Overall The Texan’s Twins was a good read for me. I’m a big fan of these family saga type series and love the strong bonds between family members – whether protecting each other or giving each other the old “snap out of” it advice that is so often needed. I’m not a huge fan of kids in books, but the twins were adorable and added a nice dimension to the story, especially when it came to Jet.

I totally loved Jasmine…most of the time She was a very strong woman who was successful and smart, and even though she has loved and lost and now must raise her twins on her own, she has persevered and created a good life for her and the twins. I love that she has a very non-traditional job for a female – and that first scene between Jet and Jasmine when he thinks she is a stripper and not the engineer he’s supposed to be meeting still has me chuckling! She did tend to frustrate me at times with some of her actions though, which had me wishing she had some family of her own to tell her to snap out of it!

Jet started out just ok but began to grow on me throughout the book. It was nice to see him grow and change, and I loved how he was with the twins. He did frustrate me a bit with how long it took him to come around and realize the type of guy he really was, but once he did it was easy to fall in love with him.

Overall this was a good read that just fell a little bit flat for me, perhaps because both Jet and Jasmine got me a bit too frustrated at times which for me, took a bit too much out of the romance. I did enjoy the writing style of Ms. Britton so I will definitely look to try out some of her other books as well as look into the other books in the Texas Rodeo Barons, which are all written by different authors.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Wonderful story. Jasmine is a hardworking oil engineer, a woman in a man's field. It has taken her awhile to find a job and now that she has it she doesn't want to mess it up. She is also the single mother of twin girls, which adds another layer of stress to her life. Things are going well until she's assigned to work with Jet.

Jet isn't known for commitment to anything. He has a job at the company, but is rarely at the office. He's more known for his rodeo activities and the number of women he has dated. But he's getting more involved with the company, as he's going to have to step up while his sister, who really runs things, is out on maternity leave. On his first day as the new Jet, he is scheduled to meet the new engineer at a prospective site. When he gets there, he sees a beautiful woman that he assumes is a stripper that his friends have sent to prank him. Open mouth, insert foot. The woman is the new engineer and she has no trouble setting him straight. I loved seeing the way that he shows he's much more knowledgeable than she expected, but that he also has some balance in his life.

From the beginning Jet is drawn to Jasmine in a way he's never been drawn to a woman before, He's always avoided women with kids, but Jasmine and her girls get under his skin and into his heart. While he is definitely attracted to her, Jet realizes that what Jasmine needs more than anything else right now is a friend. I loved seeing him be there as a shoulder for her to lean on or to cry on. It was great to watch as he overcame the confusion of his feelings to realize exactly what he felt for Jasmine and her girls. It was fun seeing him getting into being with the girls, playing with them, but also worrying so hard when Brooke got sick. I loved seeing the changes in him, from the carefree and sometimes careless guy at the beginning to the loving and responsible man at the end.

Jasmine's life has made her very independent and self reliant. She is used to doing everything on her own. She isn't quite sure what to make of Jet when she discovers that he's not the careless and clueless guy she thought he was. His help and support are hard to resist and she finds herself falling for him. But Jasmine is reluctant to believe that anything between them can last as she's had far too much experience with good things coming to an end. She pushes him away, telling herself she's doing it to protect her girls, but in reality she's afraid to believe that that kind of happiness is possible for her. I loved the ending and seeing how Jet's patience and understanding of her fears enabled her to overcome it all and reach for the happiness she wanted. ( )
