Austin's Story - The final in the trilogy

This is the third book in the Texas trilogy of the Leigh brothers. In the last story we are left with Austin going to prison for killing someone who he didn't kill. When he gets out he finds that 5 years is a really long time to be gone. His promised love has married another and there are a lot of changes that he doesn't understand. In addition some people don't think 5 years was long enough for him to be in prison, and try to kill him.He sets out to Austin to find who the real killer is but along the way he finds a kindred spirit and the closest friend he has ever had.I admit that I saw the ending coming long before the ending but how it was dealt with was wonderful and helped to lead to the story.

Fantastic! Could read it over and over and never tire of it.

The most wonderful book I've ever read! A roller- coaster of emotions, it will make you laugh and cry. I loved the hero and the heroine! Makes you want to know them in real life. If you liked Texas Glory and Texas Destiny you'll love this one. A great love story that will make you want to read it again and again!!
