Killian O’Toole: Aforementioned circuit judge.

Incredibly sheltered and spoiled, but seen kissing circuit judges on the terrace, which shows she has some good judgment.

Victoria Chamberlain: Aforementioned bride whose father and fiancé are involved something shady.

Currently in Fort Worth chasing after criminals. Loves her platonically and mutually, and will Never Settle Down.

Duncan McMurray: Ranger who was adopted into the McMurray family as a wild boy, and grew up with Rose.

Travelling to Fort Worth to be bridesmaid to school friend.

Apparently likes order in her life and has refused countless suitors for random reasons I don’t understand. Rose McMurray: Adopted into the McMurray family (see previous Whispering Mountain books).So what’s the book about? In cases like this, nothing less than a bulleted list will do: So I feel no compunction in judging the book exactly as I read it. Granted, this is the sixth book in a series (which I didn’t know going in), but judging by synopses of the previous books this book has relatively few character and plot ties to the previous ones. Me, I didn’t expect to read about no less than four different couples and five or six points of view, none of which does any of the couples real justice. Some people can adjust to that, in life as in reading, and those readers will enjoy Wild Texas Rose more than I did. Worst of all is they’re nice people – but what started as a quiet, intimate evening quickly devolved into a rotating door of unexpected company. And at 10pm, a friend of a friend of the friend knocks on the door. Then at 8pm, a friend of the friend pops up. Like if you’d invited a friend and their partner to a nice quiet dinner, then found that your friend had brought their friend and partner. I’m usually pretty forgiving about who I invite to a party, but sometimes there are limits.
