I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

---------------------------------------------------

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

He’s too busy raising his daughter to be looking for love but it seems fate had other ideas. When Luke Steele started his shift as a paramedic this morning, he never thought he’d end up finding the woman who’d steal his heart.

All it took was some tears and a shared bowl of ice cream and Luke knew his life would never be the same. He vowed never to go there again but Charlotte Rowe isn’t just any woman. She’s a smart, beautiful, hard-working doctor who’s shattered after losing a patient.

Teaming up with his six-year-old daughter, Isla, Luke’s determined to give love a second chance and mend Charlotte’s broken heart.

**

She’s sworn off men. Walking in on her fiance’s side piece wearing her dream wedding dress turned Charlotte Rowe’s heart to ice… except when she’s focused on becoming the best pediatric oncologist Chicago’s ever seen.

Overcome at the loss of one of her patients, Charlotte falls apart only for a sexy, kind, EMT to find her and take her for ice cream – because ice cream makes it all better.

But when two damaged hearts collide, how can they stay away? Will the driven doctor give his daughter the mom she’s always dreamt of, or will the harsh realities of life keep them apart?

Protected is a standalone single parent, second chance, ugly cry book. 1-Click today to find out if Luke and Charlotte’s love story is strong enough to beat the odds!

---------------------------------------------------

Omg so good. So many emotions!  Luke sees  Charlotte  and  knew he wanted to get to know her. Charlotte just got out of a relationship and she thought she would work on herself, but meeting Luke would she allow love in?

BLURB: 

Sawyer Munroe is a charismatic ex professional bull rider and the heart of Magnolia Ranch. Ever the life of the party, he knows how to have a good time and live in the present, never one to dwell on tomorrow’s problems.

When Ruth, a Hollywood socialite with a love for nurturing horses back to health, is hired to help him care for Magnolia’s neglected animals, the two strike up a fast friendship. Little do they know what lies ahead…

Without much to distract the pair after hours, and with sparks simmering under the surface, Ruth and Sawyer agree to a no-strings relationship. After all, what’s the harm in a little off-duty fun?

As casual turns into something much deeper, neither can bring themselves to admit what’s happening. Sawyer believes Ruth is too good for him. She’s a glamorous Hollywood princess who leads a very different life. How could they ever make it work?

When Ruth’s father shows up on the ranch, pushing her back toward California and her roots, she faces an impossible choice: return home to her only family or stay at Magnolia Ranch and risk everything for the one man who could truly break her heart.

Can Sawyer and Ruth open their hearts to each other before it's too late, or will they keep running from the one thing neither of them knew they needed?

Ride Me Cowboy: Magnolia Ranch Cowboys is the final book in the Magnolia Ranch series.

This is book #3 in the Magnolia Ranch Cowboys series.  It’s great to be back on the Magnolia Ranch. Ruth is from California and wanted to find herself outside of her dad’s world. Sawyer is a cowboy, who isn’t looking for anything, but fun. Their chemistry is combustible.  They push each other to their best.

I loved this series a lot.

Book Review: Too Late Cowboy by Rebecca Barber

             For this review, I have chosen to read and review Too Late Cowboy by Rebecca Barber.

I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

---------------------------------------------------

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:

When Nash Pearson finds himself at the altar about to be married to a wonderful woman, what could go wrong? Exactly one he realizes the woman he’s marrying is not the woman he sees a “forever” with.

The moment he realizes he’s in love with someone else, he immediately calls off the wedding, unwilling to hurt the woman in front of him more than he already has, but knowing he needs to do the right thing.

Taylor Asher is finally in a good place. Her son, Cooper, is the light of her life, and her longtime boyfriend, Brad, is about to propose. She never expected to marry a man like Brad, especially not after co-parenting with her best friend and father of her child, Nash. The two men are unbelievably different, and she can’t help but think about all the what-ifs still surrounding her friendship with Nash…

She just needs to remember that not all dreams become reality.

When Taylor finds out Nash has called off his wedding, her hesitation about Brad intensifies. She’ll never act on her feelings for Nash because she’s given Brad her word. She’s marrying him—old, lingering feelings for the father of her child be damned.

As Nash and Taylor dance around their feelings and try to do what’s best for each other while ignoring what’s best for themselves, their son continues to bring them closer…until they are forced to face the truth that’s always been in front of they belong together.

In the ultimate friends-to-lovers story, with themes of hidden feelings, love, and tempting fate, will Nash and Taylor realize that sometimes, the best love stories are the ones you least expect? Or will they continue to ignore the everlasting love between them?

Too Late Magnolia Ranch Cowboys is book two in a planned three-book series. 1-Click today to continue reading about the characters you already love!

---------------------------------------------------

This is book #2 in the Magnolia Ranch Cowboys series.  Swoon worthy!! Taylor and  Nash share a son. Both of them are stubborn as that bull!!! Will they realize that they want each other and stop being afraid of the what ifs.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

BLURB: 

Jake Samuels thought fleeing Magnolia Ranch would mean leaving behind the painful memories that haunt him. But even thousands of miles away, he could never get his first love off his mind—and he certainly never forgot the weight of the familial expectations he was meant to carry. When tragedy strikes and he must return to the ranch, he realizes he’s walking straight back into the life he was so determined to run from … and from the old wounds that never quite healed.

Kellie Knight never expected to see Jake again—especially not after he left her in the dust all those years ago. Just as the two start to find their stride again, Jake discovers a secret that could ruin all the progress they’ve made because Kellie’s daughter, Cassie, is more connected to him than he could’ve ever imagined.

Determined to win back the heart of his old flame, Jake vows to rebuild the life they almost had together. He’s ready for his second chance, but Kellie has had her heart shattered before—and by him, of all people. And this time, it’s not just her heart in the line.

In the ultimate love story, with themes of love, regret, and family ties, can Jake and Kellie overcome their past and get their fairytale ending at Magnolia Ranch? Or will the ghosts of their pasts separate them for good?

The whole town is drunk on eggnog…

There are snowflake decorations and twinkling lights hanging from every tree branch…

Shops stink like gingerbread, and everyone seems….

Disgustingly festive.

It must be Christmas.

And to that, I say… bah-humbug.

I’m immune to this whole Christmas cheer thing that’s going around. People expect me to put up a tree and listen to carolers parading around the neighborhood? No, thank you!

Just when I thought I’d successfully avoided another holiday season, Holly Douglas and her daughter Noelle come tumbling into my life. What’s worse than two cheery, festive females? The fact that they’re taking over my entire apartment and filling it with that dreadful Christmas cheer.

Before I can even say “ho, ho, NO,” there’s cookies in my oven, a tree by the window, and mistletoe hanging from the doorway.

As a blizzard bares down on Evergreen Lake, something even more surprising is happening right under my own roof. Their infectious holiday spirit is starting to get under this Grinch’s skin. Without warning, I’m celebrating the holidays and agreeing to things I never thought I’d do.

Now all I have to do is figure out is how to keep Holly and Noelle once the storm passes…

And that might take more than a little mistletoe magic.
