About this eBook

Carolyn Brown brings her unique voice to this tale of twin sisters finding love in a small Texas town

Cathy Andrew's biological clock has passed the ticking stage and is dangerously close to "blown plumb up". While her twin sister Marty thinks settling down with one man is just a waste of good cowboys, Cathy wants it all: the perfect husband, the baby, and a little house right there in Cadillac. But even as the town is laying bets on whose wedding will be next, Cathy doesn't see happily-ever-after happening anytime soon.

Fortunately, Cathy and Marty have best friends who aren't afraid to stir up a ruckus-and if it means Cathy's got to bust out and set the town on its ear they'll back her up-no matter how hot things get.

(Originally published as The Blue-Ribbon Jalapeno Society Jubilee.)

Brown’s light-hearted writing style paints a vivid picture of this corner of Texas, inviting readers into an unforgettable story. She takes everyday life and shows you people how they really are. She brings the setting to life with picturesque yet extremely vivid descriptions that allowed me to walk through these ranches alongside the characters. All the while, Brown tells a complex yet easily enjoyable tale. Brown’s characters are fulfilling and a joy to get to know. I appreciated how the main characters stood out and truly became individuals that you come to know inside and out. At the same time, you get to know them as the story progresses, in a slow reveal. The dialogue in this novel was fantastic. The local drawl and speech patterns really shine through. It was a fun read with that hint of emotion that makes the romance shine all the more brightly. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

The good, the bad and the funny. What Happens In Texas let's it all hang out. Ms. Brown does things differently by exploring the love lives of multiple couples. Twin sisters to be exact. Marty is more care free and self-absorbed she thrives on being the center of attention, while Cathy has more reserved outlook on life. Cathy knows what she wants but is afraid to reach for it and make her fantasies a reality. Nothing a little good-natured matchmaking and the right cowboy can't cure. With her small towns, spunky characters and heartwarming stories Carolyn Brown creates an alluring blend of comedy, drama that has an organic appeal. The sweetness and sentimentality of her novels is what keeps me coming back.
