Come on you guys - Mona Gay Thomas/Gayle Wilson does not sound like Jim. Put these books in the right line up. WHISPER MY LOVE by Gayle Wilson, is #2 of the "Home To Texas" series. This is the story of Rio Delgado, the illigimate son of Drew McCullar [the old goat]and half-brother to Mac and Chase McCullar. He spent 5 years of his life in prison because he wanted Chase to warn Mac about an attempt on Mac's life. Getting out of prison and with nowhere to go Rio unconciously heads for Mac's ranch. Chase was fit to be tied that Rio was allowed out on parole. He ends up meeting Anne Richardson, sister to the man that is courting Jenny McCullar, Mac's wife. Rio is looking for his black stallion [loved this part of the story - a bit of a mystery]. Anne is staying at the McCullar ranch while Jenny goes to the big city with Trent Richardson, the Texas state senator, along with her shepard, Rommell. What with a baby being born and Doc Horn's murder, Rio is in deep trouble. Yet because of Doc's faith in Rio, Anne learns to also trust him. Someone gets the people worked up against Rio and tries to get him killed, Rio is in bad shape. Finally a few comments from Anne starts Chase thinking that he may have been wrong about Rio's involvement in the murders [smart gal]. Jenny takes Rio in to give him a chance to heal and slowly gains faith in him too. You don't look on this story so much as a mystery as just getting involved with people that have problems. Great Story! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- Definitely better than a 5 star and certainly the set is a keeper. [that is hard to find]
Heart-Pounding Romance and Suspense--Wilson's Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I haven't always enjoyed Gayle Wilson's books, but this one was nothing less than spectacular. The characters have both been deeply wounded in the past, and only through their love can they find healing. Of course, first they have to deal with angry mobs and family strife. Rio is a great hero, and though Anne's trauma isn't dealt with nearly as much as Rio's, she has a great scene where she faces down the sheriff that made me want to cheer. They're both people you can really root for, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I got a little misty-eyed toward the end. By far, the best of Wilson's "Home to Texas" trilogy. Don't miss it.
