Много лет назад Мэдди Грей сбежала из Техаса, из городка Йелла, будучи беременной и в одиночестве. Она оставила позади своего любовника, скотовода и наследника нефтяной компании Джона Коулмана. Теперь она снова на границе его богемного мира, полная решимости сохранить все свои секреты.
Но Джон не остановится ни перед чем, чтобы докопаться до правды – даже если для этого ему придется жениться на ней.
Пронзаемая любовью история о противоборстве характеров. — The New York Times When Maddie ran from the small Texas town where she was raising her unborn child without help or warning, she thought she would never see her family or former lover—oil heir and rancher, John Coleman—again. But here he is, climbing the walls with offers of a new, better life for her, a life she can share with those who gave her shelter long ago—Herman and Mary Rawlins. Joint custody of their son in exchange for his confidentiality and guidance of Mad, he proposes. He does everything possible to prove to her that her place is back in his life…even if he has to make his offer unconditionally. Though Maddie has no intention of changing her mind, her beating heart and budding attraction toward this stubborn man make for an unavoidable conundrum. Life on the periphery of an established social environment, complete with wealthy relatives, high society jets and Benihana dinners, may be enticing, but can Mad truly give herself—and her heart—another chance? With the past erasing each other, every uncertain moment heightens Adele Petersen Major's introspective novel His for the Taking. A lesson imbued with moral complexity: Honesty and heartache may sometimes be the most crucial lessons. Love complications include, “as ever, the reappearance of erstwhile pain”; palpable perseverance; upsetting paralysis regarding romance options based on choices made twenty years prior; desire, patience and munificence; and retrieving one’s bearings in the face of inevitable decision-making. Lit pulp fiction and Arkansas relatives abound. —Rachael Lombardi Major, "I Can Survive Anything" (with J.J. McClure),-audiobook (Recorded in Baltimore, Md.; Music by George Saifarian) -Lexington Press Audiobooks (English Language Audiobooks) April 2017…(Author affiliation lists at LexPress eBooks). —If you're unfamiliar with these authors or this title, here's a summary rewritten from The Lex Press Review of His for the Tenting: Years ago when Maddie Grey left the small town of Yella, pregnant and all alone, leaving behind her love, rancher/ oil heiress, John Coleman, she disappeared. Now, on the set boundaries of John's state of the art world, resolute to maintain all her secrets, John refuses to allow anything to stand in the path—especially not truth—even solely because it means making her wife.
