WOW, talk about on the edge and rapidly reading! I fell in love with the tiny Anna Delaney, a computer geek and transplant from Boston sent to Austin, Texas! She never learned to drive as there was a bus to take her everywhere she wanted. It was over eighty degrees and she had wool pink sweater on as she left her apartment and seated herself to sight see. Too bad it was so hot here in JANUARY! I loved tall, dark, and handsome billion, King Sanders who was a gentleman and saved Anna from a face plant in the Rotunda. Someone is after her program that would save lives and will not stop until he or she gets it. This is my first time reading this author and I can't wait to read the series! ( )

Texas Lightning by Gerry Bartlett
A Lone Star Suspense #1

Action-packed romantic suspense that caught my interest from the beginning and held it to the end.

Anna Delaney has taken a break to get outside away from her computer job for a bit only to find that January in Texas is MUCH warmer than it is in Boston. With heat stroke and fainting likely she is saved from face-planting by none other than King Sanders. Soon after they meet it becomes apparent that there is someone out to get their hands on the computer program Anna has been working on for years. With her safety in mind and her boss’s agreement she is taken to King’s home. As the book unfolds at least one of her brothers is called in, her friend is kidnapped, her life and others as well as the software she is working on are all imperiled. Who is behind the dastardly deeds is eventually found out and by the end I was satisfied but then eager to find out what will happen with more than one of the supporting characters.

This is the first book I have read by this author but do look forward to reading the next in this series as soon as it is written.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing-Lyrical Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
