Texas Lonely (Texas Hearts)Texas Bad Boy (Texas Hearts)Imagine a 16 year old Texas ranch boy forced from his home by his angry father. He never goes home again. Rootless, he becomes a hunter/guide and is befriended by Cy in the back of beyond near the Wind River Area of Wyoming. After Cy passes, Mitch Gallagher inherits the handmade and furnished log cabin. It is the closest thing to home he has known in years. He loves his rustic haven and delays leaving.One day nature's sounds are broken with the call of a child on his land over two miles from a parking place. Five year old Davey seeks his grandfather. Thus begins a deeply emotional second book in Brashear's trilogy. Most of the book is peopled with three characters and wonderfully done. Brashear's writing is sensual and her description is in top form. Both Mitch and Perrie, Cy's granddaughter, are wounded souls who come together and heal each other as two parts of a whole. Davey with his questions and observations keeps the story spot-on. Eventually, the outside world arrives to help them move toward Happily Everafter.This is an incredible read for phrasing and the use of all the senses. Bravo!
