Last Mango in Texas

This is a really enjoyable and fun book to read. Yet again, I feel like Blackstone writes about characters we all can relate to and most importantly, be entertained by. Few authors can find a balance between insightful and humorous, yet Blackstone does just that again in the "Last Mango in Texas."

I like all of Ray Blackston's books. Last Mango in Texas is definitely a good one, with the same wacky humor and always giving a realistic view on faith.

Kyle inherits an oil company while pursuing an environmentally conscious Greenie, Gretchen. While he doesn't think that oil is necessarily bad, Gretchen sees oil as the enemy. Can he get away with throwing money at good green causes, while hiding the truth from the girl he loves? Fun fast-paced storytelling with tongue-in-cheek moral dilemmas. This was just a whole lot of fun to read.

The Last Mango in Texas, by Ray Blackston, is a refrshing novel. I enjoyed this novel from the first page until the last. The main character, Kyle Mango, is such a lively character that you are intrigued with him and his life instantly. Kyle is a student who meets the girl of his dreams. However, things soon become confusing. He faces the hardest decision of his life: Love or Money.

"Last Mango in Texas" is signature Ray Blackston. His dialogue sparkles. His characters are bright and funny. His narrative is some of the wittiest writing in the business! Kyle Mango is a college student with an unthinkable decision to make! He must choose between Gretchen, the girl of his dreams, and being set for life financially as the owner of four oil wells that he inherited from his uncle. No brainer? NO WAY! Ray Blackston weaves a colorful tale of love and environmental responsibility that will make you laugh out loud and seriously question how you would handle yourself if faced with the same circumstances. This is a completely enjoyable, intelligent read with a thread of faith woven throughout.
