A Rogue in Texas (Rogues in Texas, #1)
Lorraine Heath
A duke's son, Grayson Rhodes was a maverick who had left London's suffocating upper class world to earn his own fortune. So he seized the chance to work Abbie Westland's land...and from the moment he first saw Abbie, he was determined to use his arms to work the farm by day and to soothe her through the nights in his strong embrace. Abbie, with her fiery determination, was different from the fragile beauties he'd known at home. In her, Grayson found an honest passion he'd never experienced before. But could their growing love survive the surprising reminder of her past that came to haunt them?

0I love Gray, but even more than that, I love the way he loves Abbie. He’s such a goner for her, and truly puts her before himself. For her part, Abbie is one of those quietly strong heroines that stays true to themselves from beginning to end. This is a first class example of the reform a rake trope. Gray is also amazing with Abbie’s kids (think Nate from “Forever Your Rogue” by Erin Langston!).
Could I see the twist coming? Kind of. Did I still enjoy it and wonder how on earth we were going to get an HEA? Absolutely! Plus, the side characters and town are delightful - Lorraine does a great job of setting up the “Rogues in Texas” series here, without detracting from the story.
I wholeheartedly recommend this one! Just remember that it’s technically old school (1999), so some things might not be what you’d expect from a historical published today.
