On Tour with Prism Book Tours.
Refuge for the Outlaw
When Tex Beckett arrives at Ravena Reid's farm, he's eight years too late for the elopement they'd once planned—and it's far too early to win her forgiveness. He's seriously wounded, though, and she can't turn him away, though she knows better than to trust him. Yes, it's wonderful having help with the farm, and with the orphans she fosters, but if she opens her heart, she'll get hurt again when he leaves. And Tex always leaves.
As a notorious bank robber, Tex is used to danger. Yet reuniting with the only woman he's ever loved is the riskiest thing he's ever done. All he wants is to stay with Ravena and the children. But can he build a new start before his past catches up with him?
Tex Beckett is a bank robber known as the Texas Titan. When he gets wounded, he heads to his old farm to recover. He hasn't been there in eight years and is surprised to learn that his twin brother sold it. Not knowing where else to turn, he heads to Ravena Reid's farm. Eight years ago, they were going to elope, but he took off instead and hasn't seen her since. She's understandably mixed about seeing him again. They start to rebuild their relationship, but his true identity is a huge obstacle to overcome.
I loved The Outlaw's Secret where we got to know Tate Beckett so I was excited to get Tex's story! I knew some of the back story from Tate's perspective and felt like I got the full picture in this book. Ravena is easy to love. She's a single woman who takes in orphans and works hard to keep a roof over their heads. She's kind to Tex, even though he left her eight years earlier and never tried to contact her the entire time. Even though Tex is a bank robber, he's likable as well. He had his reasons for turning to a life of crime but starts to realize what he lost, which allows him to make meaningful changes in his life.
Their situation seemed impossible so it was hard to determine how this story would end. I devoured it quickly and love the way it all came together! I love Stacy Henrie's writing style and she is quickly becoming a favorite author! If you enjoy clean historical romance, you will want to read both of these books!
My Rating=5 Stars

Lawman in Disguise
Getting taken hostage by a gang of train robbers wasn't in dime novelist Essie Vanderfair's plans, but interviewing these men could make her career soar. Especially since the gang includes legendary outlaw Tex Beckett, better known as the Texas Titan. Tex is famed for his protection of women and children, so she'll be fine…right?
Keeping the gang in line was hard enough before a stubborn, beautiful writer interfered. Now Tex is scrambling to keep Essie safe, to gather evidence against the gang and most of all to hide his dangerous secrets. First, that he's a detective working undercover. And second, that he's not the Texas Titan at all, but Tex's twin brother, Tate Beckett.
