Publisher Description
From best-selling author Lisa Wingate comes Never Say Never, an enthralling blend of small-town charm and wholesome romance. Kai Miller has never put down roots and doesn't intend to change. Yet when a hurricane evacuation brings her to Daily, Texas, she begins to reexamine her tumbleweed ways. After meeting Kemp Eldridge, she can almost see herself settling down-until her dreams are dashed when she hears he's promised to another. But locals have learned to never say never-especially when Aunt Donnetta is cooking up a scheme.

"I have to say this is the first Christian/romance/thriller that I've ever read, and I was very surprised that I liked it. It was free on Kindle, and I was in a hotel room on a business trip and not sure what to read next. Chapters alternate between Donnetta a married senior citizen and Kai, a young single gal who works on a cruise ship. They end up trapped together during a hurricane and find their way to Donneta's hometown. They both have to find their faith and love again. It sounds totally cheesey as I describe it, but I like Ms. Wingate's writing style and her characters. There are some good moral lessons in the book that are subtle, as opposed to some Christian novels that get really preachy."

" I did not read the first two books in the series but I do not feel like that was a problem as I understood all that was happening. However, I feel like the first 350 pages gave a story and then in five pages it was completed - lots left hanging. Just so so. "

" This book started slow, but once you got into it, I really enjoyed it. It revolves around a young girl, three older women, and what happens to them during and following a hurricane. It is a story of relationships, and interactions amount friends and strangers. "

" Not my favorite, but still good. Nice to "see" the same characters again. "

" A very sweet book. The town of Daily, Texas reminds me of the little country town in Doc Hollywood. Whenever I read one of Lisa Wingate's books I feel like I have wrapped myself up in the softest fleece blanket and I am sitting in front of the fire unable to pull myself away. "
— Jen, 6/2/2012 -

" I almost didn't take this book from the bookmobile, based on the title and the cover picture, but the description on the back cover convinced me to try it. I'm glad I did, because it was a very heart-warming story, with enough twists and turns to keep it interesting throughout. "

" This was a fun book to listen to. I only wish my library had the other 3 in the series either in audio or written. It brought hurricane evacuations to life, with a bit of fiction and happily ever after added in. "

" Just picked up this book at random. Was really boring in the beginning and not sure whether I would finish it or not, but it was great. A love story with alot of heart. It talked about how our past can get in the way of our future and mar our judgement. "
