Followers of Sandra Brown's titles (55+ NY Times bestsellers) know what to expect - hefty doses of sex, suspense and scandalous doings. They'll not be disappointed with Texas! Lucky and will be especially pleased with a voice performance by actress Coleen Marlo. This is a reading to be remembered - Marlo taught acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute for ten years and certainly knows her way around a script. Her television appearances include Murder She Wrote and China Beach, while on the stage she's been seen in A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. This is one audio book you may want to listen to twice and then share with friends!

The action in the story couldn't take place anywhere but the Lone Star State. Lucky Tyler is the quintessential fictional Texan - a good looking ladies man with a trigger temper. One night he's hanging out in a way less than 5-star bar when a gorgeous redhead begins to get unwanted attention from some locals. Lucky, of course, to the rescue!

Now, you'd think a lady pulled from the jaws of distress would show some gratitude but no - Devon Haines hopped into her car and took off. Lucky set out to find her and that he did, ending in one of Brown's famous night scenes. However despite this nocturnal pleasure Devon disappeared again. As it happened a fire broke out at Tyler Drilling at the same time Lucky and Devon were making the earth move. He needs an alibi and she needs to keep a secret.

Vintage Brown, memorable Marlo = entertainment and enjoyment.

What a to die for romance. The very best book of Sandra Brown I have read. I could really relate to all the people in this book. I am from Texas and was raised around people like the Tylers. It really hit close to home. I hope there will be more books of the Tyler family. I would love to know what happens after Texas! Sage. It could go on forever, i would not mind !

This story is about Lucky Tyler who seemed to always have trouble and women in his presence. Then one night he rescued a redhead in a bar, and was hooked. When she vanished without a trace, Lucky was desperate to find her. But when the police start asking for an alibi because of a fire at the family business, Lucky was even more desperate to find her. Once he found her, would he only need her until he was proven innocent, or was his heart lost to her forever?

This is a great story, somewhat predictable, but enjoyable. Typical romance plot, with a few twists thrown in for good measure.

This was a good story. I really enjoyed the characters, first and secondary. Especially the witty banter between all of them. The only thing that was truly annoying was the heroine of the story. I can accept her history, but... I just don't think a woman, having been portrayed as such an intelligent and very independent woman, in her situation, would first off, stay married to the jerk. And second, be so blind to his character. Realistically she should have already come to terms with the fact that she should have gotten an annulment months before. At least she should have admitted it to herself after she meets Lucky, and not been so frustratingly "hard to get." It only makes the story unrealistic, it doesn't enhance it one bit. I kept thinking, "What's her problem?" And when I found out, it still just wasn't believable. I would have thought she would have found in him someone that she could lean on after being alone so long. And the hesitation on her part to admit her feelings to Lucky and even herself was unbelievably prolonged for such a short story. At the end I said to myself "They were only truly happy in the Epilogue!" This could have been a lot better with a different twist, but I still give it four stars. Because the Tyler's are truly an interesting and great family. I haven't read many books that could bring tears to my eyes, and this one does.

Sandra Brown is an exceptional writer. She captivates the reader in making them feel a part of the characters. This is a great novel that make you feel each emotion that the chracters go through. Ms. Brown makes you laugh at the family's stupid anthics and cry when they are in pain. It is rare that you can find a author who can make their characters real with humane and moral qualities. When searching for a great romance novel with great sex and emotional turmoil, you can open this book and bring to life the warmth that is exhibited. You can read this over and over, like I have, and still enjoy.

WOW!!! What a book, what a man! I loved the story! Couldn't put the book down until it was finished. Captivating

What do you get when you mix a Texan hothead with a mysterious redhead in a seedy bar who seems to want to get into trouble with the town's worst kind?
Trouble, with a captial T, and Lucky is the man to rescue the damsel in distress and get a whole lot of fight for his trouble.
Lucky Tyler is the younger of the two brothers known throughout the tiny East Texas town as the scoundrels of Milton Point.
Rogues if you will. Women can't resist them and men fear them.
Lucky is blindsided when this woman strides into the seediest bar in the county simply known as the 'place' and attracts a whole lot of trouble from the local bruisers.
The woman doesn't seem to need any saving, or so she says and storms out of the bar, but Lucky is determined to not let her storm out of his life until she samples what he is so famous for.
The 'woman' in question makes it clear she is no 'woman' and is Devon Haines, THE Devon Haines from Dallas, newspaper reporter.
But she lies and tells Lucky her name is simply 'Dovey' when he catches up to her in a seedy motel off the highway.
Sparks fly and both end up in bed, but by morning, she's gone without a trace.
Sparking something inside Lucky, he is determined to find her at any cost, just to see why she interested him so much, but soon it becomes a matter of need, rather than curiosity when he finds himself framed for a fire set to his family business, Tyler Drilling.
She's his only alibi.
But who is she?
Old enemies and scandal are deep here in Milton Point, but even more secrets abound after she is found...she's more than he thought she was and has a past worth hiding....

Fast-paced and sexy, Lucky is all sex appeal that will have you smirking and sighing at once. 'Dovey' is the perfect match for the hothead of Milton Point.

You won't be disappointed by this one. This was just great all the way through. With this Audio Book I had headphones in my ears all the time. I didn't want to put it down. All I can say it's another great job by Sandra Brown and I am looking forward to my next reading by Sandra. 2 thumbs up and 5 out of 5 stars.

I listened to this book via cd on my commutes to and from work. I couldn't wait to get into my car and listen to the rest of this blood hot and thirsty novel. So unique and so pumped full of what's around the next corner that I couldn't stand it!!! Love it!
