This review is from: Texas Heart (Harlequin Historical Romance) (Paperback)

Ah, we meet the Conway family in this trilogy -- Don't pass this up if you really like Frontier stories.

Seventeen year old Jessie Conway is determined to find her father.
He had left with a small herd of cattle for Abilene, Kansas from this ranch in Texas down near the Rio Grande. Big Jack Conway has been gone for about 3 months - it is now August, 1870 and Jessie and her brothers, Danny at fourteen and Thad at seven are afraid to wait much longer.

She is desired by the Comanche chief, Two Moons and as long as her father is alive Two Moons has put the Conway family under his protection.

Jessie hits the trail and of course gets into trouble and is rescued by Cole Matthews. He is a loner who is full of secrets and on the trail of the man who shot his father in the back.

Oh, it gets better and better when the boys hit the trail and follow Jessie, now Cole is trying to find a way to leave this crazy family in some town so that they will go home.

More trouble follows and Danny, armed with his father's buffalo gun and a great desire to heal all wounded and sick, proves to be a needed asset when he and Jessie save Cole's life.

Even little "Tadpole" helps with the horses, keeping them cared for and in his innocense wraps himself around Cole's heart.

Cole never has a chance, especially when his hormones kick in, his heart just about explodes with tamped down emotions.

This is one powerful, passionate story of a man too cold for love and a young girl just flowering into womanhood [she soon learns her power over a dominate male].
We are privy to the clash between Cole, who desires Jessie and Danny, who wants to protect his sister's honor.

The hardships of the trail and the terrors involved in making this long trek are so realistic that it makes us wonder whatever happened to the country in this present day and mourn the loss of the wilderness along with the Indians.

These stories make us more aware of the great injustices done to our Native American brethern that you would like to hang a lot of the governing officials.

Do not pass up the follow-ups, TEXAS HEALER and TEXAS HERO after reading TEXAS HEART.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- definitely a trilogy keeper! Great work Ms.Langan.
