5.0 out of 5 stars Texas Fury, January 31, 2008

By	Kelly "Reviewer for The Sinfully Sensuous" (Littleton, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very powerful book 3 in the Texas series. While all the characters are involved in this book, Amelia was a large focus of this one. Amelia is married to Cary who is a good 20 years her junior, and while Cary absolutely adores his wife, she is waiting for the other shoe to drop. She had such a difficult life with so much loss, that she couldn't allow herself to just accept the love Cary gave freely. We were taken inside Amelia, and how she comes to terms with her life, and learns to accept herself for the loving person she is.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning conclusion -- or is it?, December 28, 1999

By	Matthew D. Hydeman "voyage" (Tucson, Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

More adventure, love and intrigue for the Coleman family as Michaels' series seems to jump into high gear. Though none of the TEXAS novels could ever be called dull, in TEXAS FURY, it seems as though if the story isn't racing along (from locales in the Pacific Rim, to a forbidding snow-covered mountain in Europe and back to the home base of Texas), Michaels won't get her point across. Though she contradicted herself with the publication of TEXAS SUNRISE a few years later, FURY was to be the culmination of the Coleman saga, so I can excuse her for wanting to make sure she tied everything up in a neat package. And neat it is -- there seem to be happy endings aplenty within TEXAS FURY. Some may surprise you, some may seem to be a given but all in all -- even with the shock ending -- it ends on a very hopeful note. One comment, though: I rated this book five stars, but it receives such an accolade by the skin of its teeth. The family tree in the front of the book is helpful but there are some misspellings and the time is skewed as well -- just what year is this taking place? Though as I write this it's nearly 2000 now, when the TEXAS series was published (around 1994/1995), the dates of various events in the Colemans' lives seemed years ahead -- perhaps even around the turn of the century! A little confusing, to say the least, but it's a minor nitpick in an overall excellent family saga.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great story but geographically incorrect!, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

The story was excellent except that I do not believe Fern Michaels has ever been to Austin, Texas. It almost never (once in 10 to 15 years) snows there and absolutely never at Christmas or in blizzard conditions. It is not high plains, but rocky hill country. The area she was describing was more like the Amarillo, Texas area and even there, white Christmases are rare.
