I love mangoes, but I wasn’t expecting a book about Texas mangoes.  Well, this Mango is not the ordinary, run of the mill Mango.  Shortly before graduating from college, Kyle Mango inherited four oil wells.  He thought that he would be able to use that to impress the lady of his dreams.  Before he could tell her about his good luck, she ended up in Alaska as a volunteer cleaning birds which had the misfortune to be caught in an oil slick.  How can a Texas oilman persuade a bird loving free spirit that they are destined to be a couple?  You’ll have to read the book to find out.  I can’t tell.  I haven’t finished the book yet and I don’t have any more time to mess around here.  I’ve got to find out how or if they get together.  Hope you enjoy the book as much as I am.
