This is book 2 in the series that centers around the Only in Texas Detective Agency: Tyler's story. Tyler is what you would describe as handsome but somewhat nerdy, and he hasn't had much luck in the romance department. I really liked his character. He was charmingly sweet without being sappy, and he was insecure enough to make you want to root for him.
Zoe waltzes into Only in Texas after seeing what she believes is her own childhood photograph on an unsolved murder mystery show. She enlists the help of Tyler and the other guys (Dallas and Austin) to help her uncover the truth about her identity, and things get more complicated when someone starts threatening Zoe by making anonymous phone calls and doing a drive-by shooting.
While I enjoyed watching the relationship grow between Tyler and Zoe, I think I liked the first book in the series (Dallas and Nikki's story) a bit better. I missed the laugh-out-loud moments from the first book. While Zoe had her moments, she got a bit irritating to me. I didn't really buy into the "insta-love" between the hero and heroine, and I actually found myself enjoying the secondary story between Ellen and Rick more than the main characters. I would describe the heat level as fairly mild.
I'll continue on to book 3 (Austin's story) because I do like the relationship between all of the characters, and I want to see how the series wraps up. I hope that there is more humor again in the third book.
