To Catch a Texas Star by Linda Broday


36236906


Blurb:

He'll do what it takes to prove his love...

The son of a notorious outlaw, Roan Penny yearns to make his life count...but heroism comes with a price. Left badly injured, only the kindness of a gentle stranger can save him. He longs to be with the captivating beauty―his savior, his Texas star, his Marley Rose McClain―but he knows he'd bring her nothing but trouble.

If only he could convince his heart of that.

Marley's lived a charmed life, and she's determined to spend the rest of her days at her quiet hero's side...but she isn't what she seems. A life-long secret threatens to destroy everything she knows―and everything she could hope to be. As dangerous men threaten to pull her back into the shadows, a desperate Roan must ride hell-bent for leather to save the other half of his heart...before he can lose her light for good.







My review:

5 shootin' stars for Marley Rose and Roan Penny!

I have a soft spot for the McClain family ever since first meeting Duel and Jessie in Knight on the Texas Plain and was ecstatic to learn that we'd get Marley's story in To Catch a Texas Star. And boy, I was NOT disappointed at all!! On the first page I was transported back in time and landed in the middle of trouble and the journey just rolled on from there.

Marley Rose has one of the most gentle and winsome souls; her affection and compassion for others and delightful creativity pour off the pages and you can't help but adore her. 

Roam Penny has this bone-deep fortitude and integrity about him that draws you in and keeps your attention. Marley found a man who was like her father in the way he cared for and protected his family - to his last breath if need be. But I also think he was like Granny Jack's cats -- that man had 9 lives and wasn't afraid to use them! haha!

There were so many little enjoyable tid-bits and discoveries wrapped up in the pages that helped to set the scene and give some happy-feel-good moments. This worked well to balance out the adventure and danger and poignant moments. I enjoyed getting to experience life with the McClains again and see their new happily ever after.
