LONE STAR PRINCESS by Lenora Worth is the second book in the Castles of Dallas series. I enjoyed reading this contemporary romance novel with all the intensity and intrigue that UNDERCOVER PRINCESS, the first book in the series, brought. We finally get to see Annabelle grow up and mature into a lovely, strong-willed woman. While this is the second book in the series, I feel you would understand the characters backstories and family drama better if you read UNDERCOVER PRINCESS first. They really need to be read in order. Worth's writing lets us experience the changes and maturity that Annabelle goes through from an attention seeking party girl to a young woman who is determined to make a fresh start. Of course, all this seems possible until Johnny makes his way back into her life. He always had an attraction for her rebel side. Johnny has gotten Annabelle out of quite a few scrapes throughout their history together. Even though his attraction is stronger than ever, he cannot act on his feelings because Annabelle is clearly a different woman now.

LONE STAR PRINCESS is written in such a way that makes you feel as if you are talking to a friend. The characters are relatable with real-life drama and everyday problems that many face in their day to day lives. A lovely written romance novel that is sure to stay with you. A romance story that is full of drama, family craziness, sisterly love, and a second chance at the one who got away. The Castles of Dallas series keeps getting better with each book. LONE STAR PRINCESS would make a lovely beach read or a great summer read.
