Very Good Reading

The Bass family saga continues. Jack Bass discovers his wretched beginning and finds love in this book, which is number two out of the series of five. I really enjoyed it. Harmon and Amanda Bass are back, and their story is as intriguing as ever. Emily, Jack's squeeze, is a wonderful addition to the mix. Unlike the stereotypical romance heroine, she is older than Jack, and has a checkered past to overcome. Dana Ransom's books have involved plots and complex characters; you will not be bored by this one.

An Exciting and Unpredictable Love Story

As a big fan of Dana Ransom aka Rosalyn West aka Nancy Gideon, she truly out does herself with this one! Texas Destiny, the second installment of the Bass family series, is by far the most heartfelt page turner I have ever read. The lead character is Jack Bass, a Texas Ranger with a tough spirit and tender heart. He meets Emily Marcus in the aftermath of an Indian ambush. From the very first sentence of this book, the excitement is nonstop. The story boast so many twists and turns that at times you are truly breathless. The events unfold with such perfection thanks to Ms. Ransom's amazing story telling. This book has it all, realistic romance, convincing dialogue, intense action, and best of all..little touches of humor inserted at just the right time. Both characters have darkness in their pasts, Jack even more so. I do suggest reading the first book of the Bass family(Temptation's Trail)which introduces Jack's uncle, tracker for the Texas Rangers. With only a few years apart in age, Jack and Harmon remain close through out the whole series, the darkness of their pasts intertwining. And believe it or not, Emily Marcus has a tie in there as well, even though she had never met Jack or Harmon before.The story picks up and doesn't stop. I recommend it to all Western/Historical romance fans. Indian beliefs and traditions are involved, Jack's mother and uncle being half Apache. Jack and Emily fall in love quick, the hard part is overcoming the odds. You'll laugh, you may cry, mainly..if you pick up this book, you'll be hooked. Just be careful, Jack Bass is very easy to fall in love with. Enjoy!!
