Summary: ADDED A PLUS ON THE SECOND READING - 6 YEARS APART
Review: Clay Barnett is the boy next door. Everyone expected Autumn and Clay to be an item. Marriage was expected. Of course, Autumn, for various reasons rebelled.

Why should she marry just because everyone expected it.
She had her own ideas of what she wanted in life. A degree in ranching law, go and see other places, not be taken for granted. Yeah! right!

Clay and Autumn were so used to exchanging mildly barbed insults that they didn't see each other as lovers. At least Autumn didn't.

Clay, with his High on the Hog group and Autumn with her Hogs and Kisses group competing for the most donations for the Antonio Rodeo Swine Auction charity, ran in to some most humorous situations and aggravations.

Both appeared at the Yellow Rose Matchmakers for a donation and ended up filling out applications for dating matches. Were they in for a surprise! Such drool humor.

Autumn wasn't sure that she liked the women that Clay was matched up with. Darn it!

Clay found it amusing to have to help Autumn out of a couple of spots with her dates.
Included was a little back biting before the "Kiss". Then confusion reigned for Autumn. She turned out not to be too imotionally mature. Surprise! Surprise!

#1 of "Texas Grooms Wanted!" turned out to be a highly enjoyable read with wonderful characters.
Definitely Recommended - even for a second reading.

Summary: A funny and sweet Texas story!
Review: This is one of my favorite kinds of romances--where two friends fall in love with each other. I also just found out that this author also writes as Heather Allison.
