Up-and-coming chef Maddie Collins finds out that her father's life was a lie when she is bequeathed a family homeplace she never knew existed—by the husband of the only woman her father ever loved. A former SEAL, sexy cowboy Boone Gallagher arrives back in Texas to discover that the father who drove him away has struck one last blow. The only place he's ever thought of as home now belongs to a woman who doesn't want it, and he must keep her there for thirty days—or it will be lost to them both.

Mitch Gallagher is a loner, down to the bone. Banished at sixteen from everything and everyone he held dear, he's an intensely private man whose rusty, unused heart long ago gave up on love. Fragile Perrie Matheson is on the run to protect her beloved son. Too ill to travel further with a winter storm on the way, she has no choice but to gamble her child's safety on a man who wants only to be left alone. But during days spent together in the mountain cabin, Mitch and Perrie each find surprises in store...and all the reasons they should stay apart battle with the yearnings of hearts too long denied love.

TEXAS BAD BOY

Everyone thinks Lacey DeMille is the next thing to royalty, a society girl with beauty, brains and money—but sexy Texas bad boy Devlin Marlowe knows better. Twenty years after being exiled in disgrace for daring to want her, the boy from the wrong side of the tracks has sweet revenge in his grasp...for only he knows that her whole life is built on a lie.

And revenge may be more costly than either of them can imagine.

Ratings and reviews

Texas Secrets Review This book is very predictable, but I was okay with that. In my opinion there was nothing riveting about the story. My biggest complaint is the amount of repetition, that got annoying. I kind of liked Boone and Maddie even with their whoa as me attitudes. I did like how Maddie stood up to Boone. I liked Boone's protective side. I liked the story and was entertained I even got a little teary eyed at the end. Texas Lonely Review I liked this book a little better than Texas Secrets. In my opinion this one was a little edgier than Texas Secrets. There is still a lot of repetition in this book, like Texas Secrets. Jean Brashear kept me wondering if Simon would show up. I liked Perrie and her love for Davey. Perrie was fragile in some ways, yet she was willing to do her part. She was definitely strong than she looked. Davey was my favorite he was willing to learn. I liked Texas Lonely and was entertained, I even got a little teary eyed at the end. Texas Bad Boy Review This was my favorite of The Gallaghers of Morning Star Series, I always love a second chance romance. Devlin starts out for revenge, then falls hard. I loved how he pushed Lacey's buttons. It was fun watching his journey and growth. Lacey is pampered and struggles to be perfect for her parents. I really enjoyed her journey and growth. When Devlin and Lacey are together I was amused. I loved Devlin pushing Lacey and how she fought to break out of her shell. I appreciated Devlin and his love for Lacey and what he was willing to do so she could move on from her past. Yes most of this story is predictable but I was okay with it, I still enjoyed it. The ending did bring tears to my eyes at the end.

Loved all 3 books. The characters are each unique & so personal. Love how everything is twined together. The flow from book to book is so smooth. Can't wait to read more by this author.

Loved all 3 books. Some parts made me laugh and in some parts I shed a tear. Can't wait to read the rest of this series. 😄 Love her books.
