Her passion for her job…

…could cost him everything

Former rodeo champion Jace Hendricks has six weeks to turn his run-down ranch around or he could lose custody of his nieces and nephew. But biologist Vivian Reed has to survey his land first—and she won’t be rushed. Vivian’s optimism and wonder start to win over the kids…and even Jace. But with all that’s at stake, can he risk getting any more involved with Vivian?

AFTER THE RODEO is book two of Claire McEwen’s Heroes of Shelter Creek series and centers on a former rodeo champ turned rancher and a wildlife biologist in a heartwarming enemies to lovers story.

Jace and his predicament of needing a stable home for his nieces and nephews is quick to catch the readers attention and sympathy. He’s on a deadline to get his new home in order for these kids or he could lose them. Things would be going smoothly if it wasn’t for the wildlife study being demanded by the town.

Vivian isn’t sure why stepping back a minute and reevaluating part of his land is such a big deal to Jace, but she’s got a job to do and she’s going to do it. Falling for Jace and his kids wasn’t part of the plan, but just try telling her heart that.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a sweet romance filled with family drama and adorable cuteness. You can’t go wrong in picking up any book in this series so far, and I’m highly anticipating more to come!

Where is Skye Colton?

One woman’s disappearance rocks Roaring Springs

When he finds a half-dead woman stranded in his barn, rancher Leo Slattery feels his blood run cold. Though she can’t remember who she is, she insists someone is trying to kill her. With his strong protective streak, Leo brings her into the fold and helps her heal. As they begin to solve the mystery of Jane Doe’s identity, a would-be killer works to eliminate her—forever.

COLTON ON THE RUN by Anna J. Stewart is the nine book in the beloved The Coltons of Roaring Springs series and centers around a rancher and the amnesia victim he finds on his property.

Skye is wrapped immediately around the reader’s heart as she brings her fear and peril to life in front of our eyes as the book opens. She fights her way to freedom and endears herself as a strong woman who has every reason to be terrified of her own shadow.

Leo and his dog Ollie are going about life on the ranch when they’re met with the surprise of a lifetime. They both quickly fall under Skye’s spell as they will do anything to protect her and help her find out who she is and get her home since she has amnesia.

I highly recommend this breath catching story of danger and intrigue to anyone who loves a story heavy on intrigue and heart. The action is intense and descriptive and the bond between Sky and Leo is spot on. Really enjoying this series and looking forward to more to come.

A luxury escape…

A chance to reveal her baby bombshell!

In this Destination Brides story, a bid at a charity auction wins Eve Bliss a dream holiday on safari! As a penniless single mom, she’d be mad not to go, but she’s not expecting Kit Merchant to be there on business. She and Kit once shared a passionate moment. Now, together in beautiful Africa, how long can she keep her four-year-old secret… Kit has a daughter!

A SECRET, A SAFARI, A SECOND CHANCE by Liz Fielding is book four in the Destination Brides series and revolves around a single mom teacher and a carefree sailing champion in a delightful take on a reunion story with a surprise baby.

The book starts with a bit of back story to fill us in on how they came to have their fling a few years ago, then we are thrust into the story that leads to them unexpectedly reconnecting.

Kit comes across as a bit of a partying playboy, but beneath the surface, he’s a guy that has searched for the woman that touched his soul for years. He’s thrilled to finally have her back in his life … but how will he feel when he learns she’s kept his adorable daughter from him?

Eve has a high expectation of what she expects a father to be, and because she doesn’t feel in her heart that Kit could ever be that man, she’s reluctant to even give him the chance. She’s a bit of a conundrum really. You like her, and feel for what she’s gone through … but she’s a bit self-righteous too.

I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves a surprise baby romance, and especially to those who enjoy a story set in a foreign country where the details of the sounds, sites and wildlife in this book really shine.

Should she pretend to be the woman he loves?

Working with new client and ex-lover Risk Boone is bound to be…enticing. So April Adams dons a fake engagement ring to ward off temptation. But when they’re stranded together at a remote lodge, there’s no running from their attraction—especially after Risk hits his head and wakes up thinking April’s his fiancée! Will she tell him the truth…or go along for the ride?

STRANDED AND SEDUCED is book two in the Boon Brothers of Texas series by Charlene Sands, and centers around a former rodeo champ turned rancher and a realtor in a tempting reunion story.

Risk has a self-assured personality that is quick to catch a reader’s eye, and his story of amnesia gave a little hint of mystery as we wondered how it would all play out.

April had a bit of an unrequited crush on him back in their school days, then a bit of history with him a couple of years ago but at this point she’s only out to resist him … if only she could.

I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a delightful fast paced story with a hint of unknown, a fake engagement and even a spell of amnesia! I’m enjoying this series a lot and looking forward to more to come.
