There's nothing more romantic than the Wild West and Mabel Milton should know - she's a real life cowgirl, single-handedly running her own ranch ever since her parents died.

Good looking, arrogant and just plain irritating, Mabel somehow finds herself agreeing to drive her head across to Dodge City with his. Although his constant jokes are tiring, Mabel is forced to admit that the man knows his stuff and they manage to get their herds to Kansas without losing too many heads of cattle.Nonetheless, that's just the beginning of their adventures as events in Dodge City take a difficult - and fatal - turn, marking the start of some troubled times as the harshest winter on record takes hold.

And what will happen when Jesse's old business rival, Max Harper, arrives in town?Heart of Texas is the exciting new historical romance series set in the Texas plains.

Mabel Milton has been a cattle rancher since she could walk. After her parents died, she took over the family ranch and is now one of the most successful ranchers in the area. She doesn't need a man to support her and if she ever marries, it will be for love and no other reason. Her life is about to experience some interesting new twists and turns.

This is a collection of five novellas that read through as one seamless story. The characters are interesting and the story is entertaining. I was drawn in from the very beginning and couldn't wait to find out what happened. ( )

Review:

"Heart of Texas: The Series by K.L. Hemley was a good well written romantic series in the 'Wild West' in Texas for Ms.Mabel Milton. After the death of her parents, Mabel was found running her ranch single handed owning 'one of the most successful ranches in the area.' Thing change somewhat for Mabel when she meets Jesse Lockwood and finds his 'constant jokes were tiring' but he did know what he was taking about when it came to cattle. After meeting Jesse they both agree to drive her cattle to Kansas. While in Dodge City problems arrive for Jesse's men, however, they are able to make it back to the ranch. After arriving back on the ranch from the cattle drive as winter came on and it was one of the 'harshest winters on record.' Would Mabel be able to survive on her ranch in the harsh winter weather without the help of Jesse? Would Mabel and Jesse be able to 'co-operate together?' Well it seems like things were going well for Mabel until a new arrival neighbor by the name of Max Harper arrives in town. Now, what will Max bring into this picture? What will Mabel over hear from Max that will change her life as she thought it would have been? This is where I say you must pick up this read to get all of these questions answered and see how this author will bring it all out to the reader. I really enjoyed the read that included 'The Series.' There are five books from the series: Life, Love and Longhorns, For Love or Not at All, Love Comes Later, To the Max and Lies and Laughter. If you are in for a sweet romantic read you have come to the right place for "The Heart of Texas: The Series would be recommended to you. ( )
