Ranchers

The Rancher’s Fake Fiancee by Amy Vastine – Review

December 28, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for quick, clean reads, you really can’t beat Harlequin’s Heartwarming line. I’ve read several of these authors over the past year and each and every one of their books has been a great read without content I don’t want in my reading.

About the Book

“I’m coming home…With my bride-to-be.” Tyler Blackwell just announced that he and Hadley Sullivan are getting married. And they’ve never even dated! Now she and her boss are in Montana so Tyler can sell his family ranch. Hadley only agreed to continue the deception in exchange for a promotion. But moving up the corporate ladder pales beside her growing feelings for Tyler. Will his past and Blackwell family secrets sabotage what Hadley wants more than anything–a real wedding?

In My Opinion

The title alone tells you plenty about this book so I won’t go into detail about the synopsis of this story other than to say the setup was fun but once in Montana, things take a turn.

Tyler and Hadley both struggle to feel accepted by their families. Amy Vastine creates a believable situation where two people would need to continue to playout a fake engagement. And all three of the other Blackwell brothers (as well as a few other townspeople) make an appearance.

At its heart, this is a story of how a person’s perception can get skewed to the point it changes who they believe themselves to be. Both Tyler and Hadley struggle with their family dynamics which are sometimes tenuous but there is also love between the Blackwell brothers as well as Hadley’s family.

Four down brothers have found love. There’s one left and I am looking forward to Chance’s story and getting to meet his daughter Rosie in the final book of this series.

I am loving this Blackwell brothers, multi-author series. Three brothers have come home, there are two more to go!

He’s not the only one who needs saving…

But maybe they can save each other?

Dark, brooding, dangerous…and possibly suicidal. Renegade rancher Justin Cade was exactly the kind of man former army chaplain Brielle Thompson needed to avoid after escaping the horrors of Afghanistan with an honorable discharge—and PTSD. The whole point of moving to the remote Rocky Mountains of Colorado was to leave the darkness behind, not fall back into it. But falling she is…

Christmas at Cade Ranch by Karen Rock (Review)

November 15, 2017 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

While I’ve been listening to Christmas music for a couple weeks now (don’t judge. I love it and one month just isn’t enough), I have held off a bit on the Christmas book reviews. But, if you want to read them before December 25, I figure now’s the time to start sharing them with you! Today’s Christmas story is brought to you by Harlequin Heartwarming (sweet romance) and author Karen Rock.

About the Book

James Cade has one priority: keep the family ranch running smoothly in the wake of his younger brother’s death. With Jesse’s ex, Sofia Gallardo, and her young son, Javi, stranded at Cade Ranch over Christmas, this task just got a lot harder. The longer Sofia and Javi stay, the harder it is to imagine the ranch without them. James couldn’t save his brother from his inner demons, but he can give his nephew a secure future. Maybe more—if he can figure out how to trust Sofia, and stop feeling like he’s betraying Jesse. Because trying to stop thinking about beautiful, determined Sofia is impossible.

Too Far Down by Mary Connealy (Review)

October 6, 2017 by Suzie Waltner 2 Comments

Cowboys, Action, Humor, and History Collide in Connealy’s Latest

When an explosion kills men and damages the CR Mining Company, the Bodens realize their troubles are not behind them as they thought. Shadowy forces are still working against them.
Cole Boden finds himself caught between missing his time back East and all that New Mexico offers. Sure he fights with his siblings now and then, but he does care for them. He enjoys running the mine and, when he’s honest, he admits that Melanie Blake captures his interest in a way no other woman ever has.
Melanie has been a friend to the Bodens forever. A cowgirl who is more comfortable with horses and lassoes than people, she never expected to find herself falling for someone. Particularly for refined Cole Boden, a Harvard graduate who may not stay long at the ranch. She’s determined, however, to help the Bodens finally put an end to the danger that’s threatened all of them. But will putting herself in harm’s way be more dangerous than anyone expected?
