A Rogue in Texas

Rating:
Summary: Not to miss!
Review: Lorraine Heath again lives up to my very high expectations with another emotionally charged, heartwarming romance. The chemistry between the hero and heroine sizzles, yet it's the kindness and caring between them that is most significant. Grayson is the usual sigh-worthy Heath hero. The way he treats Abbie's three children made me fall in love with him right away! The secondary characters are fully fleshed out and add to the story.

Another Heath for my keeper shelf!

Summary: Heath does it again.
Review: Lorraine Heath really knows how to write romance. And she is probably one of the best currently writing within the subgenre of Western Romance, a very hard arena to have repeat success. A Rogue in Texas was good for Heath standards, but great compared to most romance books, or even compared to most novels in general.

Grayson Rhodes is a fun person to get to know. He's got insecurities galore, and is *supposed* to be a rake. Alas, he finds he has a conscience after all, and he wants Abbie, the widow giving him housing while he works on her land, to come to him willingly. So there are to be no forced seductions or rapes that occasionally happen in romance. Instead, Gray sets out to make Abbie actually like him. And occasionally the rake in him peeks out -- just enough to remind you that he is a little dangerous.

This story turns on Grayson, and he comes through. Not as much time is spent focusing on Abbie, but the book doesn't lose much for this. There is also a lot of interaction between Gray and Abbie's three children. It's probably too good to be true, but it really is nice to see a man step in and take responsibility for such a great family. Especially a man who really knows how to play (instead of toiling in the fields all day long)!

All in all, this is really a fun book to read. It isn't quite as poignant as some other Heath books (Never Love a Cowboy and Texas Destiny come to mind), but compared to most of what's out there it's definitely worth the time and money involved in buying and reading it.

Summary: This one has everything.......Heath at her best!
Review: This is the first of the trilogy of 3 english rogues who are sent to America by their families to mend their ways. This story of Abbie and Grayson is wonderful. It's part western, a little civil war, and a mix of regency england. Loved the culture contrasts. The story is multi faceted but is about heartache, love, loyalty and the meaning of happiness. There's also adventure and 3 adorable children. It's a book to make you smile and it's fast paced so its hard to put down. A real keeper.
