are in the airand everyone has to shift their plans to embrace the future.
As Denny stops running and finally faces the music, Lucy works to regain her own footing by helping the man she loves find his,
Heartwarming, funny, and distinctly Southern, Return of the Stardust Cowgirl explores the joys and sorrows of life in a small town, the complexity of love, and the bonds that we share only with family.
This wasn't my favorite in this series, It seems like the characters are doomed to repeat their mistakes over and over, but it wrapped up things neatly so nobody was left hanging at the end of the book.
"I used to think love was infinite, . . But our days are numbered, every one, and what we don't spend we don't get to take with us, We need to wallow in it, use it up" p,
This is the last of the marvelous series of the Lucy Hatch books, I would really recommend all readers to read the books in the right order because they read like one big book,
The characters are still as heartwarming and funny while dealing with real amp everyday life in a small town in Northeast Texas,
Being a big Country Music fan, the regular reference to Country songs, the life of musicians amp the music industry was a pure delight to me,
There was a moment there that I thought Ash, one of the most intriguing amp interesting characters of the book, would not find his way back to his old self but I'm glad and thrilled that Marsha Moyer gave all these characters the "balmy" amp gratifying ending they so deserve.
"Return of the Stardust Cowgirl" is last in the Lucy Hatch series by author Marsha Moyer and it doesn't disappoint!
To make the most of this series, there are two things you need to know:
.
This isn't your usual, fluffy, boymeetsgirl chick lit, Marsha Moyer has an amazing ability to capture human nature and to tell somewhat gritty stories based in reality, Definitely more satisfying than a bit of fluff,
. This series truly needs to be read in order to understand each character and their "journey",
Thoroughly enjoyable with a satisfying end, My only complaint was that a book in this series wasn't dedicated to Bailey and Geneva two thoroughly likeable characters with much more to reveal! I liked this book.
It was certainly better than Heartbreak Town, but I didn't like it as much as the first two in the series, I never really got into the character of Denny so I didn't really care much for her parts, But it was a nice conclusion to the Lucy and Ash story, Satisfying final chapter to the Lucy Hatch series The fourth and final installment in the "Lucy Hatch Novels, " A very satisfying conclusion to the series although I'm a little sad to say goodbye to Lucy and Ash and their family, This has been one of the best surprise packages I've discovered in my years of reading, I dearly loved the storyline and the relationships that built and grew deeper in meaning with each and every book, A little bit country, a whole lot of loving, and some hard knocks along the way make this series a standout for me, Marsha Moyer writes a welldeveloped, realistic and even flowing storyline, I'm a big fan of small town romances and especially those built around families with complex issues with which they are dealing and my trip to Mooney, Texas was wellworth the time spent.
ARC rec via bookmooch It was a bittersweet moment to finish this book because it is the last in the Lucy Hatch series, What a fitting finale to one of my most treasured heroines! Really enjoyed this fourth installment in the life of Lucy Hatch, She continues to try and sort out her life in spite of many life altering events, Originally posted on Sarahsbookshelf. com:
A million years ago, or what seems like a million years, I received a copy of this book by Marsha Moyer, This is actually the final novel in the Lucy Hatch series, none of which I had read previously, But even not reading those books in advance, I never felt like I was missing anything major,
The story is told in the first person by two people, Lucy and Denny, Denny is a country singer who has run into some misfortune recently and returns home to lick her wounds at home, Lucy, her stepmother, is dealing with many family issues of her own, The story is much more Womens Lit than anything else, Even the more dramatic moments of the story were very watered down, If I were giving a rating to this book, it would definitely be PG, The writing was good, but it was definitely a softball as far as content, even when the opportunity to go deeper was presented,
Lucy was a character that Id be interested to find out more about, She was complex, flawed, nonjudgmental, and genuine, which definitely made it realistic that Denny often gravitated to her for life advice, Denny was a little annoying at times, but the more we learn about her past the more leeway Im willing to give her as a reader, Some of the side stories were
interesting, but I felt there was a lot unanswered by the end of the story, leaving the reader to make their own assumptions of how things end.
I didnt feel that the story didnt end, I personally just wanted a little more, But I guess thats life Years after I started the Lucy Hatch series, I finally got bookthrough interlibrary loan and finished it,
