The New York Times–bestselling author presents a modern Western romance “as satisfying and comfy as well-worn boots” (Publishers Weekly). He’s the prodigal son ready to claim his legacy . . . He came home to sell his family’s failing ranch, but once twenty-year-old Bull Tyler sets foot on the Rimrock, he’s determined to tame the rugged land and make it his own. First he’ll have to take on the … make it his own. First he’ll have to take on the powerful Prescott clan, who’ll do anything to get their hands on the Tylers’ holding—even murder. Then Bull sets eyes on the breathtaking woman earmarked to be Ferg Prescott’s bride. Now nothing will stop Bull from taking the land—or the lady who stirs his blood like no other—and building a dynasty worthy of both . . .
She’s the pampered beauty he won’t let get away . . .
She was born to privilege, and raised to do the right thing. But Susan Rutledge has never felt anything like the fire she feels for Bull Tyler. Yet can she defy her father’s strong will and leave her secure life for a ramblin’ rodeo man? She’d have to be crazy—or crazy in love . . .

Janet Daily is probably my favorite author an has been for years. Her stories are so visual, you feel like you’re there immersed in the element of the story. Hard to put down
Another thrilling story in the exciting Tylers of Texas series! FIVE SPLENDID STARS!
I’m so glad I discovered the “Tylers of Texas” six-book series! Texas Fierce–the fourth book in the series–is actually Book One chronologically, since the story begins back in 1970, when young Virgil (Bull) Tyler returns to the Rimrock Ranch to claim his inheritance and create a dynasty of strong Tyler men and women.
Here’s a bit of the plot but no big spoilers–I promise. After his father’s mysterious death, Bull Tyler gives up his promising bull-riding career and returns to a ranch that’s suffering from drought and sadly in need of major repairs, but Bull has little money. He’s sorely tempted to sell the ranch to greedy Hamilton Prescott, the wealthy owner of a neighboring ranch. But when he refuses Prescott’s devious offer, things soon get downright nasty, because Ham Prescott will stop at nothing to get what he wants–including murder.
You’ll find lots of conflict, suspense, mystery and danger in this fast-moving plot, with surprising twists and revelations along the way. But there’s plenty of romance as well, as a powerful attraction develops between Bull and Susan Rutledge, a beautiful young woman who happens to be engaged to Ferg Prescott, Ham’s nefarious son. (Father and son are evil personified, believe me!) When Susan falls in love with Bull and breaks her engagement to Ferg, things don’t go smoothly for our two lovers.
Overall, this is a gripping story of one man’s unyielding determination to rebuild his ranch, claim the woman he loves, and create a proud dynasty–the Tylers of Texas. I’ve enjoyed the entire series, with its books about Bull’s three sons–Will, Beau and Sky–and his granddaughter, Erin. I wish I’d read Texas Fierce first, since Bull’s story takes place decades before the rest and provides the background for the rest of the series. But hey–it’s all good. Dive in and enjoy each of these exciting western novels by the incomparable Janet Dailey. They deserve five stars and my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!
Big fan of author.
Good Janet Fail book. Not her best but a good read.
It has been some time since I have read this. I keep track of all books. This was one of my most favorite authors. Her books are always exceptional. Never has written a bad book. Never disappointing. If you buy her books, you will always enjoy it. She has lots of books out there. They are all good.
It was just ok. I like it but is was just ok.
Love this book did not want it to end
Janet Dailey has been one of my favorite authors. I love the twists and turns of Texas fierce. It took me awhile to figure out some of the plot because she’s great it twisting around and keeping the story highly interesting. Another great read
Should have been book 1 in Tyler series instead of number 4.
Rough terrain, rugged men and tempting women lay the landscape for a bumpy ride. Texas Fierce is a hearty tale of treachery and temptation. Bull and Susan are caught up in forces beyond their control. Danger resides on the horizon and it will take all of their strength to survive the irresistible pull they feel for each other. Fierce is the perfect adjective for a story as bold as the people who live it and the love that grows from it.
