Trouble in Texas: The Brothers Kincaid, Book 1 (Harlequin Superromance, No 1031) [Mass Market Paperback]

Eve Gaddy (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2001

Being shot was only the start of his bad luck

Mark Kincaid had two very good reasons for coming to the small Texas town of Aransas City -- to renovate the dilapidated house he'd inherited from his uncle and to recover from the gunshot wound he'd received while working undercover. Being attracted to Cat Randolph wasn't on his list.

Of course, that was before he discovered that the smuggling ring he'd been trying to bust had operations in his new hometown. And that Cat's brother was a suspect. Getting to know his neighbor might be the kind of trouble he liked.

This review is from: Trouble in Texas: The Brothers Kincaid, Book 1 (Harlequin Superromance, No 1031) (Mass Market Paperback)

Fish and Wildlife Service Agent Mark Kincaid is on injury compensation leave while recovering from gunshot wounds incurred during an undercover assignment. To recuperate and remain occupied, Mark journeys to Arsanas City, Texas where he plans to renovate the house he inherited from his uncle.

Early one morning he hears birds chirping and looks out his window to see Cat Randolph setting up an aviary. To their mutual shocks Mark and Cat are attracted to one another. However, he plans to sell the house and leave as soon as he heals so he tries to keep away from her. Failing to avoid Cat, they fall in love. However, he quickly connects the case that left him injured to an illegal bird smuggling ring here in town with his beloved's sibling as the prime suspect.

Readers will find no trouble enjoying Eve Gaddy's latest romantic suspense thriller though the topic of illegal animal trafficking brings vividly to mind the abusive methods used by smugglers though the author treads lightly. The audience will definitely feel empathy and support the efforts to stop this ugly practice. The story line lures the reader into its' web from the first sentence due to the warmth and dedication of Mark and Cat. His dilemma between his love for Cat and his duty to catch the smugglers adds passion to the lead male protagonist. Even with the nasty but important underlying theme, sub-genre fans will enjoy TROUBLE IN TEXAS and rejoice in knowing that Ms. Gaddy has other Brothers Kincaid stories to tell.
