Texas Secrets
by Jean Brashear
"Jean Brashear writes with warmth and emotional truth. The depth of her understanding of human nature marks her as a writer to watch." ~Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author
From New York Times and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear, the first book of a trilogy of romances rich with emotion, ripe with secrets, scandals and sexual tension.
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. Rugged horseman 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.

A good read
Romantic and Tentalizing
This book shows how love can conquer anything. There is a lesson in judgement of others. There is tradegy, heartache and suspense. There is sweetness and passion. This author didnt leave anything out. Highly recommend!
Wonderful story!
Jean Brashear has a wonderful way of writing. She is very descriptive and keeps you hanging onto every word. I loved the story and didn’t want to put the book down.
Really liked it
I really liked this book. I purchased the next two books hoping they will be just as good and plan on reading them shortly.
Okay
A little mellow dramatic in spots, but sweet.
Fall in love with Boone and Maddy as they fall in love with each other.
I give this book a 10! This is my first book by Ms Brashear but it certainly wouldn't be my last. Boone is a strong silent type with a huge heart he keeps hidden away. Maddy is a free spirit who love adventures, taking care of people and cooking. And when they get together sparks fly. A must read for any romantic lover.
A perfect story
Wow this story was just the right story for me to read at this time. The author put just the right amount of a steamy love with excitement and a little mystery.
Texas Secrets
Very good easy read. Look forward to reading more in the series. Easy to follow and no violence. Thank you
Another Boring Emotionally Damaged Cowboy
A guy who marries a city girl who hates the ranching life and then spends the rest of his life blaming himself is not emotionally healthy enough to have a good marriage, no matter how strong the chemistry. This book is a very bad model for young women.
