Summary: This book is the best book ever written!!!!!
Review: A friend of mine and I were in a book store one day and I was unable to find a book that I would be interested in reading. I wanted a book with romance, suspense, drama, originality, and with characters that clung to you until you finished reading the book. She turned to me and told me to buy Texas Rich. The book never left my side until I finished! Billie's life was written with such detail that anyone could've felt her pain. The bitter relationship between Billie and Moss had the reader yelling at the book,"Leave him!! He doesn't deserve you Billie!" The author did a splendid job at detailing the lives of the Coleman's. The family is the most original set of characters that I have read about in a very long time. I truly fell in love with the characters and have just bought the second book of the "Texas" series. I can't wait to start reading and join in on the Coleman's. In some strange way Texas Rich reminds me of the Thorn Birds. So if you've ever read that book buy Texas Rich. Please don't hesitate...BUY IT!!!! You'll love it!!!!!!!! Please let me know if you loved this book as much as I did!!

Summary: Literature, this ain't. Entertainment, it is.
Review: Billie Ames has never particularly thought about being rich. Her ambitious mother Agnes has, however, thought a lot about it. She has a banker's son lined up to marry Billie. As daughters will, though, Billie has other ideas. She falls in love with a handsome Navy pilot, Moss Coleman, and marries him instead. Shortly after the wedding, Moss is shipped off to war. He sends Billie and her mother to his home in Texas.If you're a fan of Danielle Steele, you'll love this book. It's a rollicking good tale, full of romance and adventure -- Texas style. The story spans the eras between WWII and Vietnam and covers 4 generations of the Coleman family. Moss's father is obsessed with building a dynasty. Billie's mother will sacrifice anything, including her daughter, to secure her position in the Coleman family. Billie loves Moss with all her heart. Sexual passages were too explicit for my taste but the narrative moves at a good clip and there's a variety of interesting characters who are well developed. TEXAS RICH is pure entertainment and fine escapist fare.

Summary: A wonderful beginning to an incredible family saga
Review: Fern Michaels is the type of author whose vivid imagination and ability to create real and compelling characters translates to publishing gold. In TEXAS RICH, Michaels starts the reader on a journey with the young and naive Billie Ames Coleman to a place where her heart, her courage and her beliefs will be tested -- Texas. The new bride of Coleman heir apparent Moss Coleman, we follow Billie through her acclimation to Texas and her new home at Sunbridge (the Coleman family home), her role as Moss' wife and the challenges she faces from her social-climbing mother, her gruff and demanding father-in-law and the events of the world around her. We see Billie grow stronger in heart, mind and belief as her children are born, her marriage to Moss changes and she comes into her own as a Coleman. This is an unforgettable novel that continues on in TEXAS HEAT, TEXAS FURY and TEXAS SUNRISE. A brilliant family saga from an incredible author. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Emotional
Review: I cannot express enough how much I LOVE this book. The story catches you right from the beginning and doesn't let you go. This is one of those books that the characters really come to life. Their joys will be yours and their sorrows too. I truely came to love these characters. Especially Billie. This is the first book of the Texas quartet. And it is the best of the four. Ms. Michaels takes us from the 1940's to the 1980's with the Coleman family. Everywhere from Philly to Texas, Guam to Hawaii, Japan to Vietnam. She creates wonderful visuals of these places. This story is filled with love (and great love scenes) and with heartbreak. When the characters cried I did too. Powerfull book.

Summary: Worst book I've ever read
Review: It looked promising, but I found the characters shallow, insipid, and one-dimentional; the dialogue seemed contrived and each time a person's eyes "welled up with tears", I felt the urge to scream! Good story idea, but poorly written. Sorry.
