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?
I had the chance to read the first book in this series, The Outlaw's Secret, and I really loved it so of course I jumped at the chance to read this book! These two books are about twins- the first book involves a case of mistaken identity and the second, a story of redemption.
Tex has made some mistakes. Some pretty big mistakes, actually. Now he has returned home in need of healing not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too. He has something to prove to himself and Ravena.
Ravena has the patience of a saint. Her kindness extends to all those around her- even those who have hurt her. Lucky for Tex, that includes him. Ravena is also out to prove something and Tex is right there to help her. Tex and Ravena work well together and realize that they are better together, helping each other, than apart. Unfortunately, the past has a way of catching up to you eventually and Tex finds himself in a pickle.
Tex and Ravena were great characters. The book flowed gently and easily, weaving in daily life events with the rekindling of friendship and love. The children in this book were a fantastic addition and really gave the story a feeling of family and love.

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.
