Звезда любви

by Elaine Barbieri, Элейн Барбьери

Онор Ганнон с детства ненавидела и презирала мужчин — и мечтала о дне, когда отыщет человека, погубившего ее мать, и бросит ему в лицо все, что хотела сказать за долгие годы нищеты и одиночества. И наконец эта мечта сбылась! Однако в маленьком техасском городке девушка встретила мужчину, который заставил ее поверить в то, что на свете существуют нежность и доверие, а жгучая, испепеляющая страсть может принести женщине не боль и горе, а настоящее счастье…

About the author

AKA Elaine Rome

Elaine Barbieri wrote over thirty historical novels that have been published worldwide. She was certain young adult readers would enjoy the excitement of historical romance if given a chance, and she welcomed the opportunity to write Miranda and the Warrior for this new audience. Elaine lived in northern New Jersey with her husband and family, and with Harrison, a demanding male who she is sure would be the ultimate hero -- if he weren't a cat.

Life's too short for wallpaper. Moving on.

The description detailing Texas Glory, is wrong. This book is not the story of Buck Star and Vida Malone, but rather is the story of Buck Star’s illegitimate daughter Honor Gannon who travels to Lowell, Texas, to confront the father who never knew she existed. When she arrives she finds an emaciated man struck down by illness, whose controlling second wife has complete control of him and refuses to even allow his legitimate sons to come near. Honor finds an ally in Jace Rule who hides her secret and tempts her in ways she never expected.
I found this to be an ok read. It didn’t really grip me but I found myself interested enough to finish it.

The title doesn't really match the story neither really does the description on the back of the book. The story line was relatively good but too many things happening. Too many characters involved. The ending seemed rushed and unfinished unless there is a sequel??. I still sort of enjoyed it though.
Ok, so just realized this may be the second book in a series. There is no real indication as to how many books are in the series and which book is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. It definitely needs to be read in sequence to make more sense. I'd have probably have scored it better if I'd have known this was a series.

Didn't know this was part of a trilogy... but now I gotta get the first and last one to see if Celeste succeeds, and if the Stars ever become one big happy family.
