The Tycoon (Sons of Texas Book 1) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
When Drake Lockhart, wealthy ranching scion and Texas tycoon, meets a stunning redhead at a fancy ball, the last thing he expects is a tryst he can't forget, followed by her disappearance in the middle of the night. Every minute spent with the vulnerable beauty has left him hungering for more if he can ever learn who she is.

Shannon Piper was out of place at the ball. An intimate encounter with a man so far removed from her social hemisphere wasn't on her agenda, especially when he has a reputation for ruthlessness, is one of Texas Monthly's most eligible bachelors and has a history with women. Is a relationship based on just sex the way to protect her heart? Or is an unplanned one-night-stand the beginning of the most enduring love a girl with a sketchy past of her own could ever know?

I fell in love with Anna Jeffrey's books a while ago and she has never disappointed me. This is a great story about self-relaization and learning what really counts in life. Shannon is both strong and vulnerable and Drake is learning that having it all doesn't necessarily mean, well, having it all. As these two people do the relationship dance--one step forward, two steps back--I found myself cheering for them to be able to reach for what really mattered. It was obvious to the reader they loved each other long before they were willing to accept it themselves. Drake has been a player, big time, but after he meets Shannon he realizes how empty all those other relationships were. Is he still surrounded by beautiful women who throw themselves at him? Indeed, but he handles everything with courtesy and respect, even when he's pushing them out of his life. For good. Shannon is afraid to trust not only what she feels but what Drake says he feels and I loved watching him work hard to convince her that what they have is real. I read the book in two sittings, only because last night I couldn't stay up any longer. So this morning there I was with my tea and The Tycoon. I cannot wait for book 2 in this series. Anna, you rock.

I have read all Anna Jeffrey's books, however this book was not as good as "Love of A Cowboy" or "Love of A Stranger. Having said that, I believe this will be the start of a great series--at least I hope so. Ms. Jeffrey writes a good love story that held my interest. Definitely would recommend others to read this.

This book was very good. Read it in a few days. If you don't like detailed sex scenes, you will not like this book. I do plan to read book 2 of this series.

Anna Jeffrey delivers every time. I waste so much money buying books that have great reviews but end up being completely awful! It’s hard to find new authors that write believable and entertaining stories. I know that I can depend on Anna Jeffrey book to provide both.

I have pretty much read everything Anna Jeffrey has written. The Callister Books Trilogy, West Texas Trilogy, Dixie Cash and Sadie Callahan books. I have loved them all but this book really has the WOW factor. Although I'm not fond of abrupt endings, this one works knowing there are more books to come. Hopefully they won't be long in coming. I highly recommend this book, it has everything you're looking for in a romance novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Tycoon
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2013
This novel starts out at a bit of a slow pace but then picks up quite nicely. By the end you're quite wrapped up in the relationship between the two main characters. She employs a very intricate, descriptive writing style that allows you to visualise everything that is going on and everywhere that you travel with the characters. Jeffrey also makes sure to fill in any background information without breaking the smooth, mellow flow of the story. I also appreciate the fact that Jeffrey writes about cutting like someone who rides a cutter regularly and knows the scene. She also portrays ranching in a realistic manner rarely seen in fiction. Overall, this is a very down to earth type story, which I quite enjoyed.

The two main characters in this novel are quite well developed. You get to know them as individuals and as a struggling couple. Some of the supporting cast is also quite well developed. They play key roles in the story (and I'm assuming in the sequel) and it shows in the way that they are portrayed. Others are less developed, but still fill their role in the story very well. As a whole, I quite enjoyed the cast that was brought forth in this novel.

As a rule, I hate cliff-hangers. A lack of ending in a novel is a pet peeve of mine. That said, Jeffrey walks a fine line between a cliff-hanger and leaving an opening for a sequel in a series. The main affairs of this novel are wrapped up within the novel itself, but there is definitely a lot left undone and waiting for the reader to explore more. It's the perfect middle ground. I know I, for one, am dying for the sequel.

Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
