Never Say Never by Lisa Wingate (WITH GIVEAWAY!)

Product Description
Kai Miller floats through life like driftwood tossed by waves. She's never put down roots in any one place--and she doesn't plan to. But when a chaotic hurricane evacuation lands her in Daily, Texas, she begins to think twice about her wayfaring existence. And when she meets hometown-boy Kemp Eldridge, she can almost picture settling down in Daily--until she discovers he may be promised to someone else. Daily has always been a place of refuge for those the wind blows in, but for Kai, it looks like it will be just another place to leave behind. Then again, Daily always has a few surprises in store--especially when Aunt Donetta has cooked up a scheme.

My Review
I was taken back by the wonderful skill Lisa has. She is able to put me right in the middle of the hurricane, I could almost smell Rador and Hawkeye (the dogs)!

Lisa's writing is amazing but the story itself didn't do much for me. I was never truly engaged to the point of losing sleep over it. To me, that is when a book is great.

Though the story was good and who doesn't love a good love story it just didn't grab me.

I do plan on reading another titles by Lisa (and I am open to suggestions as to which ones you all like!)

Because I have this next to new wonderful book sitting on my bookshelf, I'd like to give someone else the chance to read it!
