A TASTE OF TEXAS by Mary Lou Hagen is her first contemporary novel set in modern day Texas. As with her historical novels TARNISHED HONOR, TEXAS WIDOW and GAMBLER'S WIDOW she's captured the flavor of a state both steeped in history and focused on the future.
A TASTE OF TEXAS tells the story of Lyn DeVinney, a single parent with a painful past and Burne MacKenszie, the man who's determined to make her and her hostile young daughter part of his life.
Ms Hagen also blends a bit of mystery into her romance with a subplot revolving around thefts at the hero's construction site. But the main focus of the story is the intimate tale of two people falling in love against the sprawling backdrop of a state that's larger than life - Texas.
In addition, she's included some wonderful Texas recipes for the reader to try and enjoy.
A TASTE OF TEXAS is a definite taste treat.
