  Oh, how I am sorry to see this series end. This three book multi-author series has all the feels and more. Each book has its place it my heart for a different reason. In Sweet Texas Charm by Ruby Neeley, the last Cooper brother will finally receive the entirety of his promised inheritance. The Cooper patriarch was a sneaky one, but full of love, caring and hope that his sons would find their forever-after with their "ones".
  
  Middle brother Grayson was beyond hurt and angry when he discovered his father did not leave him the family company that Grayson was promised. In fact, Grayson felt betrayed not to mention a whole lot of confused. From the first book, there is an element of mystery that will find its resolution in this book. By the end of book two, I had my suspicions as to what the big reveal might be and I enjoyed watching my predictions come to light. This is where I can't tell you anymore about that; you'll just have to read to find out. Each book is a standalone however, I believe you won't enjoy the complete reading experience if you haven't read the two prior books. There is definitely a lot going on.
  
  So, I had my opinions of each brother’s persona at the beginning of each book. And it's not surprising that I wasn't a fan of any of them. But as I got to know them, I understood them in a different light. However, with Grayson, he did some things that were not upstanding and I just knew karma was going to come for him.
  
  The heroine, Becca, was one of my favorites of this year thus far. She was very relatable and I saw myself in her during several fundamental moments in the book. I could see myself in her shoes very easily as well as see things her way. Again, I'm not going to spoil anything by giving away spoilers. I enjoyed this book and was sad to see the series end. The author's attention to detail and storytelling talents show through in this book. I love a book where I don't have to try so hard to envision a scene. With this book, I was easily there.
  
  So, glad I read this series. You should know that each story flows into the next without any disconnection despite this series being written by three different authors. I recommend the Sweet Texas Secret's series to any reader who loves romance with some angst and mystery AND a huge helping of happily-ever-after!
  
  This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

  It’s always a bittersweet moment for me when a series reaches its conclusion, and Sweet Texas Charm certainly ended the Sweet Texas Secrets multi-author series on a very high note. Although you “could” read Becca and Gray’s story as a standalone it really does work best as the final story in the series for there are events, background information and a seamless feeling to three authors telling one deceased father’s matchmaking shenanigans for his sons that change their lives around so much. If you can, I would strongly suggest reading these stories in order.
  
  All of these men have been somewhat unlikeable at the start of their stories – Gray… was the most unlikable of the lot of ’em. Talk about an arrogant, chip on his shoulder, better than anyone else around CEO who has no clue what the actual people of his family’s company are experiencing at work or in life… because, well, he’s the numbers guy, not the people person and Gray is just fine with things that way. He’s about to get a very rude wakeup call (almost as rude as he can be) when the controlling stock in the company he thought was to be his goes instead to a line manager. Vivid is a mild word to describe Gray’s reaction and he immediately goes about absolutely everything wrong in order to win control of Guac Ole once again.
  
  Becca is the total opposite of Gray in attitude, the way she looks at life and the appreciation she has for not only the employees of the company but their lives outside of work as well. She has a very full plate herself but she keeps her head high, her attitude upbeat and gets on with living. She never expected to receive control of the company but there is no way she’s going to let that arrogant blowhard take it away from her now. If you love really good opposites attract or enemy to lover tropes… then Sweet Texas Charm has you covered on that.
  
  The mystery of the love letters that had been woven throughout this series is finally solved, and that definitely was a fun, emotional wrapup of that mystery. I had a blast with Becca and Gray. If you’ve watched the tv show, Undercover Boss, then you’ll have a few chuckles at Gray’s expense with his final push to gain back what he believes was stolen from him. I had fun, and would without hesitation recommend all three stories in this series.

  I received this arc from Tule Publishing in exchange for an honest review. This is the third and final book in the series. Each book was written by a different author. I really enjoyed this series. The premise was that the father of 3 sons passed away. He had promised each son a different bequest. This is Grayson’s story. He is CEO of Guac Olé and was promised majority share interest at his dad’s death. Instead, his father gave the majority share of the company to a woman who was a supervisor on the line, that he Wasn’t acquainted with, Becca. His brothers went through similar issues with their expected items. A family house and land were promised to Gage and Gavin but were instead given to women their dad had selected for them to end up with. Grayson and his brothers continue to wonder about the identity of the woman whose love letters to and from their dad they discovered in the safe deposit box.
  
  Grayson arranges to meet Becca for drinks and offers to buy her shares. The meeting doesn’t go well and she leaves after he accuses her of blackmailing his father, insults her intelligence and she dumps a bowl of guacamole on him. Everyone seems to think they were going to be the next couple, set up by the dad. Becca is aware her staff doesn’t like Grayson because of his attitude toward the employees. Grayson invites her to join his family at a local music event and she declines. She is there anyway with her friends from the plant and runs into him. One of the guys insults Grayson and attacks him. Grayson ends up firing him for his disrespectful behavior. Grayson devises a scheme to disguise himself as a fake college roommate (Rick) to work with Becca on the line. He tries to learn what the employees think of him and why Becca got his shares. He tells everyone he is taking a vacation up to the time Becca’s ownership starts.
  
  Grayson, as Rick, spends time talking to Becca and realizes he likes her and that she is a genuine person. Becca shares that she has been working on a recipe for a lighter guacamole using fruit. Grayson really likes the Guac and as Rick, convinces her to make a presentation about expanding into restaurants, using her dip recipe, to the board. Becca sees Grayson a couple of times outside work and both notice the chemistry between them. Things get more exciting and there are plenty of surprises and plot twists to keep the reason engrossed.
  
  I highly recommend This book and give it 5 stars.

  This story is the last in a 3-book series written by three different authors, none of which I was overly familiar with. Out of the three, this story was my favorite.
  
  Grayson is, quite likely, the most unlikable of the brothers at the beginning. And that’s saying a lot because Gage was a real piece of work for a good portion of Sweet Texas Fire. More than with Gage, though, was a sense of vulnerability about Grayson that ended up endearing him to me. Even when he made a colossally terrible decision on how to handle his “problem” with Becca, I still found myself rooting for him.
  
  Becca has such a soft touch, it’s almost hard to remember that she also has a whole lot of spunk and backbone. She seems to care deeply about everyone she comes in contact with, doing her best to make their lives better. Everyone, in turn, loves her. Grayson is too far removed from his non-executive employees and the town as a whole that he doesn’t know what a huge asset Becca can be at their business.
  
  There is wonderful chemistry between Gray and Becca and gave me warm-fuzzies more than once. I found myself hoping they’d both work through their issues and find their HEA, even when Grayson jumped the shark.
  
  I’m glad I was offered the books in this series from the publisher. The overarching story that ran through all three books was interesting and the individual stories were well laid out and connected well to one another. I will most likely try more from all the authors, but will definitely look into more from this author.

  Can a father meddle in your life even after death? Yes if your name is Grayson Cooper. Grayson was expecting to given ownership of the family company that made guacamole. He was not given complete ownership like he expected. Instead he received a keychain with a strawberry on it plus minority control of Guac Ole. Majority ownership of Guac Ole was given to Becca Nash, the line supervisor for the production of the guacamole that has made the company famous.
  
  Becca had no clue why she was given controlling interest in the company. She loved her job on the line and really had no desire to do anything else. But obviously her former boss had other ideas.
  
  What follows is a sweet, funny story of Becca and Grayson figuring how to make things work. Grayson thinks there is only one way for things to go - his way. He went to college and studied business and he never learned to think outside of the lines. Becca has her own ideas based on her experiences and gut instinct. She tried college and decided it was not for her. She loved her job and had some ideas for how to expand the company but wasn't willing to share those ideas. When Grayson manages to make her mad, Becca decides that she will take charge of the company since she was left the controlling interest in the company.
  
  Along the way, these two do manage to fall in love and uncover the story behind the strawberry keychain.
  
  This is a sweet wonderful read that helps you to escape into a sweet small town full of wonderful characters. I look forward to reading more by Robyn Neeley.

  Sweet Texas Charm is the third in the multi-author Sweet Texas Secrets series set, not surprisingly, in Sweet Ridge, Texas. The series focuses on the inheritances left to the three Cooper brothers and this book is middle brother Grayson’s story.
  As the story opens Grayson, who’s wanted to be CEO of his father’s guacamole dip factory since he was a child, is demonstrating every imaginable arrogant, opinionated and out of touch with his workforce character trait imaginable. He’s good with his spreadsheets and figures but utterly useless in the people management area.
  Becca Nash, the woman who’s inherited what Grayson had considered to be rightfully his majority shareholding in the factory, is a line manager on the factory floor. She’s everything that Grayson isn’t—a great leader, friendly and caring with her co-workers, hands-on yet also a good and passionate businesswoman.
  I just loved Becca’s confidence in her confrontations with Grayson. Her enthusiastic dumping of a bowl of guacamole dip over his head set the scene for their future dealings. Actually there were several guacamole moments in Grayson’s story and they all had me chuckling. Actually there were plenty of scenes in this story that had me either laughing or smiling. It was a sweet ending to a thoroughly entertaining series.

  This is the book I liked best in the Sweet Texas Secrets trilogy. I really liked the author's The Bachelors of Buttermilk Falls series, and even though this book is slightly more sensual (there is a descriptive sex scene, though it's short) I could find the same elements that made me enjoy the other series by the author: small-town charm, funny characters, a charming and cocky hero, a sassy heroine who'll keep him on his toes. And that little bit of magic that in this case is created by fate and a matchmaking father.
  I loved the undercover boss references and it was nice to see Grayson, the hero, grow and change his opinion of Becca, the heroine, little by little. The attraction was pretty much instant, but the love developed slowly and it was more believable and realistic.
  I loved the "grand gesture" Grayson thought of to win Becca's heart after he messed things up. There were some emotional moments (when the meaning of the box and of the letters mentioned in the two previous books is finally revealed and the recipients of the letters is found) and I thought this was the perfect ending for the series. However, the book can be read as a standalone and it will be an enjoyable romance.

  I fell in love with this book from the very beginning, I had a hard time putting it down. Grayson is the last brother to find his HEA, with the help of his deceased father the matchmaker. Grayson is the CEO of Gauc Ole and Becca a supervisor has just found out that she now owns controlling voting stock in the company. They are opposites of each other but can't deny the chemistry that they share. As they start working together they soon find out that they have more than a working relationship together.
  
  Loved these characters, Becca is such a fun loving person. Grayson, is all business. Loved how they worked out their differences to have their HEA. I must admit I did shed a few sad and happy tears through out this story. Well written full of emotions.
  
  This is the third story, each book is written by a different author. I did not read the first two books and had no trouble reading this book, but now I will go back and read about the two other brothers.

  This is the third book in the Sweet Texas Series each by a different author but let me tell you please read each one you would think they were written by the same person. This series has been one of my favorite this Spring 2020 and one I will re-visit again and again. In this book Grayson, the last brother to left to "fall" has still to discover why their dad Jack left him a strawberry key chain and not the controlling stock in Gauc Ole'. Instead Becca, one of the workers on the floor ends up with 51%of the stock and maybe one way Grayson's heart if he is a lucky man. This book has everything and more I could want in a read. It answered all the questions I had from the first two books, although you do not need to read them to follow along in this one and ties it all up. Make sure to have some tissue and block off time to read this for yourself. Because once you start you will not want anyone bothering you unless they are dropping off chips, Guac and of course your drink of choice.

  Amazing ending to a great trilogy full of love, mystery and people finding their way. Out of the three Cooper brothers I found myself so annoyed with the career driven Grayson who cared about little else. However when he found his match in Becca she softened some of his edges and showed him what was really important.
  
  This trilogy is unique in each book is by a different author, although other then some unique writing styles that are there you would never know as the continuity is wonderful, the characters are relatable and the mystery donning the series becomes more interesting through each story. This was the perfect ending and left off on such a nice high note.
  
  Seriously if you haven’t started the series I would highly recommend picking up Gavin’s story and diving into the small town of Sweet Ridge and the strange puzzle Jack Cooper left behind

  This is the 3rd and final book in the series. I really enjoyed them and I am sad that this is the last book. Grayson is the last of Jack's sons to figure out his part of the will. At the reading of his father's will he found out that his promised inheritance, the family company, was not given to him. The controlling shares went to a woman who works in the factory. All he got was a strawberry key chain with a note from his dad. Now he is on a mission to convince her to sell him her shares. His bothers met their loves matches but there is no one that a college drop out who peels avocados is going to win his heart. Becca loves working at Guac Ole. She has no idea why Jack left her controlling interest in his company. Can Grayson get to know Becca well enough to convince her to sell? Can Becca resist the Cooper family charm and stand her ground? Great read.

  A great addition to the Sweet Texas Secrets series.
  Sweet Texas Charm by Robyn Neeley. This book is the third book in the series.
  I enjoyed reading Grayson's story. Robyn Neeley really knows how to write a story and bring it together at the end. I recommend reading this series in order so you know what the back story and other brothers stories are.

  This is a great third novel in the Sweet Texas Secrets series. There is a ton of head butting and a man who truly needs to learn a lesson.

  Sad to see the 3rd and last book in the Sweet Texas Secrets series end.Grayson isn't happy with what was left in his dad's will,now he's scheming to get back what he thinks he's entitled to even if he has to do underhanded things like play undercover boss on the line.

  I’m enjoying the idea of a series being written by different authors. This is the 3rd series that I’ve read in this form & I really enjoy how different authors can come together with a theme & create a wonderful series. Grayson & Becca’s story was wonderfully funny, sweet & sexy. Becca received a gift that should’ve gone to Grayson & he’s determined to get it back. As we watch the battle of wills between them we also get to watch them fall in love. The fireworks between them & the joking of his brothers is great. This story was a great addition to the series. Thank you to Tule publishing for allowing me to read this book for an honest review.

  This is the third book in a trilogy and it is a good wrap up. I am impressed that even though each book was written by a different author, the trilogy managed to maintain continuity, not only in the story line, but with each character's personality and voice. I found one thing at the beginning of this book that I thought contradicted previous books slightly so I was looking for more but just didn't see them. I loved the Cooper brothers and enjoyed watching each of them go through essentially the same process but with their own unique actions and reactions. When their father died and left each of their promised inheritances to to women they barely knew, they each had to come to grips with why and how to carry on without tearing apart the family legacy. I felt most sorry for Grayson throughout the trilogy, as he seemed to get nothing from his father but a keychain. And I have to admit that I was surprised more than once that he didn't just walk away from Guac Ole and start his own company . . . or sabotage it and run it into the ground to get back at Becca. But his trying to figure it out and finagle his way back in was so much for fun! And I loved the ending (all tied up in a pretty bow, so to speak) when they finally get the truth about their dad's intentions. I laughed out loud and I hope others do too!
