TEXAS FURY

TEXAS FURY continues the Coleman saga, with Amelia Assante, last surviving heir. After years alone, she meets and weds Cary, and together they build a billion-dollar dream, despite their age difference. But Amelia's heart attack and resultant health issues erode their love life. Fearing a second heart attack, she hatches a bold, but secretive plot. Their love story is filled with sensual, romantic dialogue and sexual tension, as well as misunderstanding. Laural Merlington characterizes Amelia with an aging, but melodious voice and a subtle elegant undertone. She sharply contrasts Cary with a robust, take-charge voice. Pacing, plot, and characterization blend to make this a well-told story. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
