A Deal Made in Texas by Michelle Major
Christine Briscoe and Gavin Fortunado are the main characters.
Christine and Gavin start pretending to date when she rescues him from his sister asking about his girlfriend. They start spending time together and actually fall in love but Gavin fights it because he is afraid it makes him weak. I liked the way they worked through the getting to know each other and spending time with each other to have a good relationship. I really liked the way this book was written.
OhEmGee y’all! My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. This story is SO fun, so sweet, and an absolute must read. It’s been a long time since I’ve happy cried at an ending… this one totally did it for me!
Michelle Major has such a magical way of writing that brings the story to life. Her characters are real people that you become so attached too.
If you are not reading Michelle Major… you are missing out! MUST READ!
Michelle Major is one of my favorite storytellers; her novels are engaging and characters believable. A Deal Made in Texas, the latest in the Fortunes of Texas, the Lost Fortunes is no exception. Gavin and Christine are perfect together, even if they aren’t on paper. Their story is sweet and funny and the perfect escapist read.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
Delightfully sweet and sincere! With the next book in The Fortunes of Texas: The Lost Fortunes series, Michelle Major brings us a fake engagement turned happily ever after story. It’s fast paced with really down-to-earth characters who enjoy each other’s company more than they ever expected. Lots of flirting, laughs and just plain FUN! Really enjoyed it!
Attorney Gavin Fortunado is so tired of his family trying to match him up with the woman of his dreams. Can’t anyone be allowed to stay single and loving it anymore? He’s in town for his sister’s wedding and can’t take the pressure anymore, so he’s making up a pretend girlfriend to get them off his back … only the ruse becomes all too real when he starts spending time with the lovely Christine!
Christine Briscoe has had a secret crush on Gavin pretty much since the day she met him almost a decade ago. She’s a boring, plain Jane and knows he would never look twice at someone like her, but when he whisks her off to dance with him at his sister’s wedding, it’s like a dream come true. Pretending to be his girlfriend will allow her to spend more time with him for sure, but when the feelings become all too real, things are about to get complicated!
