A good one for western romance lovers. It would have been better if we had read the first two of the series - Texas Heart and Texas Healer.
Still it whet our appetite for those other two which we have now obtained. Ruth Langan is one of our favorite authors. We certainly hope she continues to produce in the future.

TEXAS HERO -- this is the story of little Thad Conway [all grown up] 22 years old. He seems like a man of much more experience.

Coming back from Mexico from a buying trip in acquiring a blooded mare he runs smack into a stagecoach holdup. With far reaching consequences.

Here he meets the prim, bookish spinster, Caroline Adams. Uhuh! Secrets and mysteries start right away. Very prim, Miss Adams soon learns that she has been rescued by "The Texan" an acclaimed gunfighter.

She wants to see that he is getting much needed medical attention and walks into the surgery where he is being made to bite onto a strip of leather. Nothing is being used to knock him out of his pain.

Little does she know that Doc Conway is The Texan's brother and Doc is teaching Runs With The Wind his medical knowledge.

What a family she is soon introduced to with Jessie and Cole Matthews and their three children - then there is Doctor Dan Conway and Morning Light with their son and daughter and Two Moons son.

Caroline needs to be free and indepentant and teach the children of the families of Hope, Texas. She must be above reproach. She cringes at the thought.
She makes a number of friends and does a little matchmaking and gets a few kisses from Thad that scramble her thought processes.

Thad is soon finding it hard to stop his obsession with kissing Caroline. And dreaming of more.
Then a stalker appears. Caroline refuses to admit it to Thad.

Ah, the twists and turns that begin to happen and how Thad is finally convinced that the gun can't answer all problems makes for a lively and fitting tale of "The Texan" who still becomes a Hero.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- thoroughly enjoyable but I do think that the authors [not just Langan] take a very liberal attitude with the morality of the women of the frontier's day and age. I will bet there were more women that would have been horrified at giving into a man before marriage than our authors portray.

All we get is the idea that given half a chance the women were loose in their morality and I don't believe that is the true facts of our frontier ladies. Ah well, I lay the fault at the feet of the editors.

I just bought this used book from this company and I expected it to be warn and abused but it was the complete opposite. I recieved a high quality book for an extremely low price. It did take a few weeks before I actually got it but when I opened up the box the book was still almost like new. I would definatly order from them again!
