5 ROMANCE STARS. Most excellent.
...
Trey Waterston is a former football player who is suffering from brain damage. He is so ashamed of his "disability" that he isolates himself from his family and friends. He moves to a completely different state and starts his own business in order to have his own life where no one can pity him or remember how he was "before."
He's spent 10 years that way.
Now he is forced back to the ranch that he owns 1/3 of, the ranch in Texas that he grew up on in order to attend his brother's wedding. He's upset and afraid to go back and see family that he might not even recognize due to his brain damage. But he sucks it up and figures he'll cope the best that he can.
...
Rebecca Cargill is 24, but has never really lived. Sheltered and used as a pawn by her mother, a rich woman who courts and marries men for their money (and has been married 6 times), Rebecca has no money or independence of her own. She's not even allowed to pick out her own clothing - her mother's tried to keep her as youthful as possible for as long as possible - even though Rebecca's 24, her mother constantly tells people that she's 18.
But since her mother has gotten older and older, she doesn't hold the allure to men that she once did. And so she makes arrangements to pimp out her daughter. Yes, the time has come to sell her daughter's virginity to the highest bidder, who in this case is a rich, much older man and one of her mother's lovers, named Hector.
In a panic about being forced to go to bed with a man she doesn't like, Rebecca does the most courageous thing she's ever done and flees her mother's house, going to attend her step-sister's wedding - the same wedding Trey is attending. But in order to get to the wedding, Rebecca used her credit card to purchase a plane ticket, and when her mother calls her to tell her that she's coming after her, Rebecca flees the ranch in a panic. Worried about her safety in the frigid winter temperatures, Trey heads out after her...
...
Wow. This book was so sweet and cute and gripping. It was a very enjoyable romance. I have to slog through 50 horrible romance novels before stumbling on one that I truly enjoy, and this is one of them.
We've got: the inevitable showdown of Rebecca + Trey vs. her mom to look forward to.
A brain-damaged hero who thinks he's unworthy of being in a long-term relationship.
A sheltered woman making her first forays into the real world.
Warm up naked in a sleeping bag to save someone from hypothermia trope. (One of my favorite tropes, personally.)
This is the first romance book I've seen that deals with an actual brain-damaged hero, and I really loved it. I like when either the hero or heroine has an actual problem and not a stupid, unrealistic problem like: "No one really loves me because I'm too rich" or something.
I loved how everything was handled. Carson masterfully weaves Trey's brain damage and its resulting shame and fear into everything he does. Rebecca's unfortunate upbringing is also coloring her life in a very negative way. When she starts falling in love with Trey she goes through a crisis thinking that it is for the wrong reasons and that she's just like her mom - using a man for comfort and security, and because of being afraid of being alone - instead of experiencing real love.
Trey is a "cowboy" and a "rancher." I have NO IDEA why Harlequin is SO OBSESSED with this type of man. I must have read 10 cowboy romances in the last week. There are other types of men in America, Harlequin. Everything doesn't have to be about cowboys and take place in Texas. *rolls eyes* However, if that is my biggest complaint about a book, then it is pretty damn good.
It was also fun to read a Christmas-themed book and get in the spirit of things. :)
Tons of cute, sweet, romantic things happen in this book. Is it cliched? Of course. Is it silly? *rolls eyes* Did you miss the part where I told you it was a romance book? Listen, I don't read romance books looking for great literature. I want to be entertained, I want characters that I care about and worry for, I want to go "awwwwwwww!" a lot, I want some good kissing and sex, and I want to be charmed. This book succeeds on all counts. A+, amazing romance, 5 romance stars.
This is also a romance book that sticks in my mind because it is one of the few I've ever read with a disabled hero.

I would never have read this without the high praise from Carmen and it's times like these that I am so happy that Goodreads is a thing.
Seriously, a book that starts off with the leading lady and the hero having to snuggle in a sleeping bag, naked, FOR SURVIVAL? WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?! Carmen if there are more of these magic books out there, please let me know what they are so I can read them all, stat. Best. Trope. Ever. >:D
This was a glorious.
It had just the right amount of drama, intrigue and cheesiness and the heat level was pretty spot on. Did I roll my eyes a few times? Yes, but it was totally worth wading through the cheese to get to the happily ever after.
Trey was a total babe. He thinks he's less than a man because he has some brain damage that makes some things difficult for him. He's never let himself settle down with ladies in the past because he thinks they deserve better than him. Reading about how he thought he was such an idiot, incapable of overcoming the issues that plagued him as a result of his brain damage was heartbreaking at times. But Rebecca was the perfect match for him, never talking down to him and accepting him for exactly who he was, brain damage and all.
Oh and can I just point out that Trey was trying SO hard to be a gentleman while they were in the sleeping bag together it was adorable. He never expected sexy times, he was simply trying to save Rebecca's life. And then later on he made sure Rebecca knew she was safe in his house, but that she didn't have to sex him for her to be able to stay. So. Incredibly. Hot. Get in the man-pasture, Trey.
I thoroughly enjoyed this and it was totally worth scouring four different library services around my area to be able to locate a copy. I'm very keen to try more from this author, especially if I get to read about the supporting characters from this story.

Trey Winter is a most unusual type of romantic hero. Okay, physically he fits the standard. He’s 6’ 4” or thereabouts. Tall, broad and muscular, he worked on a range in his youth and was a football player.
However, he’s suffering from mental problems: short- and long-term memory lapses, a terrible sense of direction and an inability to perform simple math calculations. Anyone who’s read the news reports of football players or seen the movie Concussion knows what’s wrong with Trey. He’s had a few hits on the field and that was enough to damage his brain. So when he decides to brave a dangerous snowstorm to rescue a stranger, you realize just what kind of risk he’s running and the type of selfless, decent man he is.
That’s why I found myself becoming slowly and increasingly more repelled when he starts kissing the naked and unconscious Rebecca Cargill after he saves her from freezing to death. I understand the temptation. They’re both naked and stuck inside a sleeping bag in order to save her from hypothermia. But kissing her while she’s out of it crosses a clear line and violates one of the basic tenets of human close encounters—a person’s ability to give consent to sexual contact. He’s supposed to be a upstanding man and he’s kissing an unconscious strange woman!
The scene worsens. Rebecca had been fleeing her mother and had so little sense she charged off through unfamiliar territory without her purse and cell phone. She doesn’t want to get involved in a sex pandering scheme her mother has rigged up so she sleeps with Trey only a short time after she wakes up in his arms. Um, what?!
Trey thinks she might be suffering from overwhelming gratitude towards the person who rescued her (sensible thinking there) and initially resists. But he doesn’t resist for long and soon the two of them are getting busy barebacking after exchanging the barest of personal background. Only in romantic fantasies, people.
Rebecca is a 24-year-old virgin who has been kept willfully ignorant by her mother, a formerly gold-digging wife turned mistress to a stream of rich, older men who’d prefer to marry younger, prettier trophy wives. Rebecca has been presented as being eternally 18 years old and foolish about most things because her mother kept her from higher education (she mistakes Florence Nightingale Syndrome for Stockholm Syndrome until Trey corrects her).
Trey’s CT problems remain a dark secret throughout most of the novel because he doesn’t want to admit there’s anything wrong with him. Yet he thinks it makes him unfit for Rebecca because she’s got so much ahead of her once she shakes off her mother’s shackles. How did he come to that conclusion? Rebecca is barely educated, fixates on him to an unhealthy degree, has no job skills, a juvenile dress sense foisted on her by her mother and no money. She’s such a damsel in distress; Trey has to rescue her twice from the aforementioned snowstorm and her elderly sugar daddy when the latter shows up in Trey’s home looking for his runaway prize. Rebecca is a bigger failure than Trey is; at least he’s got a job.
Rebecca and Trey are both sweet, kind, genial people. But their mutual deficits make them sound like a pair of dimwits. Reading about them was about as pleasurable as a kick in the head.

January 12, 2016"Carson’s return to the Texas Rescue series is a heartbreaker. Her innocent heroine and afflicted hero are both survivors but have huge obstacles to conquer. The treatment of both the heroine’s insecurities and the hero’s malady is awesome" (RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 stars).

I loved this book. Trey is part owner of the James Hill Ranch, but hasn't been home in ten years. After a promising college football career ended with him flunking out of school, he has spent his time working out of state and trying to hide what is happening to him. After one too many blows during football games, Trey suffers from memory problems, ones that make him feel stupid and useless. When he receives an invitation to his brother's wedding, he knows it's time to go home, but he dreads it. He arrives home in the middle of a search for a missing wedding guest.
Rebecca has spent her entire life under the thumb of her social-climbing, money-grubbing mother. She has had no life of her own. When her mother announces that it's time for Rebecca to start pulling her weight by accompanying her and a gentleman friend on a trip, Rebecca has had enough. She flees to her former stepsister, Patricia, who just happens to be marrying Trey's brother. She arrives in the middle of a storm to find that Patricia isn't there. A disturbing call from her mother sends Rebecca fleeing across the ranch on a borrowed ATV, unprepared for what she encounters.
I loved that Trey immediately takes charge of the rescue. Being back on the ranch seems to give him a boost of confidence, and his own experiences give him some insight into Rebecca just from her photograph. His quick action gets him to Rebecca before it's too late, and they hole up in a cabin to wait out the storm. Trey's attempts to behave like a gentleman while he works to warm Rebecca inside the sleeping bag were so sweet. Rebecca is innocent but much stronger than she believes. She shares her life story with Trey, who is impressed by her willingness to take a chance on her future. I loved their connection. Trey's care of Rebecca gives him a purpose and a focus that keeps his issues mostly in the background. Rebecca feels a sense of safety with Trey that gives her the courage to explore her own feelings and desires.
After their rescue, which has some of its own challenges, Trey welcomes Rebecca back to the ranch. He invites her to stay as long as she wants to. Over the next few days, they explore that which is growing between them. I ached for Trey, whose self-worth took a beating every time he had a problem with his memory. He was falling so hard for Rebecca but believed that there was no way for them to be together. At the same time, Rebecca fell in love with Trey, but because of her mother's example is suspicious of the truth of her feelings. Of course, Rebecca's mother eventually catches up with her, but things don't go quite as she expected. I loved that scene, with her going up against Rebecca and Trey together. Trey still believes that he doesn't deserve Rebecca, but he's losing the battle thanks to her love and understanding. I loved his big moment at the end, with his "you are imprinted on my heart." I adored how Rebecca took over the planning of their honeymoon and what she came up with.
I loved the realism of Trey's issues with his memory. His fears and frustrations are understandable and believable. I hurt for him every time he forgot something or said something unexpected, and how it made him feel. It was great to see that there was no miracle fix at the end of the book, but the honest truth that there would always be challenges. There was also hope given for some improvement. I hope they make appearances in later books so I can see how they are doing.

Well-written, as Carson's books always are, but the core pairing made me really uncomfortable.
November 23, 2014
An intense, emotional, sexy cabin romance perfect for the holiday season, Caro Carson's A Texas Rescue Christmas is a classic love story of two broken souls finding each other in a winter storm. The romance between a virginal young woman running away from her insulated world and a protective hero returning home, tired of the world he lives in, is more intense than Carson's previous books with good reason. The author deals with today's issues of mistreated young women and brain damaged athletes in a way that left me feeling like I was seeing the world through their eyes, facing the same struggles and dealing with the same fears, making their HEA all the more satisfying. Get it to have on hand for your next winter storm or when you want to get absolutely drawn into a book. I did.

Category-length books don’t always do it for me because they sometimes lack character depth. This absolutely isn’t the case with Carson’s latest Special Edition. I must admit to liking the hero, Trey, more than the heroine. Then again, I’m a Texan and can rarely resist a Texas-born hero. His backstory and internal conflict were unique and 100% compelling for me. Carson was able to use several romance tropes—virgin heroine, (former) athlete hero, cowboy hero, being stranded, and a sort of “amnesia”—to excellent results. I will absolutely put Carson on my TBA (to buy again) list.

"A Texas Rescue Christmas (Texas Rescue series Book 2)" by Caro Carson is a quick, and classic romantic book. In it we meet Becky (Rebecca) Cargill and James Waterson III (Trey.) She is running from her present and he is trying to come to terms with his past. They come together when she comes out for her cousins marriage because her Mother is trying to set her up with an older man as his Christmas present. Trey is back home after being hit in the head too many times and has problems with his short term memory.
You're going to enjoy their journey of a classic romance.

Tender. Powerful. Deeply moving. I loved this romance between a woman trying to establish her own life and independence and a man who started out with everything and lost so much a decade before. You'll find yourself rooting for both Rebecca and Trey as this beautifully written Christmas love story unfolds.

What a fantastic Christmas story! Love the about author part ... working in the medical field I can see Caro expertise. Loved the underlying drama of brain damage/ mama damaged. Great read. Also loved meeting author at RWA conference in July. Will probably read more from her.

Pretty silly.
I liked the brain-damaged guy bit. Except his disability is so bad he can't add 4+4, and he's still a successful business owner who got there with absolutely no help from anyone? A bit unrealistic. But her mom was cartoonishly bad.

My heart broke for the Trey character. We're only just hearing about the extent of the neurological conditions that can result from contact sports like boxing, football and hockey. After three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, John Urschel abruptly retired, clearly not wanting to gamble with head injuries. He is going to pursue his PhD in mathematics from MIT full time now.
I'm definitely going to look up some more Caro Carson.

Some parts of this book were excellent. I thought the parts about the hero's brain injury were very good. But the end wrapped up very conveniently and too quickly. She wasn't her birth mother...what? Then why did her "mother" still need her to appear only 18 years old? I read it in a day.

Not enough “meat” in this romance for me. Because this is a series, I am sure there is more to come, but there were s lot of characters that could have been developed more, including the two main ones.
May 23, 2017
I liked Rebecca better than her stepsister Patricia, and I liked the portrayal of post-concussion syndrome in Trey.
July 5, 2019
The author wrote so many struggles into the stories of the two main characters that I just felt sorry for them instead of finding their connections happy one.

Well, this is just all over the place.
