Publisher's Summary:
She was a young woman of courage, desert-born, alone, afoot and lost in the stifling heat of the South Texas desert, her throat aching with drought. Alaire Austin staggered on to reach a water-hole she knew existed. Where it existed was a calculated guess, and along with it, she would find Texas Ranger David Law. He was a strong man, masterful and ruthless. She had no idea that this chance meeting at the only water-hole in fifty square miles of parched desert would be the beginning of her lifes greatest adventures.

A great tale of south Texas
A wonderful told story of the old west with great characters and detailed scenes of the area where you could just see the cactus and the heat with danger all around with a pretty good romance thrown in, you won't be disappointed.
An Enjoyable Old-Fashioned Novel
Rex Beach was a best-selling novelist during the first several decades of the last century. Best known for his first work, The,Spoilers, a novel about the Gold Rush to Nome in 1900, Beach's many subsequent novels have been, in the words of several literary specialists, "merifully forgotten." Heart of the Sunset, published in 1915 and set in northern Mexico and Texas's Rio Grande Valley is one of those later books. Formulaic and loaded, it is filled with a slew of "bad guys," a brawny and heroic Texas Ranger, a ravishingly beautiful love interest and who knows how many other cliched characters. Will Dave get the girl or will the evil Mexican General Longorio win the day? Will justice triumph and love conquer all? Three guesses.
No-one reads Rex Beach today looking for great literature. He was a product of his times, giving an anxious public exciting contemporary stories to suit their reading tastes. Today's more sophisticated readers, on the other hand, will find little to draw them to this work but personally I enjoyed it a lot. Heart of the Sunset is enjoyable kitsch and a fun read to wile away a few hours.
