About this listen

Riley Hayes, the playboy of the Hayes family, is a young man who seems to have it all: money, a career he loves, and his pick of beautiful women. His father, CEO of HayesOil, passes control of the corporation to his two sons; but a stipulation is attached to Riley's portion. Concerned about Riley's lack of maturity, his father requires that Riley 'marry and stay married for one year to someone he loves'.

Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him for love suits Riley's purpose. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival. Win win.

Riley marries Jack and abruptly his entire world is turned inside out. Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right.

This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.

Fantastic

Absolutely one of my favorite series. Can read and now listen to it over and over again. Cant wait to listen to all 7 of the books. A full blown soap opera just in a book. The Heart Of Texas will get you from the 1st page. Hook, Line and Sinker.

Really interesting

There was nothing dull about this story and I loved Jacks nickname, “het boy” for Riley. It was interesting and fun and I look forward to more.

keeps you on your toes....

The story involves a lot of characters, a couple different stories that intertwine and has romance, suspense, and a bit of mystery. There are several times that I thought I knew the who dunnit/was involved but then it twists again and I find myself running through all the characters to figure out who else would fit. OMG I totally ruled out the actual who dunnit but it was an awesome twist.

The book is from multiple POV. After the 4th POV, I was tempted to call it quits because in the past the multiple POV books didn't work to well for me especially on audio with one narrator. I am so glad that I stuck with it. I think without the multiple POVs the book wouldn't have been as good and Sean Crisdon hit it out of the park. Differences were subtle but enough to tell you it was a different point of view (the book also makes sure to let you know whose POV it is but I find with audiobooks it is necessary to have different tones/voices for different POV.

I highly recommend it.

Very interesting and on the edge.

Loved the romance, mysteries that run through the book. But darn if it wasn't difficult to remember everyone's name! All and all, very well written.
