BLUE MOON OVER TEXAS is the second book in the (Lone Star Cowboys) series. The first isBlame it on Texaswhich I also loved. If you like a good western/romance story, then you will enjoy this novel. It was a delight to read.Jake and Carol went to school together in Morris Springs, West Texas, and they were best friends, and more, they were sweethearts. Jake wanted to settle down with Carol and work as a rancher. Carol decided she wanted to attend college, and she moved away which broke Jakes heart. However, after college she moved back. But then, her brother Logan needed a female presence in order to win a custody battle for his daughter Katie, so Carol moved away to live with her niece and brother in Dallas. Again, leaving Jake up in the air.For the third time, Carol has moved home where her brother now lives with his wife Megan, daughter Katie, and their baby boy Charlie. She's tired of the city and wants to get married, settle down and have children, and she wants Jake. But Jake has built walls and is afraid to take another chance on Carol walking away from him yet again.During a hard rain storm, Jake's boot sunk in the mud and he broke his ankle in several places. After being released from hospital, Jake is bedridden and it's Carol who decides it time to tend and take care of him and his house, while Logan and other farmers pitches in to help with Jakes chores.In the meantime, someone is stealing cattle from farmers and one man in particular is stalking Carol, all because she rejected his advances at a dance one night. He's obsessed and is out to punish her.The author created some very likable characters, and some not so likable. The book is well written, has a good plot, and packed with suspense, romance and love. An excellent read. I look forward to the next installment in this series.
