Texas Splendor (Texas Trilogy #3) by Lorraine Heath
A man on a mission...
After five grueling years in a Texas prison, Austin Leigh is finally a free man. He can’t wait to go home and be reunited with his sweetheart. But when he discovers she didn’t wait for him and is now married, he becomes more determined to clear his name of the crime he never committed.
Meets the one woman who could offer him salvation—and love...
En route to the state capital, he meets a young woman, Loree Grant, and her dog. When he learns that they have survived a mysterious tragedy, he is moved—and curious. And as he spends more time with the lovely, intriguing woman, he sees glimpses of a future he had thought was no longer possible as they both find a new lease on life—and a love that can overcome any obstacle . . .
5 out of 5 stars
Texas Splendor was an incredible read! I was thrilled to start Austin's story and couldn’t
wait for him to get his HEA. This story is filled with so much heartbreak and healing, I couldn't read it fast enough!
This story had such an incredible build. I felt Austin’s
pain and all the emotions he was going through after getting out of prison. I
loved the longing he has in him for a new future even though he feels lost. I
loved him meeting Loree and how they found solace in one another as she has her
own painful past she's dealing with. I liked learning her history and felt for
her. Austin was so incredibly sweet and I liked how his attraction to her grew.
There was so much inner turmoil and loneliness between the two, I loved
watching them come together and find a bit of peace, comfort, and love.
There was a fantastic build as the details unfolded
and how hints of Austin and Loree’s lives evolved and intersected. The
story kept getting more and more exciting to me because I loved seeing those dots
connecting. There were so many emotional moments where I got choked up, but
there were so many heartwarming ones as well. I loved the brothers and their
wives, together they brought some lightheartedness that was needed in the midst
of all the emotion. It was great getting updates on everyone and seeing how
much certain characters have changed. I thought the ending was fantastic and
the epilogue was perfect.
There was drama and tension that kept me on the edge
of my seat and turning the page. This series has been all-consuming. I
loved the details and the depth and the author's ability to make me feel so
invested like I am a part of these people's lives. I am so glad I was able to
read them all back to back and watched the growth and evolution of the
characters. I can’t say enough good things about this book and series!
