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 !
At the start I felt the story was going to be to slow and boring but Sandra Brown takes her story through twist and turns, I washooked. This book though not one of my top favourites is still worth reading till the end.
There were times where this story was so emotional that it brought tears to my eyes. At other times I was laughing so hard my belly hurt. Brown had me caught up in this world in Texas, trying to figure out what really happened while at the same time hoping it will take a while so that the characters can work out their problems.I love the way that Lucky was developed in this novel, and the story behind his nickname is absolutely priceless. He is the perfect roguish gentleman, the best of both worlds. The female lead took a bit of warming up to. She is a well-developed and likeable individual, but some of the choices that she made were a little skewed. The conflict between needs, desires, and morals is quite poignant here. Neither is content with the status quo but neither will break their code of ethics (too many times). It was a bittersweet thing to see.As a whole this was a great read that really kept me coming back for more. Now, off to Chase’s tale, and then Sage’s.
What do you get when you mix a Texan hothead with a mysterious redhead in a seedy bar who seems to want to get into trouble with the town's worst kind?Trouble, with a captial T, and Lucky is the man to rescue the damsel in distress and get a whole lot of fight for his trouble.Lucky Tyler is the younger of the two brothers known throughout the tiny East Texas town as the scoundrels of Milton Point.Rogues if you will. Women can't resist them and men fear them.Lucky is blindsided when this woman strides into the seediest bar in the county simply known as the 'place' and attracts a whole lot of trouble from the local bruisers.The woman doesn't seem to need any saving, or so she says and storms out of the bar, but Lucky is determined to not let her storm out of his life until she samples what he is so famous for.The 'woman' in question makes it clear she is no 'woman' and is Devon Haines, THE Devon Haines from Dallas, newspaper reporter.But she lies and tells Lucky her name is simply 'Dovey' when he catches up to her in a seedy motel off the highway.Sparks fly and both end up in bed, but by morning, she's gone without a trace.Sparking something inside Lucky, he is determined to find her at any cost, just to see why she interested him so much, but soon it becomes a matter of need, rather than curiosity when he finds himself framed for a fire set to his family business, Tyler Drilling.She's his only alibi.But who is she?Old enemies and scandal are deep here in Milton Point, but even more secrets abound after she is found...she's more than he thought she was and has a past worth hiding....Fast-paced and sexy, Lucky is all sex appeal that will have you smirking and sighing at once. 'Dovey' is the perfect match for the hothead of Milton Point.Tracy Talley~@
Just pass on this early Sandra Brown book. I'm not even going to read the others in the series. I have read more current books by Ms. Brown and have loved them all, but I received this book in a giveaway and felt compelled to read and review it. Being written some 20-odd years ago, you can tell how her writing style has finessed to what it is today. Texas Lucky is unbelievable most of the time. I thought the female lead to be very ignorant for someone that was supposed to be quite intelligent and Lucky, although trying to pull off a white knight-type routine, is actually obnoxious in his conceit. The secondary characters make this book readable as the whole storyline is basically unbelievable. I am a huge Brown fan but I truly did not enjoy this book...or writing this review :(
"Wow"! Well the more books I read By "Sandra Brown" this one being my 4th THE More I wonder WHY I haven't Started Before Now...I Simply LOVEEEEEEE her Books!! I CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN ONCE I START READING THEM!! I LOVED ALL THE CHARACTERS....AND THE STORY BETWEEN LUCKY & DEVON...VERY HOT!!
I was browsing in a bookstore in Texas and someone recommended this to me as a first in a really neat trilogy. I got through the first 60 pages and just had to put it down. The lines and characters were so trite I just couldn't stand it. Guess people like this for all the sexy lines and situations. Possibly it got better if I had kept going, like maybe there would have been a plot, but I saw no chance of that. If I could give this zero stars I would have, but then there would be no review. This is one for Mount Trashmore.
Even though Lucky Tyler got his name because he was lucky with women, he was also taught that women were to be protected and respected no matter who there were or where they were. So when he saw a woman being harassed by two men in a local bar, he automatically stepped in to help her. She didn't appreciate his interference and didn't even thank him before leaving the bar. Lucky followed her out of town to get a "thank you" from her, or so he believed. Actually, he was attracted to her and used to getting any lady he wanted. He expected to hook up with Devon for a one-night stand but it didn't quite work out that way. He did spend the night with her but was so injured that he just spent the night in bed with Devon looking after him. We then find out that a crime was committed that night and Lucky was accused of committing it. His only alibi was Devon but she had disappeared.I loved how Lucky tries everything to find Devon so he can clear his name once she testifies on his behalf. It is funny to see a man who always "gets the girl" fall for "the girl" but she doesn't want him or any man. He doesn't know how to handle it because it has never happened before. It was good to see the attraction between the pair and how they worked it out.I really enjoyed the story and highly recommend it.
