Texas Tango is the 2nd book in the Texas Montgomery Mavericks series by Cynthia D'Alba.  I thought I loved the first one and I did, but this second installment blew me away.Dr. Caroline Graham was raised by her grandmother.  Her parents were too busy traveling the world helping the less fortunate.  As an adult, she has sort of carried on the nomadic lifestyle.  She travels from town to town filling in when a need for a physician is there.  Once the need is filled Caroline is on to the next place.  Taking care of her great-uncle in the small Texas town is the closest she has been to setting down roots in years - she's made friends, is invited to family gatherings and now is a landowner, thanks to her uncle's will.  Caroline had no idea how much her uncle's will could make her life easier and complicate it further at the same time.  Her beloved grandmother is dying and all she wants is to see Caroline in love and settled.  It seems like the perfect solution to offer Travis the land in exchange for a pretend marriage.Travis Montgomery lost his young wife to cancer.  It scarred him deeply, but he got through it.  Surrounded by family and friends helped him to get on with his life.  Working the land helped, too.  He's wanted to get his hands on Caroline's uncle's land for years and now that Caroline is the owner he thinks maybe he has a chance.  He can't exactly call them friends, but they are definitely thrown together often for family events.  When around Caroline he always keeps a polite distance - she makes him feel things that are better left buried.  Now, that she's presented him with his lifetime dream he is not at all sure what to do.  He doesn't typically abide by lying for any reason, but the more he gets to know Caroline he sees that she is a good person with a huge heart.  Now, he just has to find a way to hold onto his heart.I can not say enough about this book.  I know it seems that this premise has been done and re-done a million times.  And honestly, I was a bit concerned myself.  Cynthia does it right, I promise you.  The bond that Travis and Caroline form the more they get to know each other is so fun to witness.  I love how Travis accepts Caroline's brother and welcomes him - treating him like he's always been a part of the family.  The Montgomery's are a joy!  I'm sure you will love them as much as I do!You can find this review and others at [...]
