Love Finds You in Humble, Texas by Anita Higman is the latest in the Love Finds You series by Summerside Press. This sweet, lighthearted read will leave you wishing the characters were real . . . and lived next door.




Trudie Abernathy is like many women you know: warm, funny and often imperfect.  Her sister Lane is the sister you’d love to have but are glad you don’t: beautiful, ambitious and determined to help Trudie improve.

As Trudie’s thirtieth birthday approaches, Lane insists that what she needs most in life is a new look and a new chance at love.  She treats Trudie to a makeover and insists on allowing a blind date to share their dinner celebration.  When Trudie hears that the date is a man that Lane has “passed” on, she is sure she will be forced to spend  her birthday with someone atrocious.  But, when she finds herself sitting next to Mason Wimberley, a handsome and charming businessman who seems to “get” her quirky sense of humor, Trudie is smitten.

As the dinner evolves, so does a love triangle. Lane realizes her feelings for Mason as she watches him dote on her sister.

Unaware of Lane’s feelings, Mason makes his affection for Trudie clear and immediately begins to pursue her.  But when Lane reveals to Trudie that she is in love with Mason, Trudie removes herself from the relationship out of a greater love for her sister than for herself.  Still, she is devastated and struggles to get her mind around the choice she has made and to get Mason to divert his attention to Lane.

This is a funny and engaging look at the lengths that people will go to in order to protect and care for the ones they love.  This love triangle, shared by sisters who care tremendously for one another, gives an interesting angle that will have you boucing back and forth between characters and choosing sides.  Anita Higman pens an enjoyable read that will leave you smiling from the building kinship you feel with her characters.
