Summary: PLEASE STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES...
Review: I've spent the last two days in the wonderful, and now very familiar town of Valentine, Oklahoma. I worried, I laughed, I cried and I even prayed with each of Curtiss Ann's characters---folks I know and will remember for a very long time to come.

Summary: Another delightful visit to Valentine, Oklahoma!
Review: Readers will be delighted to find "romance writer extraordinare" Curtiss Ann Matlock is treating them to another exciting visit to Valentine, Oklahoma. In Curtiss Ann's previous novel, "Lost Highways, we were introduced to Rainey Valentine and her whole slightly-strange family. In this new novel, we meet Rainey's sister Charlene and learn her story of heartache and renewing love.Charlene is devastated when her no-good husband Joey decides to move in with the town tramp. However, this might just be the best thing to ever happen to the spoilt, somewhat whiney Charlene. She is forced to take a good look at her life, and decide exactly what she is going to do. But love is not far away from Charlene. Mason MacCoy has loved her from afar for as long as he can remember, and with a little tenderness, he is determined to win the hand of the woman he adores. In her wise and gentle way with words, Curtiss Ann Matlock's emotional and meaningful story line leaves readers with the message that everyone needs someone to love them and for them to love. I enjoy the fact that Curtiss Ann can convey a sense of passion and sensuality between her characters without having them fall into bed every other page. This is a woman who knows what the meaning of real love is. I also enjoyed and could relate to the more mature character of Charlene, who is in her forties. Driving Lessons is a keeper!
