A Great Read!

Tense and moving, TEXAS GUN SMOKE is the second romantic suspense in Joanna Wayne's Four Brothers of Colts Run Cross series for Harlequin Intrigue. When Bart Collingsworth witnesses a car being run off the road near his family's ranch, he's pretty sure it's attempted murder. The female driver, however, insists it was just an accident but he's sure she's lying. His better judgment tells him the young beauty is big trouble while his cowboy's sense of honor compels him to help her. Jaclyn Macgregor wishes she could trust the handsome young rancher although bitter experience has taught her rich men like him break the hearts of poor women like her. Once he finds out the truth about her past, he'll run, not walk, away anyhow. Besides, Jaclyn suspects a womanizing Louisiana politician is behind her best friend's disappearance in New Orleans and now he's out to get her. Can they find her friend and expose a ruthless killer before Jaclyn becomes the next victim? Bart and Jaclyn are richly drawn characters whose worlds have been so very different they must overcome lifetimes of experience to trust each other and eventually fall in love. Ms. Wayne beautifully captures the strength of Bart's family who trust him in spite of overwhelming evidence that condemns Jaclyn. Whether describing ranch life, a small Texas town, New Orleans or the sleezey side of Louisiana politics, Ms Wayne's writing rings true and brings the action alive. From page one, this book will have you hooked.
