    The Texan....just as good as the first book

    I am in love with this series. This is the second book in the series. Owen and Bayleighs' story is told. The feud between their family continues. Bayleigh's brother Luke goes missing and she asks for Owens help. They end up looking for him and in the mean time run across a group of men who have hijacked a nerve gas bomb. Bayleigh and Owen then find themselves in a lot of trouble as they confront these men. Their story is great and they get their happy ending. I love the story of the two Parents Blackjack and Lauren who have been in love for over 30 years....their love story continues in this book.
    I am onto the third book, I can't wait to start it.

    OMG! What a couple!!

    I loved the story of Owen and Bayleigh. I loved that they could banter and fight and love and be so passionate. And they still found ways to rely on and trust each other. Perfect Partners! Owen's tears said it all!

    Simply the best

    The Bittercreek Series by Joan Johnston is simply the best out there to date. This story captures your heart and soul and leads it through the unthinkable. No one can make you laugh, cry, smile, and want revenge quite like Joan Johnston.

    GREAT FOLLOW-UP TO THE COWBOY!!!

    This book continues to reveal new personalities within the Hawthorne/Creed families and lets you understand further how hate is taught and can last life-times as well as how love can win. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to The Loner

    CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK

    I read THE COWBOY and LOVED it. I could not wait for the next book. When it came out I read THE COWBOY all over again and loved it even more. Then read THE TEXAN it wasn't better than THE COWBOY but it was great. Can't wait for the last of the trilogy

    Wonderful follow-up

    I read the Cowboy and waited patiently for the Texan to come out.....it was worth the wait. Loved it!! Plan on sitting down and reading them both again, can't hardly wait for the next segment to this story.

    Exciting contemporary romance

    In Amarillo, still hurting from the murder of his father at the hands of a Blackthorne, teenager Luke Creed accuses Clay Blackthorne of stealing deadly VX-nerve gas mines. Besides the potential danger of the gas, Clay¿s twin brother, Texas Ranger Owen, has an added incentive to finding the culprit who murdered a peer.

    Not long after his public condemnation of Clay, Luke vanishes. Owen wonders if Luke knows more about the missing VX-nerve gas than he said during his mouthy accusations. Luke¿s older sister Bayleigh refuses to help her family¿s enemy when Owen turns to her. Instead, she offers a deal in which she accompanies him as he searches for her sibling. On the road, they fall in love, but besides the family feud to contend with, it appears as if law enforcement types from the National, Guard, Texas Rangers, or the Feds may be behind the theft.

    As with THE COWBOY and ¿The Captive Hearts¿ series, the acrimonious feud between the Blackthorne and Creed clans serve as the impetus for the fast-moving novel THE TEXAN. The story line is filled with action, adventure, and an exciting contemporary romance. Luke and Bayleigh have a lot to overcome besides family problems including the danger of an unknown assailant before they can forge a lasting relationship. The characters remain strong and Joan Johnston¿s myriad of fans will feel fully entertained and want to read the next feuding novel, THE LONER.

    Very good book

    I've just completed reading The Texan and found it very good. I'm not sure if you are aware but the book I bought has a defect. From page 1 to 86 all pages follow, then after reading page 86 the next page is page 55. My book does not contain pages 87 to 119, instead I have pages 55 to 86 twice in my book. I have no idea what happend from 87 to 119. I hope not all your other books have been printed the same.

    Lots of conflict. Great main characters!

    All Creeds hated Blackthornes! Bayleigh Creed was no exception. The mother of the Blackthornes had killed Bayleigh's father in premeditated murder. It did not matter that Bayleigh's mother had been the target instead of the father. What mattered was that instead of prison, she was sent to a comfortable mental institution for the rich! Then it was a Blackthorned who had permanently crippled one of her brothers, Sam!

    Bayleigh was a local vet. She did not let her opinion of the Blackthornes stop her from helping their live stock. But not all of the Creeds had level heads. When three crates of VX mines (nerve gas) was stolen from the area, Luke Creed accused Clay Blackthorne. Luke had seen Clay meeting with someone at the armory only two days prior to the theft. Clay's brother, Owen, was a Texas Ranger. In fact, Owen was one of many who were searching for the gas.

    When Luke called Bayleigh on her cell phone and then disappeared, she knew that she needed Owen's help to save him from whatever he had gotten himself into. But she would only help Owen find Luke, and the gas, if he took her with him! After all, she just could not trust a Blackthorne with her brother!

    *** Awesome romance and mystery with a touch of a thriller thrown in. Lots of twists and turns that will keep the reader hooked until the very end. ***
