Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

Laural Merlington narrates this saga of the Austin-Seth Coleman dynasty with skill and clear enunciation. When Coleman's daughter, Maggie, inherits the family home of Sunbridge, she plans an elaborate party to forge a new sense of family identity. Instead, old rivalries and resentments arise, and new temptations emerge. Larger-than-life characters are distinguished through subtle vocal nuances. Southern and Japanese accents are clear and soft. The depiction of Maggie's teenaged son, Cole, as a spoiled, nasty drunk and heir apparent is compelling while the bitter rivalry with his cousin Riley from Japan reveals seismic cultural differences between the two. Complex family dynamics will keep you riveted. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Product Description

The magnificent Austin empire built by the domineering Seth Coleman before World War II now belongs to Moss and Billie’s daughter Maggie. She has invited the whole family to a Fourth of July barbecue in celebration of a renewed sense of family pride she’s determined to forge at Sunbridge. But as loved ones gather, they bring along old resentments and new temptations destined to generate more than a little heat.

Maggie has finally decided to divorce Cranston Tanner. But as she struggles to be a good mother to her resentful son Cole, her love for a special man could cost her the loyalty of her family. In the meantime, Cole becomes locked in a bitter rivalry with his cousin Riley, heir apparent to Sunbridge, while Maggie’s broken-hearted daughter Sawyer is about to face a much greater tragedy. And Maggie’s sister, Susan, the renowned musician, arrives home for the most terrifying performance of her life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where in Texas?, Jun 19 2004
By "whlcat" (west of Austin, TX, where it doesnt snow 6" anytime) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Texas Heat (Mass Market Paperback)
I have found the Texas series interesting for light reading, but like most people, I want a minimum of 'poetic license' about my home! After reading the last book 'Texas Sunrise' first, then the first two in the series, I feel certain Ms Michaels' research for these books did NOT include the briefest glance at a map. My mind kept giving me those "say what?" feelings as the terrain, topography, flora and weather of central Texas were ill-represented. If she wanted these stories set in North Dakota, she could well have said so. It was distracting to say the least, to read about a December snowfall that is unheard of in that area. The real topper was, however on page 500 of 'Texas Heat' when she places Austin in the Texas Panhandle...only about 600 miles off course....
I wonder how the Japanese, Hawaiians, and New Yorkers accept the descriptions of their homes?

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning second novel in an unforgettable series!, Dec 28 1999
By Matthew D. Hydeman "voyage" (Tucson, Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Texas Heat (Mass Market Paperback)
Fern Michaels continues her journey deep in the heart of Texas with this second novel in the Coleman family saga. Though we still follow Billie Ames Coleman Kingsley from time to time, this novel is more focused on Billie's eldest daughter, the headstrong and passionate Maggie. Now the mistress of the family spread Sunbridge, Maggie has her hands full with an ungrateful son at odds with his Amerasian cousin, her struggle to overcome her demons and attempting to re-establish some sort of connection with her daughter, Sawyer, whom she abandoned to Billie when Sawyer was an infant. Add to the mix a forbidden love for Maggie, a shocking accusation that places the Colemans against the law and loads of good old-fashioned family conflict and you have a wonderful second novel for Michaels' TEXAS series. Readers will not be disappointed!
