Rio

Texans #2

by Georgina Gentry

He's a man who burns as hot and free as a wildfire--and where love is concerned, he's twice as dangerous. . . Rio

Rio Kelly knows what he wants when he sees it--and he wants the ebony-haired, fair-skinned beauty with the extraordinary blue eyes, Turquoise Sanchez. But in the battle for her love, this bold vaquero is competing with a Texas senator who's used to getting his way, at any cost.

Turquoise knows the sensible choice would be to marry the wealthy senator and enjoy a lifetime of comfort and status. But her heart has chosen differently. If she dares to follow her passion--and defy one of Texas's most powerful and ruthless men--she and her defiant cowboy are in for the fight of their lives. . .

The story line was ok, but not a favorite of mine. I did not like how Edwin turned out to be Turquoise's father and how Rio was hurt badly but, we never knew if his hand recovered. This was just a few of the things that bothered me about this story. I also do have to say I did not like how Turquoise was so stuck up and a snob, but yet she didn't like when people treated her the same way.

Rio by Georgina Gentry

2.5 stars.
Too much over-the-too "because I'm Texan" crap. I don't even want to know how many times the main characters told us they were Texan! The answer is WAY more then once. Got the first dozen times!
I also didn't really feel the love with these two. They fought almost anytime they were together and it didn't seem like they were even together all that much to begin with.

I didn't love snooty Turquoise Sanchez in this story, but I thought she was realistic in her roller coaster emotions. Stupid, but realistic. The love scenes were slow in coming but passionate and the plot was not as predictable as I thought it would be. If I had admired the heroine more, I would have given it higher stars.

4.5/5.0

If an old fashioned white hats vs black hats western is your kind of book, this will be right up your alley!
