Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This final novel in the Tyler trilogy (begun in Texas! Lucky ) is summer-reading fluff; a few interesting plot twists, stereotypical but amusing characters and situations, and the factory-made happy ending. Headstrong Sage Tyler expects an engagement ring for Christmas. Instead, she gets jilted: Sage is too flamboyant for her finance's straitlaced family. Home to recuperate over the holidays, Sage is stuck in her kid-sister role, with no definite career plans and no family to compare with her two brothers'. She's also attracted and annoyed by lanky blond cowboy-type Harlan Boyd, a drifter hired for a project to save the family's ailing oil company, Tyler Drilling. Harlan exudes the strength and sexual magnetism her ex-fiance lacked, but his keen perception of Sage's vulnerability unsettles her, whereas he's too independent to commit. Joining Tyler Drilling, Sage must work as Harlan's sales partner as both deny an irresistible chemistry. Their bond intensifies through many bedroom scenes, while business takes off and Harlan's past conflicts are resolved.

From Kirkus Reviews
Cowboys, horses and tough-talking blondes duke it out in this feisty conclusion to former television weatherperson Brown's lowbrow TEXAS! trilogy--this featuring the spoiled youngest daughter of the Dallas-like Tyler clan and her passionate search for love. She's young. She's headstrong. She's Texan, and she's blond. But she's also a virgin, and in this world where women like their men ``buck naked,'' inexperienced females like Sage Tyler can't be expected to know their own minds. Just graduated from the University of Texas with an MBA, this youngest heir of the temporarily-out-of-pocket Tyler oil family (little sister to the two previous books' male heroes, Chase and Lucky) is jilted by her snobbish upper-crust fianc‚ on Christmas Eve. Outraged, the family spitfire hides the news from her older brothers while she plots her revenge. But Harlan Boyd, the long, lean hired-hand-with-a- mysterious-past just taken on at Tyler Drilling, learns Sage's secret and can't resist teasing her about it now and then. Sage hates being teased. But she loves Harlan's blue eyes and the way his jeans fit just right. Hates his power over her. But loves him in bed. Hates him. Loves him. Hates him. Loves him. Through business crises, a family baby boomlet, and a desperate swing across Texas--in which Sage and Harlan try to sell remodeled oil- well pumps to farmers as irrigation pumps--Sage tussles with this smooth-talking inappropriate male until his past is exposed and Harlan is revealed to be ``loaded with a capital L''--rich enough to save Tyler Drilling and marry Sage--rhinestones, shoulder-pads, and all. Brown manages better with this female protagonist than with the male-animal lobotomy cases in TEXAS! CHASE, but bedroom dialogue that starts with ``Oh, what the hell?'' and culminates in ``Damn, Sage'' ain't for everyone. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

THE LONE STAR STATE ISN'T LONELY ANY MORE,
By
This review is from: Texas! Sage (Audio CD)
This is the first narration we've heard by Actors Studio member Coleen Marlo, and it's prime listening as she captures the voice of our plucky heroine Sage Tyler. Marlo is an accomplished actress and knows not to imbue these characters with outre Texas accents but delivers her reading with subtle permutations of the sounds of the Lone Star State.With TEXAS! SAGE, the final offering in the Tyler family trilogy thye focus is on Sage, a smart gal with an MBA from the University of Texas. Yes, she's intelligent, quick, but perhaps not so adept at picking men. Sage is expecting Santa to bring her an engagement ring but instead she finds a lump of coal - in other words she's jilted. So she returns home for the holidays, hoping to get over her fiancé. Well. There is a lot to keep her mind occupied - the family business has taken a nose dive and there's a rather annoying new guy around, Harlan Boyd, a drifter hired to try to salvage Tyler Drilling. Well, this is Sandra Brown - need we say that sparks fly between Harlan and Sage, especially when they begin working and bedding together? But, Harlan has some issues in his past and is disinclined to commitment. Brown fans well know how TEXAS! SAGE will turn out but will thoroughly enjoy hearing about it from Coleen Marlo. - Gail Cooke

The Final Chapter in the Texas Series...4 Stars.....,
By
This review is from: Texas! Sage (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked Sage Tyler in the previous two books, 'Lucky' and 'Chase', but she was a little too haughty and bratty in this one. She's older now and 'grown-up', but she acts more immature in my opinion.Coming on the heels of the emotinal rollarcoaster ride in Chase's book, Sage finds herself dumped and alone on the porch steps of her fiance; Christmas Eve no less and a chuckling and handsome cowboy named Harlan to witness it all in its humilitating end in the shadows. Sent by her brothers to come and get her so she wouldn't miss the birth of her newest nephew/niece, this time from her oldest brother and his new wife Marcie, the cowboy and newest worker Harlan Boyd. Harlan doesn't play games and isn't interested in a spoiled brat like Sage Tyler. But she somehow gets under his skin like a prickly cactus and tall, blonde and sinfully gorgeous Harlan bites off more than he can chew. Sparks ensue when both try to hide there attraction for one another and the family company Tyler Drilling is almost in ruins making tensions worse. But Harlan has something up his sleeve that could save them all. Can Sage put aside her anyomosity for one week to work by his side? Can she put aside her headstrong and spoiled ways to see the heart of the man inside? Good story and finish to the series, I was just a bit put off by her bratty self involvement to fully enjoy the story. Harlan although was great and I truly liked him, and Lucky shined in this book with his off color jokes and humor. The brothers and mother made it worthwhile. Tracy Talley~@
