Product description

From Publishers Weekly

Woods, in her latest contemporary romance, redeems a silly plot contrivance with energetic pacing, snappy dialogue and an appealing romantic hero. Megan O'Rourke is a Martha Stewart clone with a whirlwind, workaholic Manhattan life. When her ornery grandfather, Tex, dies, she's shocked to find that she has inherited not only his ranch but also his illegitimate eight-year-old daughter, whom she is now required to raise in Wyoming. As if it isn't difficult enough moving a burgeoning communications empire to a town called Whispering Wind, Megan discovers Tex's closest advisor was charismatic Jake Landers, the man who broke her heart years before. Megan's rigidity and snobbishness grate at times; it's difficult to like a heroine capable of having a snit over packaged coffee the morning after her beloved granddad's funeral, but Woods warmly renders Megan's bumpy transition into both romantic and maternal love, eventually winning over the reader. Jake, on the other hand is lovable right from the start, a classic good-hearted bad-boy type with a nice mixture of charm and common sense. (Oct.)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

With her roots firmly planted in the South, Sherryl Woods has written many of her more than 100 books in that distinctive setting, whether her home state of Virginia, her adopted state, Florida, or her much-adored South Carolina. She's also especially partial to small towns wherever they may be. In Amazing Gracie, as in her later Trinity Harbor series, Woods creates a fictional version of the town where she spends summers on the shores of the Potomac River. "This town just lends itself to fascinating characters and a charming locale," she says.

A member of Novelists Inc., Sisters in Crime and Romance Writers of America, Sherryl divides her time between her childhood summer home overlooking the Potomac River in Colonial Beach, Virginia, and her oceanfront home with its lighthouse view, in Key Biscayne, Florida. "Wherever I am, if there's no water in sight, I get a little antsy," she says.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need number 2 to clear things up
Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2022
This book sure took a few different shocking turns. The ending was HORRIBLE. A cliff hanger like that is ridiculous! Now I have to find book 2 but I am sure it will not satisfy the very long plots and the cut-off in a split second ending. Dang!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok I Give Up, How does it end?
Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2000
This book started off ok. I wanted to keep reading, but it sort of ended. What happened? This would have been a wonderful book if it ended... Things I didn't like : Jake's dark side was taken away too early, Megans attitude suddenly on the last page changed to she can do it all, and i'm still waiting to find out what happened to Micah, and Todd sort of was left hanging and what is the story with Flo, and that guy peters love interest in NY?
This story had a great storyline, it was a bit sad at parts but other than not ending any of the storylines it wasn't too bad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Texas-Sized Disappointment
Reviewed in Canada on June 27, 2000
The plot is one more of the four standard romance story lines. Girl comes back -- temporarily, she thinks -- to the small town she fled years before. Circumstances conspire to keep her at home and too close to the dangerous male whose touch renders her helpless. In After Tex, the formula becomes a tired one. The hero is stripped of his danger too early on. There are too many subplots and too many characters. To make matters worse, the author's descriptions of the interaction between the main characters were insipid. If you like your romances hot, skip this one.

Life has a way of being interrupted by unexpected roadblocks. Megan is suddenly hit with a roadblock when a telephone call from her grandfather's housekeeper informs her he has unexpectedly passed away. Being met by someone she knew had betrayed her grandfather is another surprise, but the ultimate surprise is to meet her grandfather's 8 year old daughter who she is suddenly responsible for. How does one run a successful business in New York and a ranch in Wyoming and keep all the balls up in the air?
