I did not want to finish this book! The characters made me
laugh and cry, and the slow-burn clean romance between Boone and Ruby tugged at
my heartstrings.
I wanted to know more about Boone’s country music career, and see Ruby and her lively teenage daughter, Violet, walk into their
mother-daughter relationship (I won’t say more so I don’t spoil anything). I wanted more. Plain and simple. The ranch and horse scenes kept me engaged. I can only
hope there is a sequel.
The characters deal with tough issues we all may have experienced at one time or another in our
families and have come out singing. Character advice stood sound, as did all the
horse scenes. I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time.
Hitting rock bottom has landed country star Boone Williams in the middle of his worst nightmare: a recording studio on a horse therapy farm hours away from Nashville. He has no interest in dealing with his problems or writing a new album. And he’s definitely not interested in the gorgeous, feisty mom of one of Helping Hooves’s young clients. She doesn’t even know who he is! But his record label is one tabloid story from cutting him loose, and Boone can’t seem to turn around without bumping into Ruby and her daughter,…
The
author’s writing voice and style captured my attention right off the bat.
Tessa
James and Jackson Spivey came alive for me in In Her Sights and remained
with me for months after. That’s the kind of book I enjoy reading. The book
title and Western sharpshooting female theme drew me in right away, and the
pace and excitement of a bad boy and a classy and spunky lady kept me turning
pages.
The author’s inclusion of Annie Oakley was a bonus. I’m a huge fan of her
marksmanship.
Most
of all, I liked the character's transformations and their happily ever after.
This is a sweet romance with plenty of grit and grace.
He's sworn off love, but she has his heart in her sights and doesn't intend to miss.
Stained by his wastrel father's legacy, Jackson Spivey lives on the fringes of society. Townsfolk tolerate him since he keeps the local hotel supplied with fresh game, but mothers coach their daughters to avoid him. After tasting consistent rejection, Jackson spurns all attempts at courtship. The only things he can count on are his guns and his God.
Tessa James has been secretly in love with Jackson for ages, but trying to gain his favor only pushes him further away. When she learns…
Rescuing Her Ranch is one of those books in which I felt
heroine Macy Stone’s frustration and anger over the threat of losing her ranch
to her longtime friend’s uncle.

to a huge fight on her hands. To make matters worse, Cole Crawford, said
longtime friend, begins to work for his uncle. All while she’s taking care of
Cole’s precious daughter. Not good. Cole quickly shoots from friend to enemy.
Yet the ending is very, very satisfying.
This book made me cry and laugh and
cheer for Macy and Cole.
Returning home after losing her job, Macey Stone agrees to care for the daughter of old friend Cole Crawford. Then she discovers that Cole’s uncle’s company wants to bulldoze her family’s land. Seeing the devoted dad with his child soon has her falling for the enemy. But can she choose between saving Stone River Ranch…and helping the man who’s stolen her heart?
