The Once Upon a Time in Texas series by Carly Bloom consists of four contemporary romance novels published between 2018 and 2021. Set in the small fictional town of Big Verde in the Texas Hill Country, each book pairs a different couple and delivers a mix of humor, attraction, and emotional depth against a backdrop of ranches, local businesses, and tight-knit community life.

The series starts with Big Bad Cowboy, where a rancher reluctantly takes on a fairy-tale role for a local event and ends up falling for someone unexpected. Subsequent books, including It’s All About That Cowboy, Cowboy Come Home, and Must Love Cowboys, continue to explore life and love in Big Verde. Bloom writes cowboys who are charming without being one-dimensional, and heroines who give as good as they get.
