Nobody in Herald Springs can believe that their small town served as the
scene for a major criminal showdown. With the events of the annual gala
behind them, they just want to get back to their normal lives, but the
members of the local “drink and gossip club” know the drama is far from
over.
Brooke’s got a stalker, Annabeth has a criminal mastermind bent on her destruction, and even Vi is being taken for a ride by someone she thought was her friend. If only they could turn to each other for help, things might not be so bad—but with the women at odds with one another and only Jesse in good graces with the rest of the group, that isn’t likely to happen any time soon.
Their world is going to hell in a hand basket, so why not throw a party to brighten everyone’s mood? With Ligia’s help, Brooke arranges a charity beauty pageant the town won’t soon forget, especially when the bad guys show up and attempt to finish what they started earlier that year…

My Impressions:
Texas
and Tiaras is the 2nd book of the Book Cellar Mystery collection,
following Walker Texas Wife. I am hooked on this series. It took me forever to
pick up and read the first book. I kept putting it off because the title really
did not speak to me, but once I did I was trapped into the wonderful world
created by this amazing author. The follow up book is just as amazing and
wonderful as the first. I will say that without reading the first book, you
really miss so much of the characters background and connecting stories that
you cannot appreciate Texas and Tiaras to its full extent and potential. The authors
do try and connect the stories, but having read the first one I felt so much
was missing if you try and read this as a stand-alone book. I adore the way
faith is worked into each of these stories in a gentle, nonjudgmental, real
way. You see how faith works differently in each character and the struggles
they have from adultery, domestic violence, relationships, friendship, etc.
Overall the book is amazing and always leaves you with a great cliff hanger so
you cannot wait for the next one to come out.
