End of the Trail (The Texas Trail Series)
"What a truly wonderful book! Brooks Morgan is the ultimate slightly-flawed  hero with a cocky grin that's bound to make any female reader fall in love. After  a decade of drifting and learning life's lessons the hard way, Brooks wins a ranch  in a poker game. Trouble is, feisty Keri Langston thinks Raven Creek Ranch belongs  to her. If she'd known Brooks Morgan held the deed toherproperty, she might  have left him hanging on the end of the rope she found him on, instead of shooting  him free and saving his sorry life.But she didn't know. She did shoot him free.  And now he's a way-too-happy, far-too-handsome thorn in her side.The End of the  Trail is a hilarious, heart-rending, soul-searching rollercoaster ride. I loved  it, and didn't want the ride to end. But then, I always love McDonough's work. This  author presents stellar writing; wonderful, unexpected humorous moments; touching,  heart-wrenching situations that make it hard to know who to root for; and consistently  riveting storylines.I dare you to read this book and not smile! Thing is, you will  smile...andget a little weepy...andgasp in surprise a few times,  as well.End of the Trailreally isthatgood." -- Review by Vickie  McDonough"Because the Morgan Family Series has several authors, there is  a great deal of difference in the quality of the various reads even though characters  remain consistent. In End of the Trail writer Vickie McDonough does a better than  average job of producing a work that is readable, entertaining, and consistent with  the feel of the series as a whole. Her research is woven naturally into the plot  and character details without the excessive insertion of archaic terms or extraneous  facts that seem to plague other historical novels.I would recommend End of  the Trail to anyone looking for a light summer read. It's a good book to take on  vacation or trip to the beach and has the rare quality of incorporating Christian  culture and views without giving the impression they were tacked on to please the  publisher." -- Review by Elizabeth Baker, www.ElizabethBakerBooks.com"Vickie  McDonough is a favorite local author (I have lots of favorite authors), and her  humor shines through in spite of some serious subjects. I doubt that anyone will  be surprised when the boy finally gets the girl. If you like historical novels,  especially set in West Texas, or are already a fan of Vickie McDonough, you should  enjoy this book." -- Review by Cathy Bickerstaff, Tulsa Beacon, 8/1/12
