Solid story. Credible angst and trust issues. Good building up … ending might have needed a little work cause it was like air out of balloon.
“Texas on My Mind” (nook) was very good. It was heart wrenching that Charlie’s and Turner’s (years) long road to love was filled with turmoil and tears However, the ending was sigh-worthy.
Turner and Charlie’s friends to lovers story in Texas on my Mind by Eve Gaddy, book two in Heart of Texas series, was a wonderful, sexy, emotional and enjoyable tale, set in the town of Last Stand, Texas. Charlie the baker and Turner the neurologist have been best friends since they were kids, at least until Turner realizes there might be something more there. Charlie is adamant that she doesn’t want to risk their friendship. Charlie has a secret which because of the behavior of her former husband makes her believe that no man will ever want a serious relationship with her. It will take everything Turner has to convince Charlie that risking her heart and giving them a chance is well worth the gamble. These two are wonderful and loving people who truly deserve a happy ending.
Ms. Gaddy wrote a wonderful story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Turner and Charlie a chance for happiness, love and a future together. I highly recommend Texas on my Mind to other readers.

This is the second book of the Heart of Texas series and I have read both of them. Eve Gaddy writes such strong female characters. Her books are fun to read with just enough heat!

Turner has finally realized that Charlie is the one he wants to be with. All he has to do now is convince Charlie that they can be more than friends and last. But can Charlie get over the hurt from her Ex husband and take a chance on Turner. I practically read this new Eve Gaddy romance in one sitting, and oh does she deliver! Texas on my Mind is the second book in her Heart of Texas series, set in Last Stand, Texas. If you love small towns, this book and series is one you can not miss.
Wooed Her with Romance….Turner and Charlie have been best friends since they were young. Turner realizes that he wants to be more than friends. Even though Charlie is drawn to Turner, she is afraid that a relationship with Turner would ruin that friendship. Due to the way her marriage ended, Charlie doesn’t want to get too close to any man. I received a free copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. There is plenty of sizzle and steam in this best friend to lover story, but there is also a good story and characters. I love that Turner wooed Charlie with romance and was careful not to go too fast in their physical relationship. This is the first book that I have read in this series and it definitely can be enjoyed as a standalone. I really enjoyed this read.

A very sweet romance and a nice return visit to Last Stand, Texas where we reunite with members of the McBride family.

They say that best friends make the best lovers, but Charlotte “Charlie” Stockton has been ignoring that little voice inside that wonders if she and Turner McBride, her best friend since middle school, could ever be more than friends.
She doesn’t want to risk ruining their friendship to find out.
Turner has been thinking of his best friend a lot and has no reservations about taking their relationship to the next level. How to convince Charlie that they truly belong together as more than friends? Turner’s brother gives him some advice.
“Treat her like you would any woman you’re interested in. She’s no different, except you ought to have a really good idea of what she likes.”
Turner is a man focused on his objective and doesn’t let anything get in his way. You will enjoy reading about Turner’s campaign to convince Charlie – great books, movies and, of course, ice cream! Charlie is a tough nut to crack, but Turner doesn’t give up Their road to HEA is not without potholes though, as they have to deal with trust issues stemming from Charlie’s past.
Texas on My Mind is a charming story and the first that I have read from Eve Gaddy. It is the second book in her Heart of Texas series but reads well on its own. I recommend it and look forward to reading more from this author.

I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could. This was a wonderful story. I just fell in love with Turner and Charlie (Charlotte). They were so good together. So good, that I couldn’t put this down. I was completely enchanted with their journey to a HEA. Poor Charlie, she has a secret that she feels devastated about. She doesn’t want to take her long-term friendship with Turner to something more. Her secret will change how he would feel about her and she can’t lose his friendship. Turner on the other hand uses his knowledge of her likes to completely bowl her over without her knowing it.
I did need a tissue or two in a couple of spots. I felt for both characters as they struggled. Having a dual POV format that this book is written in, really helped me to identify with both characters but especially Charlie. It really made me understand her feelings so much better. Turner as well at one point would have baffled me without reading his thoughts.
I HIGHLY recommend this story to anyone. There are a few scenes in a sexual nature that may be a turn off for some BUT they were not written in graphic detail. There were also just a few of them. There is a wonderfully tender loving story here.
I absolutely fell in love with Charlie and Turner. Charlie and Turner grew up together and are the best of friends. As they get older Turner starts to wonder if he and Charlie could be more than best friends. Charlie has to overcome some issues from her past in order to move forward with Turner. This is a wonderful friends to lovers story you won’t want to put down!
The book was an easy read. The lead male character was incredibly patient! I had difficulty relating to the female character. I wish she was stronger and had more self esteem to see the upside to her situation and the opportunities available to her.
