Texas Tough (The Tylers of Texas Book 2)

Another good book by Janet Dailey. A little different from some of her other books but a good difference and good characters.

As a longtime Janet Dailey fan, I was pleased and surprised to discover the "Tylers of Texas" six book series, all of which have been published since she died in 2013. How is this possible? Did she write them before she died, or is someone else writing under her name? My research uncovered no answers.Anyway, Texas Tough--the second book in the series--is just as good as the books in Janet Dailey's earlier western series, the Calder Saga. Texas Tough features a romance between a wealthy congressman's daughter (Lauren Prescott) and a handsome half-Comanche horse whisperer (Sky Fletcher) who works on the Tyler's sprawling Rimrock Ranch in Texas. It's lust at first sight between these two, but Lauren's father forbids any relationship between his only child and a half-Indian ranch hand. Lust won't be denied, though, and they soon get together for semi-steamy sex that gradually leads to love.Their romance is enveloped by a gripping plot of greed, ambition and murder, as Lauren's father is sucked into a nefarious scheme that threatens to ruin his career. The evildoers in this book are women, one of whom is Sky's half-sister. I'll skip the plot details, because nothing should spoil this suspenseful page turner. It culminates with a terrifying range fire that threatens to destroy . . . well, enough said. I promised no spoilers.There's a satisfying epilogue, but the evildoers are still on the loose and will doubtless wreak more havoc in other books. I hope they finally get the punishment they deserve. I especially enjoyed meeting all the members of the extended Tyler family, many of whom will also reappear in the series. But the unquestioned hero of this story is Sky Fletcher--a dark and brooding man with a sensitive, loving heart. I enthusiastically recommend Texas Tough and the entire Tylers of Texas series!

The Tyler’s of Texas are a tough, but caring family! When Beau and Natalie decide to leave, everyone is distressed. Then, the fire arrives and the brothers help each other survive. Finally, some of the truth about Sky comes out and he needs to talk with Will and Beau…

I am enjoying this continuing saga. The characters are becoming like friends to me. Can't wait to read the next book to see what is happening in their lives.

The story of Sky (One of my favorite characters) and Lauren is one of the best in the Tyler series. Again the characters are consistently well developed as well as the setting of the Rimrock Ranch. Dailey's rich descriptors put the reader deep into the story. This book has a few more twists and turns - well worth the read.

Great series!! I enjoyed the first two books and an very glad I have the complete set! Awesome summer read

I really liked this novel as it was one of those you hate to put down. It wasn't predictable amma had a believable story line. I liked it so much I paid to get the 2nd book in the series!

The story of Rose tells of the earlier days of Bill Tyler and his son's on the ranch. A good story of early days in Texas and how the Tyler's of Texas managed to live the tough life on their ranch and people who were part of the early days. A very nice story after all the hardship, lies and very tough people.

Not happy with the quality of this book looks like it came from second hand store had been wet.

Janet Dailey is my favourite writer, so all of her books that I have read are amazing. I enjoyed the Calder series and all of Christmas ones.

Great read, as usual.
