5.0 out of 5 stars
back in town and here to stay, 18 July 2007
i really liked this book and think it has got very unfair reviews by some others. i understood daisy's reasons for doing what she did in the book, maybe didnt agree with them myself but i understood and sympathised. she is also a really likeable character as is Jackson who is the hero of this book. i also undertsand why he is angry about what she did. what you have to understand though is that being eighteen, in that situation and not thinking he loved you nemore...well it would scare you out of all logical reason. besides the "secret" that almost everyone could guess anyway, this book is very addictive to read, and fast-paced. the characters are easy to like and you wish them together every moment. the sex scenes are sizzling and the ending is so lovely you are left with a big ol' smile on your face. my advice? read the synopsis and if it sounds like something you'd like read it. don't listen to all other ppl who just come to slag a book off on the internet. i thought it was GREAT!

A great read, 14 Jan 2007
This book as got to be the best book i've read i a long time. When reading of the character of jack to can see that he as trust problems, which have prevented him from finding love, and when the only person in his life he has ever been in love with, comes back into town he does he dame hardest to stay away from her, but daisy has other ideas.
There were times in the book i wanted to bash Jack and Daisy round the head, because it's so clear that they are in love with each other but don't want to do anything about it beacuse of their history.
I've given this book four stars as it really is a great book but i felt it was a bit rusted at the end, but i would recommend this book to anyone who has loved and lost but then found it again.

A little obvious, but still a great read!, 25 Mar 2008
Having never read A Little Black Dress book before, I had no idea what to expect. I'd also never read a book by Rachel Gibson before, so I started reading Daisy's Back in Town with a completely open mind.
Daisy's Back in Town is the tale of - yes, you've guessed it - Daisy Monroe. She's arrived back in Lovett, Texas after fifteen years away. And things have changed big style. Daisy left town after marrying her lover's best friend, and after the death of her husband she's back to put a few things straight. You see, when Daisy left town she was pregnant with her childhood sweetheart's baby. Thing is, Jack Parrish had just lost both his parents in a horrific car crash, and rather than relying on Daisy for support, he pushes her away.
Pregnant and terrified, Daisy confides in her other best friend, Steven, who promptly offers to marry her. Both Jack and Steven have been in love with Daisy for a long time, and Steven never had any idea about Daisy's relationship with Jack until she confessed she was pregnant. But he does the honorable thing, and they marry. Needless to say, Jack is less than impressed, and they leave town to have a life together, with Steven bringing up Jack's child.
Jack is left heartbroken and vows never to let a woman get close enough to him emotionally to hurt him like Daisy did. Trouble is, he wasn't betting on Daisy blasting back into his life with a big announcement - that Nathan is his son, not Steven's. As the truth comes tumbling out, everyone involved is thrown into turmoil, and life in Lovett will never be the same.
I really enjoyed this book. Although the eventual plot developments were a little obvious, it was incredibly well written, funny and sexy. The descriptions of sexual chemistry and the act itself were very hot, without being graphic or obscene. Definitely more naughty than your average chick-lit. I thought all the characters were well portrayed and I felt myself rooting for some, and booing others off the stage (theoretically of course). This book didn't totally rock my world because as I said, I saw the ending coming, but I enjoyed it cover to cover and would read a book by this author again, no questions asked.
