Review: Texan for the Taking (Boone Brothers of Texas Book 1) by Charlene Sands

Will bitter enemies make better bedfellows for the Boone Brothers?

She’s about to find out.

Only the worthiest of causes could woo Drea MacDonald back to Boone Springs to work with the Mason Boone. The sexy Texan had stolen her schoolgirl heart, and his family had stolen her legacy. But soon resisting the temptation to invite Mason into her bed becomes impossible. How long before he climbs back into her soul, too? 

My Review: 

Drea MacDonald once loved Mason Boone, but she also hated him.  It was complicated.  In this story, Drea and Mason are working together on a fundraiser for the hospital in Boone Springs, Texas.  Drea just wants to get the job done by spending as little time with Mason as possible and then head back to New York City to the big job promotion.  

Mason had a thing for Drea when she was younger, but he knew not to act on it as she was too young for him.  So, he sent her away the night she came to him seeking comfort.  Now, Mason has a chance to make it up to Drea and explain what happened.  Will Drea listen to what he has to say and forgive him?  Working closely together, Drea and Mason give in to the temptation they both felt so long ago.  But, will their newly found romance be able to stand up to the secrets that are about to be revealed?

Drea and Mason are the kind of characters I like to read about.  There is just the right amount of angst between them to make their passion incredibly strong once they gave in to it.  I liked the build up to the story and how there were other little stories included within the main one.  Though we will have to wait to find out more about them, this romance was perfect on its own. It was a fun book and I can’t wait to read the next installment to the series.  If you like enemies to lovers romance, dramatic pasts, secrets, and rich ranchers, this is the book for you.
