How does one mend a broken heart? Sally is nearing 30 years old and working part time as a bartender and songstress at her family's restaurant in Port Mansfield-one of the best-kept secrets of the wealthy and indulgent sport fishermen of Texas. It's also a popular port off the Gulf of Mexico for the oil companies and commercial fishermen, attracting quite a variety of humanity. And it's here that Sally meets a mysterious oil supply boat captain named Andy. Bittersweet Texas is the story of a young woman learning to love again, and her unexpected and complex relationship with Andy will change both of their lives as they face an uncertain future. Set in the 1970s, this sweet, serendipitous novel features exciting twists, humor, and heartfelt emotion-the perfect book for the romantic at heart.
REVIEW (Based on a True Story)
This book was written for the romantic and the romantic at heart. A lovely book with strong characters. A young woman on the rebound trying to learn to fall in love again. She has a relationship with Andy. The bad thing is this relationship is a very complicated one. The relationship may change their futures for ever. The book's setting is in the 1970's. The book is't just a book . It is a book about characters that can be related too as if it is today and you are there, perhaps it happened to you. Even if you're not into horses, you'll find this book to be a romantic comedy that has lots of twists and turns, humor and romance. A little for everyone. I found the cover very enticing to get you to open the book and read. Great cover.
I was given a complimentary copy of BITTERSWEET TEXAS from the author, Sally Thompson and OutSkirtsPress for my view of the book. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 4 STARS.

Bittersweet Texas is her first novel and features one of the more important adventures she felt the need to share.
