Texas Rich

This is the first book in the Texas series. It begins with a very young Billie Ames, and how her life is forever changed when she falls in love with dashing sexy Moss Coleman. When her life is uprooted and she moves to Texas with her money hungry mother, she learns the hard way how things are done in the Coleman family. This book concentrates on how the many trials in Billie's life shape her as a person. I agree that this is a very intense emotional romance, and although I was left crying and sad, it was superbly written.

Emotional

I cannot express enough how much I LOVE this book. The story catches you right from the beginning and doesn't let you go. This is one of those books that the characters really come to life. Their joys will be yours and their sorrows too. I truely came to love these characters. Especially Billie. This is the first book of the Texas quartet. And it is the best of the four. Ms. Michaels takes us from the 1940's to the 1980's with the Coleman family. Everywhere from Philly to Texas, Guam to Hawaii, Japan to Vietnam. She creates wonderful visuals of these places. This story is filled with love (and great love scenes) and with heartbreak. When the characters cried I did too. Powerfull book.

a must read!!!

the texas series by Fern Michaels absolutely takes you out of your world, and enter the family of the Texas Colemans.this series is the best I have ever read.I imagined every character, had them all pictured in my head.I became so engrossed in the colemans and their trial and tribulations. I savored every word. couldn't put them down because they were so wonderful, but hated to end the series.I recommend this series for someone who wants to escape your world and enter another.be warned, you'll want more!!!!absolutely the best!!!

A wonderful beginning to an incredible family saga

Fern Michaels is the type of author whose vivid imagination and ability to create real and compelling characters translates to publishing gold. In TEXAS RICH, Michaels starts the reader on a journey with the young and naive Billie Ames Coleman to a place where her heart, her courage and her beliefs will be tested -- Texas. The new bride of Coleman heir apparent Moss Coleman, we follow Billie through her acclimation to Texas and her new home at Sunbridge (the Coleman family home), her role as Moss' wife and the challenges she faces from her social-climbing mother, her gruff and demanding father-in-law and the events of the world around her. We see Billie grow stronger in heart, mind and belief as her children are born, her marriage to Moss changes and she comes into her own as a Coleman. This is an unforgettable novel that continues on in TEXAS HEAT, TEXAS FURY and TEXAS SUNRISE. A brilliant family saga from an incredible author. I highly recommend this book!
