Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books The Heart of Texas (Texas #1)
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.

3.5 StarsIf you like the forced marriage trope, coupled with high drama, family politics, old feuds, murder mysteries, lots of plot twists and turns, and really entertaining narration then look no farther - The Heart of Texas has it all!This is the quintessential feuding families high drama soap opera story. It's absolutely scandalous!Sean Crisden is absolutely wonderful! He brings Jack's Texas drawl and growling tones, and Riley's upper crust and more subtle tones, to life as well as doing aI'm so mad that I didn't like this book. Pissed. All of my friends love this AND it has a GFY-virgin. The nerve of me!! Tsk, tsk.But this reminded me why I never watch soap operas. I hate them. They are muy ridiculoso. This book started out so strong for me. Forced gay marriage with cowboys??? YES PLEASE! I loved everything about the first 30% of the book. Then, the absurdity started. My first clue that this wasn't going to work for me were the POV changes. Like a soap opera, the POV switches
3.5 starsThis past weekend, I was on vacation in Austin, TEXASsurrounded by cowboys and cutiescraving one of those over-the-top readsneeding a little smut (ahemin my book)something I could pick up, put down, go out and have some fun, and then return tothat would keep me entertained.Enter The Heart of Texasand though I could probably think this through and pick apart all that was wrong with it, I cant help but feel it was so RIGHT! Exactly what I needed/wanted.It was SO ridiculous, WAY soap-opera
I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK, OH MY GOD THIS IS DEFINITELY A FAVORITE BOOK OF MINE. JACK AND RILEY FOREVER! Riley and Jack!The Heart of Texas was one of the first m/m books I read. It's also one of my favorites. When I first started reading the book, I wasn't really sure if I would like it or not. But I soon found myself craving more of this wonderful book and I was addicted to these characters and the overall story. I don't think there was any one thing I liked about this book the most. It
This is a real romance-with-family-drama, and the twists in the plot of family dysfunction and feuding come fast and furious. The romance part is very sweet, very hot, and pretty credible. The relationship between Riley and Jack begins as a sort of twisted sham-marriage and fairly quickly becomes real. I did think the GFY element sort of disappeared without any real consideration or hesitation on Riley's part. But maybe having a bi best friend for so many years really did make Riley so
How to review? Firstly I enjoyed this story, the question is did I enjoy it for the right reasons. For me this story brought back happy memories. The main plot line of a blackmailed marrige was a popular plot in the hundreds of MF romances I used to read and enjoy, plus the whole Dallas feel, (I really don't want to say anything but anyone that reads and has watched will see what I mean), was part of the appeal for me. Although, I would't label this as a soap, it was much much better. The
Oh, this is the BEST of the BEST of the BEST of the Forced/Arranged Marriage/Mating/Bonding genre! It, honest to god, does not get ANY better than this!MC Riley Hayes is rich, beautiful, straight, single and ready to mingle until his father decides to put a stipulation on giving up control of the family company to his son. Riley must marry for love and STAY married for a year in order to retain his portion of the company. So, Riley decides to stick it to the old man by marrying the son (the
