A good but sometimes sad story, of learning to live for now not the past. .




#6 Chase And Seduction.
Hot Country book #1
By Randi Alexander.
★★★★☆
This is the start of a series,

Being around him during filming has been a test for her self control.  She is wildly attracted to him, but he has a love em and leave em reputation.  Reno is not interested in a fling. 
Chase is used to the women falling at his feet, but since he first met Reno she is the one he wants. The problem is they are such different types, is it just opposites attracted. 
A story of miscommunication and selfless love. A vunerable hero who only seems to be full of confidence.  A heroine who has allowed the men in her life to manipulate her.

★★★★☆

A good journey of our characters self discovery. The needed to find themselves before they could find love.



#8 .The Harder They Fall.
By Beth Williamson.
★★★★☆
T.J. is a woman working hard in a man's world. She has plenty of confidence in her work, but none about herself.  At nearly six foot tall, with bright red hair and curves she is just too much for the normal cowboys.

A hot steamy romance with a wonderful hero and a strong independent heroine.

★★★★☆

She picked a dude ranch with Cowboy strippers. A girl only gets to be 21 once.  The men on the ranch hold no interest for Crystal, she likes REAL cowboys. 
Ford answers his neighbor's urgent text, only to find his sister there for her birthday.  He is very protective knows he must allow her to grow up. The city women who come to party are not the type to interest him. 

A fun sexy read, with the promise of more to come. A real macho hero and ultra feminine heroine.




#10  Badass. Hell Yeah!. 
By Sable Hunter.
★★★★☆
Avery is the sweet and innocent daughter of a vicar. She has fancied Issac for a long time, but he says she is not the sort of girl for him. Avery is determined to change that. 
Isaac is a typical vassals. A Cowboy, biker, bar owner and a Dom.  As much as the delicious little preacher's daughter appeals to him he can not bring her down to his level. 
This book is funny as well as sexy. The things Avery does to be the type of woman Issac could love can't help but make you laugh. For a Dom Issac is not very confident in his own worth. 
This is part of a series, while you can read it as a stand alone it would be better to read in order so as not to spoil the others that you willwant to read.



#11 Cowboys Never Fold.
By Lexi Post. 
★★★★☆
Kendra and her band of social misfits are working hard to get her Naturalist resort open for business.  They have been getting more than their fair share of teething troubles. Too many things are going wrong for it to be coinsidence . 
Wade has been sent to be the new stable manager for the resort. His friend Dale runs a recruitment business and can't understand why the three previous men he has sent to Kendra have not lasted in the job. 
The nearer it gets to opening time the more trouble they get. Both Kendra and Wade are hiding something,  will everything be revealed in the end? 
A fun read that had me giggling as I pictured what ways happening.  Our hero is seriously sexy. Our heroine fiercely independent and brave,  with a heart of solid gold. 
Poker Flats could make an interesting series,  the secondary characters are good enough for their own stories.



#12 Cupid's Cowboy 
A Cowboy Way Novella. 
By Becky McGraw. 
★★★★☆

Jase is a hard working Cowboy. He is struggling for money and is helping his father cope with his mother's illness.  One of his side jobs is as singing telegram , this Valentine greeting is one he really doesn't want to do. He would love to make a living from his songs but can't seems to catch a break. 
Leigh has been working for her father, but has screwed up big time. The waste of space Singer she has been babysitting is putting of signing the contract. She has spent a lot of her father's money with no results,  that is going to cost her her job and what little relationship she has with her father. 
This doesn't go quite as you will expect.  Our hero has a lot to deal with and has been knocked back too many times. Our heroine has major trust issues, and no idea what family should be. 
A sexy and often emotional story.
