Summary: Hard to put down
Review: This book is really hard to put down. You have to read it to the last page. Chase had just lost his wife, Tanya (Texas! Lucky) and become a drunk and risk his life by once more joining the rodeo. Marcie Johnson, who had been with Tanya the day Tanya died saw Chase when she was entertaining her clients. Seeing Chase in trouble, she offers lending him money to save his company. Chase who didn't want to own her anything refuse. Marcie offers to marry him, so that her money become his money. Chase agrees. Everything is alright until Chase finds out that the house they had been living in is the house his wife, Tanya, had been thinking of buying. They had a fight and then Chase finds out in a bad way that Marcie is pregrant. Chase is not prepared to get another woman pregnant, and he really freaks out. This book is really good. =>

Summary: Heathcliff with a Texas Accent
Review: Chase Tyler is a man broken by tragedy. The oldest brother of the tight-knit Tyler clan, Chase becomes dark and brooding after the tragic loss of his pregnant wife in a horrible car accident. In fact he is SO dark and brooding that he gives Bronte's Heathcliff a run for the money. Only this time, the setting is Texas, not the English moors. No matter. Bent on self-destruction, Chase is now a hard-drinking, self-pitying rodeo rider, oblivious of the family who loves him and needs him to help save the Tyler business. Along comes Marcie, who has known and loved Chase since childhood. It was she who was driving the doomed car; she survived her injuries, but not her guilt or her secret love for Chase. Knowing he will never love her back, but desperate to redeem him, she makes him an offer he could well refuse: She will become his wife in return for the cash to save the family business. Chase eventually accepts, but this is no happily-ever-after tale. In a word: Chase treats Marcie like dirt. And it is hard to read. Throughout most of the book, the big, brooding cowboy (who of course is gorgeous like all the Tylers) greats his devoted, shy wife with barely concealed contempt. In bed, he uses her for his own pleasure. Out of bed, he ignores her, is rude and curt, and in every way lets her know that she is not the love of his life, and never will be. Of course WE know that he secretly loves her. And it takes a harrowing near-tragedy to make him see that fact. Has Chase waited too long to realize that he loves Marcie as much as she loves him? Is he, through his own stupidity, about to suffer unspeakable tragedy twice in a lifetime? Read it and find out. You might want to kick him a few times, and Marcie too, for loving such a jerk, but of course in the end....well, no more hints. This is a great book for a long, cold night, written with talent and insight. I recommend it.

Summary: This book was suspenseful
Review: Having read Texas! Lucky and enjoyed it I was excited to read Texas! Chase. It was very thrilling and since I knew the backstory it was very easy to follow. Chase and Marcie make one of the most tormented and hot couples of I've ever read about. The ending was great and I'm looking foward to finishing the trilogy with Texas! Sage. I'm sure it will be as good as the first two.

Summary: Is this really the Sandra Brown who wrote Envy and Alibi?
Review: I agree with the reader from Sacramento and am also surprised at the high rating this book received. I'm not sure how readers can even compare this book to some of her other work. I was completely bored with it and only kept reading it because of Brown's reputation as a great author, hoping it would improve. And she is a great author, but I don't seem to enjoy her contemporary romances. This book was dull (putting it mildly) compared to her other books. Her historicals are good. Her suspense/romance are wonderful, but her contemporaries just don't cut it. But for the reader in Sacramento, don't give up on Brown. She really is a spectacular author, even though if her name hadn't been on the cover of this book, I never would have guessed that she wrote it. In fact, after reading some of her books such as Tiding of Great Joy, Standoff and this one, I sometimes wonder if there is someone else out there parading around as Sandra Brown. I've been consistently disappointed with her just plain romances. I recently read Envy and I couldn't put it down. It's a top notch read. I also loved the Alibi, Witness, Fat Tuesday,Breath of Scandal, Mirror Image, to name a few. But those books had quite a bit of suspense/thriller plot to them and that's where she shines. After reading Texas Chase, I'm not in a big hurry to read the other two in the trilogy. The only reason I gave this book 1 star is because I had to.

Summary: Hero, Chase was a complete jerk w/ no redeeming qualities
Review: I am surprised by the high ratings for this book. I thought this was a horrible book. The plot was good, and I loved the heroine, Marcie. Marcie was a very strong, confident, and knew exactly what she wanted out of life. And what she wanted was Chase. It was a little creepy that she bought the house Chase's wife wanted before she died though. But I couldn't believe the hero, Chase was such a complete jerk. He had no redeeming qualities what so ever.... he never seems to mature throughout the whole book... He's so self-centered in the reading of this book that it just made my blood boil, because I wanted something bad to happen to him. Puuleaseee! What is there that is attractive at all about this beefcake jerk with the maturity of a spoiled brat. ... This is the second Sandra Brown book I have read. ... But "Texas! Chase" has got to be one of the worst books I have read. I don't believe I will try to read the other Texas books. The other characters, brother and sister of this book were not interesting characters either. Books about them would probably just be about torturous too.

Summary: CLASS PRESIDENT FALLS FOR BOOKWORM
Review: I HAVE READ A FEW OF THE REVIEWS ABOUT THIS BOOK AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE FEEL THAT CHASE WAS SUCH A HORRIBLE GUY FOR THE WAY HE TREATED MARCIE. I THOUGHT THEY BOTH DISHED OUT EQUAL PUNISHMENTS ON EACH OTHER. I DONT THINK MARCIE WAS A VICTIM AT ALL IF ANYTHING SHE GOT EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTED, CHASE! SHE'S BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM SINCE GRADE SCHOOL. WHAT MORE COULD SHE ASK FOR?
I THOUGHT THIS ONE OF THE TRIOLOGY WAS THE BEST. THE OTHER TWO WERE VERY GOOD TOO BUT I THINK THIS ONE HAD MORE UMPH.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FANS OF HER NEWER BOOKS YOU MIGHT WANT TO STAY CLEAR. THIS IS STRICKLY ROMANCE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SUSPENSE. I'VE HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT "IS THIS THE AUTHOR WHO WROTE ENVY AND ALIBI". PERSONALLY I'M TIRED OF HEARING THAT. MOST OF HER EARLY STUFF ARE JUST ROMANCE. SO IF YOU WANT TO COMPLAIN THEN DONT READ HER OLD BOOKS AND JUST STAY WITH HER NEWER STUFF. I PERSONALLY LIKE THEM ALL.

Summary: I love this one
Review: I love this one. When I reread my Texas!Trilogy this is the only one I linger on. I read it completely. I guess I am in love with Chase Tyler. I love him. He is a jerk of course but a loveable jerk. I love Marcie too. She and I share so many traits. She didn't desire just any husband like another reviewer says but she desires the man of her dreams. The only man she ever loved. I laughed and cried reading this book, I loved the characters and the plot. I loved the fighting and the making up. I love Sandra Brown. Nuf said.

Summary: OK read, but seems dated.
Review: I loved this book and the entire Texas! series when they first came out. When I was going through some old books, I remembered how much I liked this one and reread it. It's amazing how quickly it has aged. It's still a pleasant read, but the idea of a successful thirty-five year old woman being so desperate to marry that she would propose to a man she hardly knew seems incredibly old-fashioned. Admittedly I might feel this way because I'm older and more successful than I was when I first read this book and can't begin to fathom why anyone wouldn't love the lifestyle, but it still smacks of old-fashioned thinking. I actually looked at the date the book was published and was shocked to find that it came out in 1991. Also, being a Texan, the dark days of the oil bust seem so far away now. Anyway, this is a nice light read, but it's not going on my keeper shelf.

Summary: The Texas Series
Review: I read all three of this Texas Series books by Sandra Brown. Of couse I'm an avid Brown fan. Lucky, Chase and Sage were all three GREAT books and I would surely recommend them to anyone who wants great romance along with story lines that keep you reading and wanting to read the entire book all at once. Don't miss Texas Chase, Texas Lucky and Texas Sage, they are tops.
