Texas Series #1
Temptation's Trail
HERO FOR HIRE.
When Amanda Duncan headed West to find her missing brother, she knew she was a little out of her element. Her privileged upbringing in a fancy boarding school hadn't prepared her for the perils of frontier Texas. So, she made a plan-all she had to do was hire a hero. But when legendary gunslinger Harmon Bass showed up, he wasn't what she expected at all. True, he was gorgeous beyond belief, but he was also unarmed! What kind of hero didn't carry a gun?
LADY FOR LOVE.
Rugged half-breed Harmon Bass needed a job that paid well and disguised his true mission. What ha got was an irritating and irresistible trail partner who could not ride, shoot or keep quiet! Yet with every move she made, he wanted her more! Maybe it was Amanda's sheer pluck...or unexpected courage...or the way her beautiful brown eyes glowed with sensual fire. Here was a woman to tempt and torment him-the woman he'd been waiting for all of his life. Now, as he and the feisty eastern beauty crossed a wilderness dogged by crooked lawmen and avenging outlaws, Harm only prayed they lived long enough to calm the love that waited at the end of...TEMTATION'S TRAIL

There’s nothing profound or deep about this shallow, formulaic romance. You might argue that I’ve given you all kinds of reasons to not bother, but not so fast. It’s the kind of light and breezy read you take on when you’re between mammoth reads or thoughtful reads that jerk your soul around and rearrange it. It’s nicely written, and it’s just kind of fun. You’ll breeze through it in a few hours, and you won’t remember it in a few days. But it’s not a time waster.
Amanda Duncan has come to Texas from the East. Her brother, Randy, has been accused of stealing jewels from someone and hiding them in Texas, and she wants to track down her brother and clear his name. As far as she’s concerned, something has happened to him. He would never abscond with jewels or anything else that doesn’t belong to him.
Amanda has even been reading up on this stuff! She has purchased some dime novels that feature the great Harmon Bass, a legendary tracker who can find nearly anyone under nearly every circumstance. But the Harmon Bass she meets is nothing at all like the hot super hero she imagines. He’s kind of a scrawny wiry guy, part Apache, and he rarely carries a firearm with him.
Despite her doubts, Amanda takes him on, and the two predictably face down conflicts and misunderstandings to build a romance. But it’s worth reading for the support characters you find here. Harmon’s sister, Becky, is a delight, and Harmon’s sheriff friend and his Mexican wife are also important enough to the book’s progress that you enjoy reading about them.
