I've loved several of Dee's past books and flew through the stories quickly, but Love on the Line fell flat for me. I was never quite sure what year the book was set in, though Texas came alive for me. It dragged on and I forced myself to finish reading to the end. I felt like we knew more about the birds Georgie loved so much then we did about Georgie herself. Actually, Georgie's obsession with the birds was kind of weird. Thanks to Georgie and Luke stealing lots of kisses and staring at each other constantly, their romance was based on physical attraction, without much depth. Faith was very scarce in this book too, especially compared to some of Dee's other books. The history included in the book was well researched, but that's expected for Deeanne's stories, and it felt like some history was dropped in here, dropped in there, instead of woven in as well as Deeanne usually does. Overall, this was on okay book, but Deeanne's written much better books prior to Love on the Line.
