Texas Born

Texas Born by Diana Palmer

Their love was born in Texas...

Gabriel Brandon had been her hero ever since she was a girl and he'd rescued her, an orphan, from sure ruin. And Michelle Godrey had loved him forever, the mysterious rancher with the dark eyes, her protector and guardian angel. Now she'd blossomed into a woman. But could Michelle ever cast aside the shadows that lingered between them? Could she show Gabriel that their Lone Star love was true?


Michelle is living in hell. Her dad died and left her to live with her step mother, who hated her. Michelle tries to keep her head down and just make it to graduation. Roberta made it her life's mission to sell all of Michelle's dad's things and didn't care if it was special to Michelle.  When Michelle can't take it anymore she goes and sits in the middle of the road and hopes a car hits her and ends all of the misery she's enduring. Enter Gabriel, he is driving along and sees a girl in the road. He stops and helps up the girl in the road.

Gabriel is a mercenary, he's hardly ever home but he's seen Michelle Godrey before. When he finds her in the middle of the road trying to get hit by a car he decides to keep an eye out for her. Then her step mother dies and shes still underage, so he becomes her guardian. He has her come live with him but only after he calls his sister Sara to come a live there too so there is no talk. What Michelle doesn't know is that he's found her attractive the whole time. He wants her to live though, he doesn't want to start something with her and then later in life her resent him.

I really love anything that Diana Palmer writes. She does have a formula to the way she writes. It's comforting though. Michelle is sweet and Gabriel is hard and tough, together they are lovely.  Every book we get to see so many characters from her other books. It really is like going home, since I've been reading her books for the past ten or more years. Leave love in the form of a review!
