On her way to town early one morning, Marley Rose McClain finds a man unconscious and bleeding at the side of the road. She loads him in the wagon and takes him to her family ranch.
Drifter Roan Penny fights for his life, his one goal eating at him—to find the ones who murdered his best friend. As he recovers, he finds himself falling in love with Marley. She’s everything he wants and dreams of making her his wife even as he knows it’s impossible.
A terrifying stranger appears and a long-kept secret shakes Marley to the core. Roan helps her through very frightening times and they pledge their love for each other.
As Roan hunts down the hooded men who killed his friend and grows closer to learning the truth of the stranger’s identity, he finds both himself and Marley being stalked.
Shocking events unfold, secrets come to light, and a love refuses to be denied in this cat and mouse game where danger lurks around every corner. Will Roan and Marley survive to see the future they plan?

Y’all, when this beauty popped up in our blogger group for
sign-up, I nearly tripped over my own cowgirl boots to review TO CATCH A TEXAS
STAR by Linda Broday. Just between y’all and me, I may have (accidentally-on-purpose) knocked over one or two of my blogger friends in order to get to the front of the
line. I ain’t ashamed, I tell ya!
Now, this ain’t my first rodeo in reading and reviewing Ms.
Broday’s work. Y’all can read my review of her book, TO MARRY A TEXAS OUTLAW by
clicking right
here. So, when I saw that Lone Star Literary Life was bringing her back
on tour, I was over the moon like a shootin’ star, yo!
TO CATCH A TEXAS STAR by Linda Broday arrived in my mailbox
on a scorching hot Texas summer day (my personal favorite type of day, I might
add). I knew I wouldn’t be dismayed, because 1.) Broday’s cover art is always
gorgeous, and 2.) She always sends an autographed review copy. Still, I held my
breath as I tore open the envelope and gingerly removed the ARC. Gorgeous, isn't it??? Oh, you must see this in person to appreciate how lovely it is.
And, oh, what is that?! A SIGNED AND PERSONALIZED POSTCARD! YASSSSSSSS!!!!!
“Surely, she didn’t send a signed postcard in lieu and an
unsigned ARC,” I thought to myself. Carefully, I turned back the lovely cover (‘cause,
by now, y’all know I like my books to remain looking brand-spanking-new), and
there it was! Her autograph! YEEHAW!!!!!
Even my doggie, Sascha Marie (who has her own Facebook page - click on her name to check it out), has enjoyed caressing this book with her eyes!
Alright, alright, keep your hats on! I’ll get on with the
review. Sheesh!
It’s the Fall of 1899 when the reader steps into this story
and lands smack-dab in the middle of Central Texas (see what I did there?). The
first person the reader meets is a smolderingly handsome cowboy named Roan
Penny. Now, Roan’s had a rugged life, but he hasn’t let it turn him into a
bitter man with a hard heart. And maybe that’s because of his friend, a good ol’
fella named Mose who took him in and treated him like family…something Roan
never really had before, well, except for the old lady his sorry father had
given him to the day his mother died.
But, I digress…
But, I digress…
It’s nighttime, and the moon is waning. That can only mean
one thing to Roan: something bad was about to happen. And boy does it ever.
I won’t give any spoilers here, ‘cause y’all know I never
do. (Why do y’all keep asking me to?) But the harbinger moon brings some bad
deeds and ends up leaving Roan for dead among the bushes far from Mose’s farm.
Enter the lovely Marley Rose. She’s had everything that Roan’s
never had: a happy home, family, and dreams. She rescues the man who looks more
dead than alive and takes him back to Aces ‘n’ Eights, her father’s ranch.
And that’s where it all begins!
Will Marley Rose win over the heart of the handsome stranger
she’d rescued? Or will Roan Penny decide he’s too much trouble for the lovely
brunette who nurses him back to health in heart, body, and soul? What happened to his old friend Mose the night
the moon hung low in the sky? I ain’t gonna tell y’all.
But, I will tell y’all this – y’all’ve gotta read this book.
I wouldn’t ever lie to y’all.
Ms. Broday’s writing is that comfortable, engaging style that lulls the reader into the story by degrees until, suddenly, the real world disappears and the words on the page become reality. Her worldbuilding and character development is so rich, it’s delicious. So, brew up a strong cup of joe (‘cause this book will keep you up ‘till the wee hours of the morn), and snuggle in for a cozy read.
