Texas Splendor (Texas Trilogy, #3)

This was such a disappointment right after reading Dallas and Dee’s book.
This is why I hate the dead wife/MMCs that experienced love before because I can’t help but feel the FMCs in these books are 2nd choice at best. Though he did say that what he felt for her was much more intense than what he felt for his 1st love but come onnn! He moaned the OW’s name when they first had sex liiiiike 🤢💀🤢
The FMC became pregnant because of that horrible disgusting disastrous first time btw, so yep she had no choice but to be around him. This is why unwanted/surprise pregnancy being used as a catalyst to force the couple to be around each other rarely works for me.

The moaning OWs name during the deed? Totally unpardonable.
Why did the author think that was a good idea? 🤦🏽♀️

Jen ♥ wrote: "Why did the author think that was a good idea? 🤦🏽♀️"really questioning some decisions she made because you can create drama and angst without these kind of disgusting things like the one in Dallas book.
There is just no coming back from hearing him moan ow name🤮
Carrie wrote: "There is just no coming back from hearing him moan ow name🤮"agree! all throughout the book i kept thinking of that scene
I have a sudden flashback of Ugly Love from Colleen Hoover...thanks for the heads up, Capt.! ❤️

ewwwww bruh no way even if they don’t know each other to do that just ewww. was the OW’s presence felt all throughout the book?

Just the mention of her irks me but full on interacting with her ughh it was torture.
Barf! Why? Why would the author think this is a good idea? No coming back from that.

No coming back from that."Agree cuz I certainly did not come back from that and even his act of service or him saying what he felt for the fmc is more, my mind just kept circling back towards their first time ew ew!
So was the heroine second best by the end of the book? I always feel frustrated and angry if the author fails to convince me that the heroine is the one and only at the end.One book that stayed in mind because the heroine was definitely second best, is The Last Grand Passion by Emma Darcy.

Fortunately Anna, it did not felt like the fmc was 2nd best. It was quite clear that the passion for his first love was that of a young man compared to his love for the fmc.
I think I remember the last grand passion, was that where the wife is in a coma but the hero still chose his wife over his baby with the heroine? 😭I don't want to remember that anymore, the book fails to convince me that theirs is a forever love!
Aleksandra wrote: "Oh no no no, what the hell"i pretend this book do not exist and it ends with Dallas and Dee's book!
