Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This slick contemporary romance focuses on a second member of the Texas Tyler family, the clan first seen in Texas! Lucky . It is a switch on the hoary scenario of boy loves girl, loses girl, wins girl: in these feminist times it is the girl (here a woman with her own real estate agency) who does the loving, the losing and the winning. Marcie Johns has loved Chase Tyler since grade school, but, being the class brain, knew she didn't have a chance with the handsome boy who called her Goosey. Years later, she has been retained by Chase and his wife, Tanya, to find the couple a house. When Tanya is killed in the car Marcie is driving, the bereaved Chase goes on the skids and it is Marcie who sobers him up, gets him back into the failing family oil business, offers a loan, proposes marriage. Marcie's machinations are misunderstood by Chase, adding a modicum of interest to an overly formulaic plot. The novel climaxes with Marcie and Chase in bed, where "the pleasure was immense. Overwhelming. Ecstasy eddied around him in shimmering waves that matched the tempo of her gentle contractions." Apparently Brown intends to immortalize the Tylers in a trilogy, which should please those seeking hard-bound counterparts to the Ewings of Dallas.

Product Description

All he wanted was enough whiskey to forget...

Ravaged by grief after a car crash took his cherished wife and unborn child, Chase Tyler had abandoned his family business. He'd hit the rodeo circuit and the bars with equal disregard for his life, unwilling to face his pain and move on—until a bad-tempered bull and a lady from the past forced him to....

All she wanted was his love...

Marcie Johns had known Chase all her life, had been driving the car when it crashed and his wife was killed. She still wondered if Chase blamed her for his loss. But she was willing to gamble her pride and happiness to give the man she'd adored since childhood something to live for. When she offered Chase a brazen proposition to save his company, he was shocked by her plan—and he hated himself for being tempted by the fire smoldering in her gorgeous eyes! Could a once-shy bookworm seduce the rugged cowboy of her dreams into letting her love heal his heart? --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Emotional Turmoil with Some Twists! Best One Yet!, Jul 3 2003
By Tracy Talley "Book Addict" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Texas! Chase (Paperback)
IMO, this is the best of the three books in the series. By the end of Lucky, we know Chase doesn't live happily ever after with his wife. In a tragic turn of events, a car crash took the lives of his beloved wife and unborn child in a matter of seconds.
Ravaged by grief, Chase turns to drinking and his old pasttime, bullriding. No one has seen him in months, no one knows where he is until the only person in the world who understands his grief runs into him by sheer accident...Marcie Johns, the woman driving the car the night his wife was killed.
Marcie has been racked with guilt since that fateful night two years ago. Driving her newfound friend and customer to a house showing, realtor and old family friend Marcie, is hit by a car who runs a redlight. Nearly dying herself, she hasn't seen nor heard from Chase Tyler since that night, but at a Fort Worth bullriding competition, she is shocked to see him drunk and riding.
Hateful and angry and lost, Chase resents her help and pity. Marcie makes it her mission to save him before he ends up killing himself. What she doesn't expect is for old feelings to surface. Feelings of love she's had for Chase since she was in K-5.
Chase in turn is shocked to realize he wants Marcie and needs her. But can he do this? Can he fall for the woman who was in the very car with his wife when she died? Is he willing to take that chance to love again?
Things become even foggier when Marcie offers Chase a chance at saving his company from financial ruin with a tempting proposition.
Can the bookworm seduce the broken and beaten cowboy?
I loved this touching story. This proves once again that love does indeed heal all wounds, both deep and small.

1.0 out of 5 stars Is this really the Sandra Brown who wrote Envy and Alibi?, May 14 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Texas! Chase (Paperback)
I agree with the reader from Sacramento and am also surprised at the high rating this book received. I'm not sure how readers can even compare this book to some of her other work. I was completely bored with it and only kept reading it because of Brown's reputation as a great author, hoping it would improve. And she is a great author, but I don't seem to enjoy her contemporary romances. This book was dull (putting it mildly) compared to her other books. Her historicals are good. Her suspense/romance are wonderful, but her contemporaries just don't cut it. But for the reader in Sacramento, don't give up on Brown. She really is a spectacular author, even though if her name hadn't been on the cover of this book, I never would have guessed that she wrote it. In fact, after reading some of her books such as Tiding of Great Joy, Standoff and this one, I sometimes wonder if there is someone else out there parading around as Sandra Brown. I've been consistently disappointed with her just plain romances. I recently read Envy and I couldn't put it down. It's a top notch read. I also loved the Alibi, Witness, Fat Tuesday,Breath of Scandal, Mirror Image, to name a few. But those books had quite a bit of suspense/thriller plot to them and that's where she shines. After reading Texas Chase, I'm not in a big hurry to read the other two in the trilogy. The only reason I gave this book 1 star is because I had to.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hero, Chase was a complete jerk w/ no redeeming qualities, Mar 13 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Texas! Chase (Paperback)
I am surprised by the high ratings for this book. I thought this was a horrible book.

The plot was good, and I loved the heroine, Marcie. Marcie was a very strong, confident, and knew exactly what she wanted out of life. And what she wanted was Chase. It was a little creepy that she bought the house Chase's wife wanted before she died though.

But I couldn't believe the hero, Chase was such a complete jerk. He had no redeeming qualities what so ever.... he never seems to mature throughout the whole book... He's so self-centered in the reading of this book that it just made my blood boil, because I wanted something bad to happen to him.

Puuleaseee! What is there that is attractive at all about this beefcake jerk with the maturity of a spoiled brat. ...

This is the second Sandra Brown book I have read. ... But "Texas! Chase" has got to be one of the worst books I have read. I don't believe I will try to read the other Texas books. The other characters, brother and sister of this book were not interesting characters either. Books about them would probably just be about torturous too.
