Texas Glory
SINS OF THE FATHER
Buck Star was a handsome cad with a love-’em-and-leave-’em attitude that had broken more than one heart. But when he seduced his wife’s best friend, then abandoned her without a second thought, he sowed a harvest of misfortune that he would later be forced to reap. HONOR
Honor Gannon had always doubted that any male could deserve the undying devotion her mother had felt for the lover who’d ruined her life. Yet when she arrived in Lowell, Texas, to confront her father, she found just such a man. Not Buck Star, but a dangerous-looking drifter who made her forget every lick of common sense she’d ever had. Losing herself in his dark, compelling gaze, she finally understood how a woman could give up everything for love and not regret a bit of it.

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.
