Tall, Dark, and Texan (A Whispering Mountain Novel Book 3)

I really enjoyed this book and this series. I didn’t like the end though, it was very abrupt. Could’ve definitely used a epilogue. It’s a good thing I already have the next in the series, Sage’s book. Love this series and this author. Love how she writes western historical romance. Love that it has actual sex scenes that are good but not overly done with pages and pages. I hate that the series comes to an end. Would love to see how things come when I finish with any male McMurrys. I feel bad I have only 4 books left!!! After Sage’s book, comes Em’s and Rose’s books then Bethies. So that’s nice. I have already read Bethie’s book 2 or 3 times since May! Have read Jodi Thomas’s other historical Western Romance series also. I’m always bummed when they end though. They are so enjoyable!!!!

Another great historical western in the Whispering Mountain series. Teagan is the oldest McMurray, the responsible one who has held onto the ranch all these years. When the widow of his pen pal shows up with three daughters, Teagan takes them in. He's fascinated by Jessie and her daughters, despite Jessie not being completely honest with him.Each of these stories is just enough different to make them all interesting though they revolve around maintaining a horse ranch in Texas in the 1850s. It's still pretty wild country, and the McMurrays have a lot of responsibility, especially Teagan. He's a kind man but stubborn, so he doesn't like Jessie's white lies but I get there needs to be some conflict in their romance. Jessie has a lot of adjustments, coming from the city of Chicago, but it was fun to see how her girls adjusted to country living. Another good book in a good series.

I have all but a few of Jodi Thomas's books... I enjoy her books. But the Whispering Mountain series has left me thinking that Mrs. Thomas has run out of ideas and descriptive words. These books do not seem to have the spark that her earlie books had. She refers to Teagan being molded from stone...chiseled from granite... hard as an oak... his eyes were like steel..Blah blah. and it was the same in the two previous books about Tobin and Travis... They are all very tall.. very well built.. grumpy.. they don't talk much.. Its like reading the same book three times with a different setting here and there.. The women have no gumption.. they are weak and annoying.. No one can seem to come right out and have a conversation about how they feel, they just wonder in the story and second guess themselves and each other.. THe romance between Jessie and Teagan was sweet and tender..not real spraks flying. I enjoyed this book the most for two reasons: Jessie's little girls and how they got along with the McMurry family and the inclusion of Sage and Roak. I am not sorry I read the book and it is ok.. just not what I was hoping for.. I am reading Sage's story of her and Roak now.. they have been my favorite characters so far and I hope this book turns out better than the three before.. although.. Roak has grown into a tall.. hard.. solid rock man.. here we go again... whatever happened to the 5'8" guys that are a little thin or plump..Not every man has to be some comic book hero on steroids...

Reading Jodi Thomas' books, is like throwing rocks at a brick wall, you cannot miss. She nails it every time. Characters are developed and deep. I love reading her books! One day I hope to own them all. Thank you, Jodi, for looking me to visit with the McMurry family again.

Wanted Teagan's story from the fist book. Just knew he'd be special as the oldest brother. They all grew up to be really good men, because of Teagan, so will his girls and any other children he & Jesse have. Just love this series and will be reading more about Whispering Mountain. Always a big Jodi Thomas fan. Love this series.

Jodi Thomas is a master story teller. Once again in this on going series Whispering Mountains she has developed heart warming characters who you can feel soul deep. Her story line is unique and interesting. The books are hard to put down and draw you into the well written story within. I nave read this book many times for the shear enjoyment it brings and highly recommend it.

Early Jodi Thomas books were different than her later series but they had always been good. One reason I love her books is the fact that even though her guys are a lot on the macho side they don't need to pepper their language with curse words.

I've read the first three in this series and it has everything I want- romance(without the almost primer like clinical details), action, strong characters, morals I can relate to, good character development and plot. And I might be old fashioned but I like to be entertained. Jodi Thomas has become one of my favorites.

The oldest McMurray brother takes in a widow with 3 little girls and overturns his life

1856: Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes bleibt Witwe Jessica keine andere Wahl als mit ihren drei kleinen Mädchen aus Chicago zu fliehen. Denn niemals wird sie den Buchladen erben, den sie für ihn führte, auch wenn er es ihr immer versprochen hat. Und ihre Schwiegermutter wird keine Ruhe geben, bis sie die drei Enkelinnen für sich alleine hat - die noch einzige Verbindung zu ihrem verstorbenen Sohn.Der einzige Mensch bei dem sie vielleicht Zuflucht finden könnte ist Teagan McMurray, der beste Freund ihres Mannes in Texas. Teagan, ein einsamer Rancher nimmt Jessie und die Mädchen bei sich auf und schon bald fühlt er sich zu Jessie hingezogen. Und er wäre bereit Jessie zu heiraten - um der Mädchen Willen.Der Roman ist sehr schön zu lesen und auch der romantische Teil kommt nicht zu kurz. Die 3 kleinen Mädchen fand ich toll. Wie schnell sie Teagan um den Finger wickeln konnten, besonders die kleine Rose.
