Review: Bull Rider’s Baby Surprise (The Telfords of Montana, Book 3) by Sinclair Jayne

A Champion bull rider in need of a reputation salvage. The ambitious intern who excels at spin. A forced exile and an unexpected baby. What else could go wrong?

At the end of the American Extreme Bull Rider tour, fan favorite Cash Hunter again sits at the top of the leaderboard. Standing in the winner’s circle opining about his chances in the finals, a woman he’s never seen runs toward him cursing before shoving a baby into his arms and disappearing. Suddenly the golden boy’s tarnished.

Madelyn Ramone always prepares for success and disaster. While tour execs panic, Maddy steps up with her redemption plan. Publicly embrace fatherhood. Go home. Lay low. Document daddy moments. Take a DNA test. Accompanying him wasn’t part of her plan. She’s going to need her own Kevlar vest to resist his potent sexual pull.

Cash is furious. No one believes the child isn’t his, especially the coolly judgmental Maddy. But he needs her. And she’s gunning for the opportunity. Neither wants to buckle up and head to the small Montana town that holds unpleasant associations and memories for them both.

 

My Review:   

Has all the “feels”. 

When Cash is handed a baby by a woman claiming it’s his, everything changes for the champion bull rider.  He is forced to take a break from the tour.  Madelyn Ramone, the marking intern for AEBR tour, is forced to tag along with Cash to document his instant fatherhood.  But this is just the start of this story.  So much more happens to make it one extremely memorable books.  This is a heartfelt and emotional story with great characters and an amazing storyline.

Review: Surgeon’s Surprise Baby (Montana Made, Book 5) by Eve Gaddy

 

 

One woman. One baby. One chance to make it right.

After leaving the army, surgeon Ryan Hunter lives by one rule– stay safe. He never remains anywhere or with anyone for too long. And then he meets Aria DeLuca, and for two years, he breaks all his rules. When he realizes he’s fallen in love, he walks away, heading to Marietta, Montana.

Aria never expected forever. Her relationship with Ryan was supposed to be strings-free but tell her heart that. After Ryan leaves, she discovers she’s pregnant. Wrestling with her decision to keep her pregnancy a secret, Aria changes her mind after Sophie is born. Her daughter deserves to have a chance to know her father. But she is leery as Aria knows firsthand the pain of having a father walk away.

Aria arrives in Marietta—with a baby and a dream of opening a plant nursery. Ryan breaking her heart again is not an option.

Loving Aria and their daughter, Sophie, is easy. Believing he deserves them is not. Can Ryan prove he’s done running before the family he never knew he wanted slips away for good?

 

My Review: 

A heartfelt second chance romance. 

This book was so good. It’s an emotional read too.  I enjoyed seeing Aria and Hunter work through their differences and fears to learn to love and trust one another, not only to give baby Sophie a good life, but to become a couple again.  There is so much more to this book, but to talk about it would give away too many spoilers.  This book has a lot of depth to it, but the best happily ever after.

Review: Taming the Wild Cowboy (Bad Boys of the Rodeo, Book 2) by Jeannie Watt

 

He’s the last cowboy she wants to ask for help. He’s the only one offering a chance…

Never in her wildest dreams did equine specialist Maclyn Kane imagine she’d beg her ex for help five years after he tanked her shot at her dream job. But once again she’s out of work with two horses and a dog to feed, and the independent cowgirl can’t pass up any offers—even humiliating and grudging ones.

Rancher Trev Matthews is desperate to find someone to help him through calving season, so when Maclyn, the woman who wrecked his truck and lied about it at the end of their rodeo careers responds to his job posting, he reluctantly hires her—temporarily. As soon as he finds someone with experience, she’s out. Or so he thinks.

Time supposedly heals all wounds. It also can provide clarity and proof he was too quick to judge. But how can the former rodeo star convince the woman who refuses to depend on anyone except herself to trust him and that temporary can become permanent?

 

My Review:  

I didn’t want this book to end.  

When Maclyn Kane loses her job and finds herself desperate for work, she is referred to Tree Fork Ranch.  She soon learns she will be working for one of her former friend’s ex, Trev Matthews.  They start off a bit stand-offish because of something that happened in the past, but when the truth finally comes out, their boss/employee relationship starts to grow into much more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its entertaining plot, interesting characters and great ranch life scenes. 

Review: If She Were Mine (The Medicine Man Book 6) by Karen Kay

A star-crossed love, treachery, and a desire that will not be denied.

Briella Feher is in love, but not with her fiancé. Her father has exiled her from the sweeping plains of Montana to New York City “for her own safety,” commanding her to marry within her heritage and class. Raised in Indian Territory, Briella was shaped as much by the Pikuni—Blackfeet—people as by her aristocratic Hungarian family. Viewed as a cowgirl, Briella doesn’t fit in with society. Perhaps it’s the guns she wears strapped to her evening gowns. Her heart has always belonged to Red Fox, the Pikuni medicine man who taught her to survive on the prairie, the man who was her teacher, her first love. When James Maximillian III proposes—with the condition that he keep his mistress—Briella accepts, seeing his proposal as her only path back to Montana and to Red Fox.

Two years apart have not cooled the fire between Briella and Red Fox, yet his honor won’t allow him to claim this woman who is promised to another. With the escalation of the Indian/Cavalry wars, Red Fox believes distance is the only way to protect the woman he loves. Then a vision reveals a devastating truth: Briella’s fiancé is hiding a lie that could shatter every vow. It’s now up to Red Fox to find the truth.

But, time is running out and forces are aligned against them. Can Red Fox find the proof and expose the treachery in time to alter the ending of their Romeo and Juliet romance, or will he lose Briella forever in a romance destined for tragedy?

Warning: This is a forbidden love story—forbidden by both sets of parents--which begs the question: will the hero and heroine get a second chance at love? Set in the 1870's, this sensual love story is sprinkled with paranormal, Native American style. But, if you love the old west as it was lived and loved by the First Americans, you're going to love this story.

 

My Review: 

 Love conquers all. 

This is a second chance love story between Briella Feher and Red Fox, who have been in love most of their lives, but separated for the last two years. When Briella finally returns to Indian Country, she plans to be with Red Fox.  The reason she was finally able to return to her family ranch is because she was expected to marry someone else.  Someone who is not good for Briella or her family.  But Briella and Red Fox are determined to be together and will do anything they can to make it happen.  I really enjoyed this book with a hard earned happily ever after.

 

 

Review: Five Summers from Now (Any Time Now Book 2) by Michelle Dayton

Perfect for fans of heartfelt second-chance romance, emotional time-slip stories, and love that refuses to fade.

They were supposed to spend the Fourth of July weekend with their closest friends—fireworks, laughter, traditions. Instead, Merritt Sullivan and Ben Samuels broke up on the drive to the lake, before the first spark lit the sky.

But after a strange accident on the dock, they wake up to find that everything’s changed. It’s five years later. They’re no longer a couple. Their friends’ lives have shifted in ways they never saw coming. Careers, relationships, even loyalties have rearranged—some for the better, some painfully worse. And neither of them remembers the years in between.

Forced to navigate a future they don’t recall, Merritt and Ben must work together to understand what fractured not only their relationship, but their entire friend group. The only way back—if going back is even possible—is to face the heartbreak they once tried to outrun.

As old feelings resurface and new truths come to light, they’ll have to decide: is the future worth keeping…or worth rewriting?

 

My Review:  

An entertaining and imaginative story. 

Every year, Merritt and Ben join their friends at the lake for Fourth of July.  This year is different, they broke up during the drive and don’t know how to tell their friends.  Suddenly, they are transported five years into the future and a lot has changed.  But one thing remained, they were still in love, they just didn’t want to admit it.  Will the lessons they learned, in the future, help them rekindle their love when they go back to the present day?  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn’t wait to see how the story ended.
