Review: The Cowboy’s Secret Babies (The Careys of Cowboy Point #3) by Megan Crane

 

Ryder Carey has known Rosie Stark their whole lives, including one very hot night three years ago—but he’s always been about the rodeo. Finally back home and ready to make it up to her, he takes one look at Rosie—and her twin boys who look just like him—and realizes the truth.

When Rosie found out she was pregnant, she figured Ryder would at least come and say hello when he was home the next time so she could tell him. But he never did.

So she’s made her own life as a single mom, no thanks to him.

Now Ryder is back. And he has the nerve to be furious with her.

He’s determined to be a father to his kids—and more than happy to fight about it. In court if necessary. Or anywhere else, which feels a little too much like those sparks she remembers from Texas and wants nothing to do with now. Or does she?

 

My Review:

A beautiful love story.

It all started with a one night stand.  What came next was just as unexpected, Rosie was pregnant with Ryder’s babies.  When Ryder finally left the rodeo and came home to Cowboy Point, he discovered the result of that wild night of passion in Austin.  Now Ryder will do anything to get to know his sons. Falling in love with Rosie was just the icing on the cake.

This is one of those books that I just couldn’t forget after reading it.  It was full of emotion, forgiveness and a wonderful second chance.

 

Review: Death by Deception (Shepherd Sisters Mysteries #1) by Tracy Gardner

Savanna Shepherd is a former art authenticator―someone who can tell a forgery from the real thing. She’s got a talent for spotting secrets hiding in plain sight.

After being fired and dumped in the same terrible day, Savanna moves back to her idyllic hometown on the banks of Lake Michigan. At least she’s close to her sisters again, and she’s enjoying her new job as a grade school art teacher.

Savanna even rediscovers her creative soul when an old family friend hires her to paint a mural. But when a cozy book club meeting ends with a possible murder, and then dangerous incidents occur in and around the friend’s mansion, Savanna’s sharp eye is put to the test. With a little help from her sisters―and from Aidan, the intriguing town doctor―will she be able to figure out what’s wrong with this picture?

 

My Review:

Entertaining and unpredictable.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I am already wanting to read the next book in this series.  It had a great cast of characters and the story was well written and kept my attention the entire time I was reading.  I had a hard time putting the book down.  It was so exciting and addictive all the way to the end.

 

 

Review: The Bookworm and the Cat's Meow by Jeanine Lauren

When life gives you a second chance, sometimes it comes with claws.

Recently divorced and looking for a fresh start, Lance Reed swaps his business in the city for the cozy charm of a bookstore in the heart of Sunshine Bay. What he doesn't expect is the slew of community commitments that come with it—especially the agreement to display cats from the local pet shelter in his store.

There's just one problem: Lance hates cats.

Enter Raven Johnson, the spirited, cat-loving woman behind the pet shelter. Also, in her mid-fifties and divorced, Raven has dedicated her life to her daughter and her feline friends, leaving little room for romance or other personal ambitions.

To her chagrin, her cat sanctuary is now linked to the bookstore, where her cats, the cat-hating Lance, and his books must somehow coexist.

Will Lance learn to open his heart to the furry friends he never wanted, and can Raven find room for a new chapter in her own story?

My Review:

A sweet clean romance.

I read another review about this book and I knew I had to read it as well. It is such a sweet story about a cat rescuer who meets the man who just bought the bookstore in their little town. I really liked the theme with cats, books and the 50+ year old characters that I could relate to.
