Texas Secrets - Das Erbe Der Gallaghers (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Maddie has no family left. She is asked to spend 30 days in her father's old house in Texas. She's a NY city chef just starting to make a name for herself and in between jobs. She decides to go to TX and try to learn about her ancestors. Boone is Sam's son. The same Sam who invited Maddie to stay in his house. Sam is deceased. He promises the house to Maddie if she stays 30 days. Boone keeps the ranch, but not his childhood home. Boone's wife was unfaithful to him and died along with his unborn child when she ran off with another man. His wife hated ranch life, she was a big city kind of gal. Just like Maddie. Boone distrusts Maddie from the get go. He's convinced she'll never last 30 days. Even if she does, she'll probably sell the house and go back to the big city and her life. Can Maddie last 30 days in TX? Will she learn anything about her dad or her grandmother? Reading her grandmother Rose's journal that she finds in the attic, she learns something that could change both her life and Boone's forever. Is it true? Can she verify it? She hires a private investigator. What will he find? Will it be good news or bad? Sam wanted Maddie and Boone to meet, what was his motive? Does he succeed from the grave? My first Jean Brashear book but won't be my last. I am hooked. I loved this book. Of course there were times when I just wanted to knock Boone upside the head because he was being so mean to Maddie because he was scared to show her how he truly felt but he redeemed himself because he realizes he was being mean right as it happens and he does try to apologize for his behavior. But at times I just wanted them to get together already. They both held themselves so closed off but they were feeling so much with both scared of being the one to disclose their feelings first. I guess the story would've been too short if they were honest from the beginning. I also loved all the secrets being revealed. Kept me reading through the night. Can't wait to continue the series.
