Welcome to Fortuna, Texas where the men read romance novels. This sizzling romantic comedy is set in the small town of Fortuna and can be read as a standalone or as the fourth in the Fortuna, Texas series. She aspired to renew the town; he desired to revive her love life… some Podunk town with the mighty Fire Ant as its mascot. But from first glance, Fortuna captivates Michaela.
With most of the residents, primarily men, keeping their noses glued to the pages of romance novels, they don’t notice Fortuna needs a makeover. Michaela takes on the challenge of opening the eyes of City Hall to Fortuna’s potential. The longer she stays in the cozy town the more it feels like home, especially with the sexy, young mayor giving her VIP treatment.
After his wife died in a flash flood, the mayor of Fortuna, Texas, Jasen Delay, delved into work. Two years later, he’s still wearing the placating smile, but when a vanload of unban consultants visit the town… a beauty catches his eye.
Determined to keep their relationship professional, Jasen and Michaela must stymie their blossoming feelings and focus on revitalizing Fortuna’s downtown. A nosy newspaper reporter, a perverted prankster, and sightings of Jasen’s wife’s ghost have Michaela second guessing her choice to stay. Jasen will do anything to keep Michaela in town. Fortuna needs her but, more importantly, Jasen needs her.
With Jasen’s help, can Michaela wade through small town bureaucracy, solve the mystery of the canyon ghost, and learn to trust to her heart?

The characters are such fun to read . Michaela is so feisty and man she can kick some butt when she really wants to be . Jansen well he is a sweet guy who has been through a lot in his life . You really want to hug him and tell him that things will be ok . He reminds me of a good ole Texas boy who will hold your hand , open doors and beat a guy if he looks at his woman wrong . The rest of the book group and back and I must say I love BJ he is such a hoot.
This is the fourth book in the series and it is such a fun light read that you can curl up with and enjoy. I finished this book in an evening and giggled my way through . Just reading therapy and zippers make me giggle hard . The author has a great way of making you feel good as you read along . Don’t get me wrong there is also a mystery that goes along with the romance in this book . You will love all the characters in this book and yes you can read it as a stand alone but if you want to get to know the rest of the gang I would read the other three books first . Check them out I promise you will love them as much as I do
I love this series so much. The names being play on words is priceless, and often hilarious. Jasen and Michaela are falling hard and fast, but there’s a troubling mystery afoot in Fortuna that must be resolved first. Hoping to find out the outcome of that in future books.
Fortuna, Texas is the fun, interesting setting of this book. A place where men have a book club reading romances no less, a ghost “haunts” the park and a prankster keeps the town on it’s toes. Michaela’s job brings her to this quirky town and she soon falls in love with it and the hot mayor Jasen. Their romance is complicated by their past. Together with their friends their story leads to an unexpected conclusion. This is first book in the Fortuna, Texas series that I have read. Dang-I loved it so much I’ll have to go back to read them all! I recommend making yourself some chili and immerse yourself in this rom com.
Jasen amd Michaela must overcome their pasts to be together. Jasen has to stop feeling guilty for things that he could not control. Michaela helps him in ways none else can. Love their story.
What an awesome book. Jasen is trying to move on from his wife’s death a few years ago. Micheala is perfect for Jasen. She doesn’t want to date her boss because the last time ended in divorce. But she has no problem with madly flirting with him. But then there is the ghost that people think is his dead wife. Jasen feels guilty for his wife’s death because they had a fight that day and she left again like she always did and was caught in the flood and her car washed away. Because of his guilt, when his in-laws call for every little thing he goes running. Will Micheala be able to help Jasen get over the guilt and finally break away from his in-laws? Does the town ever figure out who the ghost is
Municipal Liaisons is about the Fortuna Mayor Jasen Delay, and Michaela Arschfick who is hired to give the town of Fortuna a bit of a facelift. Sparks fly quickly but with Michaela’s ex husband popping up and the ghost of Jasen’s wife in the mix can they get past the past to enjoy their presences. Time will tell. I love these characters and the wittiness of the characters last names or places of work. Its just a very fun series to read.
This is a great series! Our favorite characters are back along with new ones, one of which the mayor falls for and the feeling is mutual. For them to get their HEA they must solve a mystery, find the newest prank, and ward off her ex oh and finish the book club bet. A definite must read though I highly recommend reading the other books first because they’re great also!
Welcome back to Fortuna, Texas, where real men read romance books, a prankster has the run of the town,(nothing harmful but you roll on your stomach reading about them), and strong women of all sorts. Jasen is the mayor and with so much going on in Fortuna, he is still grieving the loss of his wife but yet he continues to do all that they ask. Still trying to make up the loss of a daughter is all he thinks about then. Michaela comes to town with the idea of bringing more to town but when Jasen and Michaela meet they know that they is something there. With the help of everyone (some more then others) something is going to happen. Some good, others bad and but in Fortuna anything can happen
