Texas Rich

Rating:
Summary: Literature, this ain't. Entertainment, it is.
Review: Billie Ames has never particularly thought about being rich. Her ambitious mother Agnes has, however, thought a lot about it. She has a banker's son lined up to marry Billie. As daughters will, though, Billie has other ideas. She falls in love with a handsome Navy pilot, Moss Coleman, and marries him instead. Shortly after the wedding, Moss is shipped off to war. He sends Billie and her mother to his home in Texas.

If you're a fan of Danielle Steele, you'll love this book. It's a rollicking good tale, full of romance and adventure -- Texas style. The story spans the eras between WWII and Vietnam and covers 4 generations of the Coleman family.

Moss's father is obsessed with building a dynasty. Billie's mother will sacrifice anything, including her daughter, to secure her position in the Coleman family. Billie loves Moss with all her heart.

Sexual passages were too explicit for my taste but the narrative moves at a good clip and there's a variety of interesting characters who are well developed.

TEXAS RICH is pure entertainment and fine escapist fare.

Summary: Emotional
Review: I cannot express enough how much I LOVE this book. The story catches you right from the beginning and doesn't let you go. This is one of those books that the characters really come to life. Their joys will be yours and their sorrows too. I truely came to love these characters. Especially Billie. This is the first book of the Texas quartet. And it is the best of the four. Ms. Michaels takes us from the 1940's to the 1980's with the Coleman family. Everywhere from Philly to Texas, Guam to Hawaii, Japan to Vietnam. She creates wonderful visuals of these places. This story is filled with love (and great love scenes) and with heartbreak. When the characters cried I did too. Powerfull book.

Summary: a must read!!!
Review: the texas series by Fern Michaels absolutely takes you out of your world, and enter the family of the Texas Colemans.
this series is the best I have ever read.
I imagined every character, had them all pictured in my head.
I became so engrossed in the colemans and their trial and tribulations. I savored every word. couldn't put them down because they were so wonderful, but hated to end the series.
I recommend this series for someone who wants to escape your world and enter another.
be warned, you'll want more!!!!
absolutely the best!!!
