Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath

5.0

This story was simply amazing. I felt instantly connected to the characters and loved their heartfelt and beautiful journey. From the moment I started, I was completely enamored and the world around me melted away. It was an exceptional story!

I immediately fell in love with Houston and felt for him. I adored Amelia and this mix of innocence and strength she had. She was challenging in this quiet way I adored. I loved them meeting and learning about them as they travel together. Houston was wonderful, so quiet and gruff, falling for this sweet woman, thinking he doesn't deserve her and they’re in a situation where she's to marry someone else. I loved Amelia's fighting her feelings against what was right in front of her and what she was obligated to do. It killed me because I wanted them to be together but it made for this touching love story as feelings grew and emerged.

There's a bit of drama and a whole lot of heart and love. Houston and Amelia were in a complicated situation but it felt so real considering the time period. I loved meeting his brothers, Dallas and Austin. I found Dallas intriguing and loved how in charge he seemed. A part of me didn’t want to like him because of the situation but I couldn’t help myself, he was such a good guy. I loved the issues that Houston and Dallas were working through and their bonding moments.

I can’t begin to explain how brilliant I thought this was. The dialogue. The build. The descriptions. The moments that made my heart flip. The excellent character development. The incredible build. This was filled with incredibly sweet moments, heart-wrenching ones, and playful ones too. It was a well-rounded, really entertaining read.

Texas Destiny was a beautiful, well-written story of love and healing and finding your true dream. I highly recommend it!
