The Army Ranger's Return - Soraya Lane

The Army Ranger's Return by Soraya Lane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It takes a strong woman to overcome cancer, but when her pen pal returns from the Army her heart might be in danger of falling for him!
No stranger to heartache, Ryan has seen many lives taken by war and had to live through the heartbreaking task of watching his wife die from cancer. Jessica has been writing him for a while and now he is able to meet her face to face, but can he handle life back in civilization as just a normal man when he's had to be a hero for so long?
Jessica has a secret she is keeping from Ryan to keep from breaking his heart but that secret may be the wedge that drives them apart.....

This was a refreshing change of pace from the cowboys I normally read about. Ryan was kind and unsure at first, but he quickly decided he wanted more from life than the Army. I liked Jessica because she is a survivor of a horrible cancer. She is brave and kind, but I did not like that she kept her secret from Ryan. I guess that is what makes the book worth writing, though - having problems in the story to solve!

This book had tender moments and hot moments, the perfect duo for a perfectly written romance story. You will be intrigued and impressed by the authors knowledge of horses and how she manages to make a disabled person fall in love and builds on the attraction to create a perfect ending.

Ranger Daddy - Rebecca Winters

Ranger Daddy by Rebecca Winters

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was a good read, but I wouldn't say it was great. The hero was an everyday hardworking man who had made his money earlier in his life as a stunt-motorcyclist. He had a past with an ex wife but had no children. It wasn't until Gabi (the heroine) came on the scene running from her dangerous ex husband did he (Jeff, the hero) realize what he was missing. Gabi had a beautiful little girl and was looking for protection from her ex, when she thought of Jeff. Enter hero Jeff. The only thing that I didn't like was Gabi constantly trying to leave. That got a little annoying. I mean, Jeff was trying to do the right thing and protect her, yet she was dumb enough not to let him just do what he thought he could do to help her. I also didn't like that they didn't seem to have any heat between them to build up to a intimate scene after they were married. Instead, they weren't intimate until after they were married (which I am not against), but when the intimate scene was written it was a very dull and flat scene. It was disappointing, considering that he had alot of steamy potential being a sexy man in uniform and all! A good read, but I wouldn't recommend it or read it again!

A Cowboy's Promise - Marin Thomas

A Cowboy's Promise by Marin Thomas

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I thought this was a great story about real life and love in purest form (with a little bit of seduction to keep things interesting). The hero was handsome, caring, down to earth, and hard working. Best of all, he's not afraid to love. He's just a little scared to take advantage of a newly widowed woman with children. The heroine was very convincing and determined to prove that she could stand on her own to feet to provide for her children and keep her farm. Overall, this is one of my favorites!

Logan - Linda Lael Miller

Logan by Linda Lael Miller

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Descendants of the legendary McKettrick family, the Creeds are renowned in Stillwater Springs, Montana—for raising hell…

After years of wandering, Logan Creed, a cowboy with a dusty law degree, has returned home. To put down roots, to restore his family's neglected ranch…to have kids of his own proudly bearing the Creed name.

Divorced mom Briana Grant has heard the stories about her gorgeous neighbor. So Logan's kindness with her young boys is a welcome surprise, especially when her ex reappears. And when an unknown enemy vandalizes her home, Logan shows Briana—and the folks of Big Sky country—just what he's made of.

(Summary from Goodreads.com)

In this book the words flowed easily and the characters were well rounded and well thought out. I liked the book, overall, but was a little disappointed that the brothers were still estranged in the end. There were also parts in the book that were not believable. Other than that, it was a great book to read. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Shelter Mountian - Robyn Carr

Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


John "Preacher" Middleton is about to close the bar when a young woman and her three-year-old son come in out of the wet October night. A marine who has seen his share of pain, Preacher knows a crisis when he sees one—the woman is covered in bruises. He wants to protect them, and he wants to punish whoever did this to her, but he knows immediately that this inclination to protect is something much more. Paige Lassiter has stirred up emotions in this gentle giant of a man—emotions that he has never allowed himself to feel.

But when Paige's ex-husband turns up in Virgin River, Preacher knows his own future hangs in the balance. And if there's one thing the marines' motto of Semper Fidelis—always faithful—has taught him, it's that some things are worth fighting for.

(Summary from Goodreads.com)

Boy, oh, boy, was this a good book! Carr took a tough guy ex-marine and exposed his heart of gold along with being gentle and caring. That made the hero, Preacher, all the more enticing and sexy to boot! He is one of my favorite characters in this series and Carr did an excellent job conveying the message that true love conquers even the worst of situations! This book is on my favorites list!
