About this ebook

On the run from deadly enemies in a small Texas town, a young mother and a covert agent must stay close to survive in this Western romantic thriller.

Faith Thomas was ready to fight her ex-husband Burke for custody of their daughter. But when she realized that Burke was a serial killer, she took little Zoe and went on the run.

Stranded in a small Texas town, Faith must now rely on a man she’s only just met—covert operative Léon Royce. But he, too, is on the run. Hiding his real identity, Léon is also hiding his real attraction to Faith. Protecting her and Zoe becomes his mission . . . one he’ll risk his life—and heart—for.

Ratings and reviews

From the very first pages, it’s easy to understand Faith’s terror: Burke is one scary dude! I admit I thought that the heroine’s ex being a psychopathic serial killer was a bit of overkill – if you will pardon the pun – but I liked how it contributed to make us see another facet of Faith’s personality. Léon also has quite an unusual past, and I found it interesting that, apart from Zoe, most characters wear masks: they all hide their true identity in one way or another, for various reasons. The romance between Faith and Léon progressed surprisingly realistically, and Zoe came across as remarkably normal. I appreciated how Robin Perini chose to portray how Zoe related to both her parents as well as Léon. LAST STAND IN TEXAS is a fast-paced romantic suspense, with a complex storyline and quite a bit of drama. The action never stops, and although it is book 10 in the Carder Texas Connections, it stands perfectly on its own. It’s heavy on the suspense, and the romance is convincing.
