THE RANCHER’S FIRST LOVE by BRENDA MINTON:

Remington Jenkins is back in Martin’s Crossing, and has his eye on Samantha Martin. He may be able to preach a good sermon on Sunday morning, but convincing Sam she should give them a second chance is proving to be a challenge.

Sam Martin is shocked to see the handsome cowboy she fell in love with nearly a decade ago, walk into the hospital she works at. Rem seems to be a changed man, but can she ever trust the man with her heart again?

I have written many reviews for books by BRENDA MINTON. For THE RANCHER’S FIRST LOVE I will write a list of pros and cons.

PROS:

Amazing writing.

Three dimensional characters that you will fall in love with.

A great storyline. Love how MS MINTON handled it.

Unique and amazing lines that will have you in awe.

A beginning that will grab your attention.

An ending that will leave you satisfied - aside from not wanting it to end.

CONS:

Zero

That pretty much sums up THE RANCHER’S FIRST LOVE. 

Can’t wait for the next.

WITH THIS RING?: A NOVELLA
COLLECTION OF PROPOSALS GONE AWRY

The Husband Maneuver by KAREN WITEMEYER

THE HUSBAND MANEUVER by KAREN WITEMEYER is the
reason I wanted to read, WITH THIS RING?: A NOVELLA COLLECTION OF PROPOSALS
GONE AWRY. I have enjoyed every single book MS WITEMEYER has written. Well,
that isn’t entirely true. I didn’t “enjoy” every one…I LOVED every one, and THE
HUSBAND MANEUVER was no expedition.

The Hawkins foreman, Daniel Barrett is ready to
leave his job on the ranch to start his own business. It’s for his own good, in
more ways than one. He’d never have a chance with Marietta as long as he
continues to work for her father.

When Marietta Hawkins discovers Daniel Barrett - aka
Dead-Eye Dan - intends to leave her father’s ranch for his own place, the
wheels in her brain start to spinning. No way is she going to risk losing the
man she loves.

I remembered Dead-Eye Dan and Marietta from MS
WITEMEYER’S previous book. It was fun to see the characters come to life with a
story of their own. I loved the scene at the watering hole. MS WITEMEYER is a
master at creating unique, loveable, and three-dimensional characters. Her
plots are always thought out and captivating.

in the midst of a stranger, and pretending to be married. Though Katie might
find it difficult to keep up the charade, Josiah finds himself not bother by
the situation.

Runaway Bride by MARY CONNEALY

I must say, I love when a hero comes to the rescue
of the heroine, and that is exactly what happens in RUNAWAY BRIDE by MARY
CONNEALY.

Big John Conroy is hired to help Carrie Halsey escape from a dangerous man intent on making her his wife. A promise he intends to keep. What he didn’t
expect is to make another promise to the woman he is falling for.
