My Review
Texas Hustle is a book filled of fun, humor as two people finding their way to love overcoming issues of age gap and a ex who wants revenge. I wouldn't call him an ex but someone she wanted as a boyfriend, everyone wanted him and for one night she got her wish which changed her life forever. I totally enjoyed this plot of winning Darren in an auction in hopes of putting off her ex until she could work out what to do about him. Things do not go as planned in keeping Darren at arms link as the author heats of the pages filling them with passion.
Darren is clueless he has been attracted to Porchia since he first laid eyes on her. He has flirted and has done his best to pull her into his web. Nothing seems to work, he has one week to change all this as he romances her the only way he knows how. Darren is a wonderful character any women would be happy to call hers. He is strong, caring and loving. Nothing comes before family or the women he loves. You have to love his humor and his moves as he takes on the world to keep Porchia safe.
Porchia is a sweet woman who has never had a loving family. When she sees how Darren's family acts she is floored she had no idea that families acted this way. As she is pulled into their lives she must remember not to get to close for danger is around every corner. Her family is truly something as I feel you will make up your own mind as to how each reader will feel about her parents. I can't say I cared to much for them but by the end of the book I like her father a little more. I really loved Porchia and could really relate to her and her issues. It is heartbreaking to lose everything with one night and one mistake but to have that mistake come back and bite you is horrible for such a wonderful sweet lady.
The author gives you wonderful supporting characters that will keep you laughing with all they do. I can't say the ex was even close to being a favorite character as he added thrills and a few chills to the read. I just love small towns where everyone helps everyone. The fall back is they know everything that goes on. It is hard to get away with anything but as the chips fall they usually stand beside you and help you along. The author gives you a very believable story which is filled with heartbreak and hope. As always Ms. D'Alba pulls her readers in with a winning plot that keeps you turning the pages. She burns up the pages full of very hot nights of passion as these two pull on your heart strings. Running from you past is never a good thing it always comes back to haunt you as this author reminds us. There was nothing I didn't like about this read. Ms. D'Alba has another winner on her hands. I chuckled and laughed my way through this at times my heart was in my throat hoping for the best but expecting the worse. This was a very well written and thought out read as the author takes you on a compelling story of facing your past, trying to overcome it as you take your life back and grow to become the person you want to be. This is a book everyone will love, I recommend anything by this author she knows how to entertain her readers. You will not want to miss "Texas Hustle"

Book Description
They’re different as night and day…but it’s the right time for love.
Texas Montgomery Mavericks, Book 6
Porchia Summers was born into a family who gave her everything except affection. She acted out until her parents sent her to Whispering Springs before their high-society friends found out about her arrest record.
She builds a good life in Texas, but then the old boyfriend who got her in trouble tracks her down. Desperate to find a way to keep her past and present separate, she places a bid at a bachelor auction on the one man who’ll get her out of town for a few days.
Darren Montgomery is thrilled when Porchia wins him and a week of camping with his entire family in a charity bachelor auction. He’s also curious. He’s been flirting with the town’s sweet, sexy baker for years. Sometimes she flirts back, but she’s never let things go further than that. Darren’s not complaining, but he wonders just what’s going on behind Porchia’s pretty eyes.
Warning: Watch out for chigger bites, love bites, and secrets that bite.
