Texas Splendor
by Bobbi Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
He Claimed Her Body…
Though
an Easterner born and bred, Trista Sinclair fell in love with the rugged Texas
terrain the moment she arrived to join her fiancé. But the warnings she heard
around the ranch about the dangers awaiting her in the wild terrain of Texas
come to life when she is captured while out riding by a blue-eyed Comanche
warrior...a man whose sensual touch is far more dangerous than his brute
strength.
But Wanted Her Heart And Soul…
Lance
Barrett has never been tempted to take a captive until he sees a beautiful
woman with hair like spun gold taming a magnificent stallion. Trista Sinclair
is his half-brother's fiancé, and the perfect means of revenge against the
white father who rejected him. Yet what Lance wants most is the one thing
Trista swears never to give--her willing surrender. Torn between the life each
has known and a desire neither can resist, only together can they claim a love
as vast and wild as the West itself...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Lance
was closing in fast on the golden stallion. His heartbeat quickened at the
prospect of finally attaining the prize. The golden one would be his.
It
was then that Trista came into Lance’s line of vision. Lance glanced back,
wondering if others were with her, and he was relieved to find she was alone.
The last thing he wanted was a confrontation with any whites. Right now, only
the golden one mattered.
Trista
grew even more excited as she closed in on the wild stallion. She rose up and
threw her rope, but just then Lance charged past her. Shocked at seeing the
warrior, she dropped the rope and reined in, but her faithful mount stumbled
and she was thrown.
Lance
captured the golden one and, after tying the stallion up, went back to search
for the woman. He had no idea if she was armed, so he moved slowly and
silently. He came upon Trista just as she managed to sit up. She looked up at
him, and he felt a sudden unexpected jolt of recognition. The woman was none
other than the beautiful female he’d seen from a distance at his father’s house
the night before.
Terror
filled Trista as she stared up at the warrior. She saw only sun-bronzed
nakedness and streaks of red and black paint slashed across his face. She had
heard of the horror of Comanche raids and knew she had to act. There was no
time to think. In a lightning move, she grabbed a handful of the sandy soil and
threw it in the warrior’s face, and then ran.
Lance
had not been expecting her attack. Angered, yet respecting her daring, he wiped
the grit from his eyes and started after her.
Trista
rushed down the hillside, but lost her footing and tumbled to the bottom,
crashing against a bolder. Excruciating pain wracked her, but she staggered to
her feet, clutching her side. A pebble fell, and she looked up. Her eyes
widened as she saw the warrior silently standing atop the hill, his arms folded
across the powerful width of his chest. She forced herself to keep moving.
She
managed only a few tortured steps before it was over. He grabbed her and held
her pinned against him in submission. Terror filled her, but she fought to keep
her fear from showing. Someone had told her the Comanche respected only
strength, so she bravely raised her eyes to meet his. It was then she
discovered the startling color of her captor’s eyes – his gaze was a riveting,
vivid blue. She tried to fight, but his hands were unyielding cuffs of steel.
Lance
was unaware of the mercilessness of his grip as he stared down at her. He saw
the ring she wore on her left hand that bore the insignia of the Barrett brand.
He wondered coldly at her connection to the Royal Diamond and the Barretts.

ReplyDeleteHi! I hope everybody enjoys Texas Splendor!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book.
ReplyDeleteWho is your favorite literary character? Bernie Wallace BWallace1980(at)hotmail(d0t)com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character is my first hero - Marshall Westlake in Rapture's Rage.
ReplyDeleteAs to other authors' characters - I have to say Jim McKay in Donald Hamilton's The Big Country. It's an oldie, and they made a movie out of it, but it's a great western.
Great post and I appreciate getting to find out about another great book. Thanks for all you do and for the hard work you put into this. Greatly appreciated!
