Truly enjoyed the book
Great as expected

Selected the book purely on author’s name and my experience with past books by her. Was not disappointed with this selection.
No one can tell a story quite like Janet Dailey. With a twist and turn on every page, this is a book that will keep up until you’ve turned that last page.
This is unquestionably one of the best books I’ve ever read! FIVE GLORIOUS TEXAS STARS!
WOW! Just when I thought nothing could surpass the gripping suspense of Texas Tough, along came this sequel to prove me wrong. I can’t find words to express how much I loved this contemporary western novel filled with suspense, danger, courtroom drama and second chance romance. Of the thousands of books I’ve read, this one easily ranks in the top 50. Seriously. IT’S THAT GOOD!
Here’s a bit of the plot but no big spoilers–I promise. Most of the characters in Texas Tough play a role in Texas Tall, including Beau and Natalie, Sky and Lauren, Jasper and Bernice. But this story focuses on the relationship between Will Tyler–head of the Rimrock Ranch–and his ex-wife Tori Tyler, the woman he still loves. Tori divorced him 8 years earlier because of his domineering nature and unwarranted jealousy, but she still harbors feelings for him that go beyond their mutual love for Erin, their 12-year-old daughter.
When Will is charged with manslaughter after he kills a man in order to protect Erin, Tori serves as his defense attorney in a nail-biting criminal trial that’s a highlight of the story. But there are many exciting subplots in this well-crafted narrative: a severe November storm kills prime cattle and puts the ranch’s entire future in jeopardy; a mysterious fire destroys the horse barn on Thanksgiving Day; human remains provide mute testimony to a long hidden murder; and a new man in Tori’s life tempts her to break the fragile bond she shares with Will.
As I expected, Stella–the villainess in Texas Tough–returns to play a major role in Texas Tall, and she is evil personified. Determined to utterly destroy Will Tyler in order to avenge her brother’s death, Stella will stop at nothing–including bribery, blackmail, kidnapping and murder–to achieve her malicious goal. Stella’s wicked machinations gave me chills!
Beneath the plot’s many dramatic twists and turns, the banked embers of Will and Tori’s long-ago love slowly reignite, glowing ever stronger until they flame into a blazing passion that can’t be denied. Their sexual encounters–though not explicit–are a beautiful expression of their rekindled love.
I enjoyed every minute of this book, from its descriptive settings, engaging characters (except Stella!), and unpredictable plot to its satisfying, Happily Ever After ending. I’m completely hooked by the Tylers of Texas series and will read Texas True next. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Best book I’ve read in a long time. A few storylines at one time.
Great book! Full of action and family drama.
