Love On The Line

BUY BUTTONS (in ABC Order):

Rural switchboard operator Georgie Gail is proud of her independence in a man's world ... which makes it twice as vexing when the telephone company sends a man to look over her shoulder.

Dashing Luke Palmer is more than he appears though. He's a Texas Ranger working undercover to infiltrate a notorious gang of train robbers. Repairing telephones and tangling with this tempestuous woman is the last thing he wants to do. But when his stakeout puts Georgie in peril, he realizes more than his job is on the line.

Gist does it again with a superb cast of characters. She is a master at weaving together her trademark independent heroine, entertaining action based on historical events and love that melts your heart. Her latest project [Love on the Line] will certainly keep her fans longing for more.
RT Book Reviews gives Four Stars * * **
Love on the Line charmed me from beginning to end. The story’s authentic setting brings the entire town into the novel via the telephone “party line” and weaves breath-holding high tension and laugh-out-loud moments throughout the tale. However, what impressed me most about Gist’s novel was her ability to create flesh-and-blood characters — real and believable people — from mere words and imagination.
Quintessentially Quilly, Charlene Quilly
Deeanne Gist is one of my favorite Christian historical fiction authors. I find her characters so fun, sassy and down to earth.

A good blend of drama, action, humor, and suspense kept the pages turning
Daysong Reflections
In many novels I find that while the heroine is an open book, the hero remains a mystery till the very end. Here I felt that at the end of the novel I knew the hero as well as the heroine ... This is a truly good love story.

Georgie and Luke are all you’ve come to expect with a Deeanne Gist book—characters with a Hepburn-Tracy appeal. If you’re too young to understand that, just know you’ll love a quirky, headstrong heroine and virile, no-nonsense hero.

Reviews from the Heart, ...gives 5 out of 5 stars
Personally? I wouldn’t give two bits for a truck full of ladies’ romance novels. It’s always the same thing... But then came Love on the Line, by Deeanne Gist. This is my first reading of this author, and it won’t be the last…
