THERE'S A FOX IN THE HENHOUSE
Inheriting the most notorious house of ill repute in Texas can spell trouble for a girl's reputation . . . especially when she's Elizabeth Murphy, Bramble's prim and proper librarian. Yet when she discovers a buck-naked cowboy handcuffed to a four-poster bed, she forgets all about the town gossips. Elizabeth has sworn off men, but the stranger's kisses melt her resolve faster than ice cream on a hot summer day.
Waking up in Miss Hattie's Henhouse isn't how Brant Cates reckoned on getting to the bottom of his great-granddaddy's murder. The plan was to solve the centuries-old crime, then get the heck out of Dodge. But after meeting Elizabeth and discovering that the buttoned-up beauty is a sexy siren in disguise, he just can't pull himself away.
Now Brant needs Elizabeth to finally put his past to rest, but is she willing to risk her future on Bramble's newest bad boy?

Trouble in Texas by Katie Lane is the fourth book in
her Deep in the Heart of Texas Series. I have to admit that I haven’t read any
of the previous books in the series, but that doesn’t matter, you can read this
book on its own.
Brant Cates is on his way to attend his brother’s
wedding, but he decides to take a side stop at the famous Henhouse, believing
it’s abandoned. But some of the old hens are still living in the Henhouse and
they don’t like strangers on their land.
The story goes that Brant’s great-grandfather was killed there during
one of his visits. He believes that the murder of his great-grandfather
sparkled the “Cates Curse “. Never in a million years could he imagine getting
shot, then drugged and kept captive by the three old hens in order to stop him
from reporting them to the police.
Elizabeth Murphy works in the local library as the
head librarian and is also the owner of the “Miss Hattie’s Henhouse”. Lizzie
was raised by only by her mother and was taught that men were all “scumbags”,
but that never stopped Lizzie from reading her beloved romance novels. She
wants to sell the Henhouse, but the three little old hens who still love there
won’t let her. Their plan is to re-opening the Henhouse in the old glory and
they might have a plan to just to that.
I loved Brant and Lizzie together; from their first meeting
you can sense the huge attraction between them. Yes, they are definitely the opposite
of each other, but that won’t stop chemistry between them. And of course with a
little help of the three old hens, they never stand a chance against fate and
love.
