SEX, SUSPENSE, AND SCANDALOUS DOINGS,
This review is from: Texas! Lucky (Audio CD)
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. - Gail Cooke

Heart stopping romance. Made me wish he was real !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Texas! Lucky (Texas! Tyler Family Saga) (Paperback)
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 !
