I was torn on how many stars to give this book. Its probably closer to 3.5 stars. I got it free from Amazon prime. It's a quick fun read but requires an over abundance of suspension of disbelief. I guess it's easy for Trudy (the main character) to do what she does when she has a boat load of mone...
I gave this book 2 stars strictly because it was an attempt at an original characters and the writing was fairly good. However, that is where the good review stops. The main character was an over-weight female finding out her husband is cheating but coincidentally ends up inheriting a house and a...
Ok, so first let me preface this by saying - I don't read too many romance novels. Although, this one caught my eye. It was probably with word "COWBOY" and the red boots Austin is wearing on the front cover. I turned it over to the back to read a little more, and couldn't put it back down. I did ...
Cute, fun story. The ping-pong POV continued to confuse and annoy me, and the conflict was really light, but it's a cute story. I've been past the Smokestack restaurant and kept thinking it was out in the middle of nowhere, and if Thurber has a population of 5, then it is pretty much nowhere. I d...
I enjoyed this modern day cowboy story with its mix of fun characters, romance, danger and suspense. Jane Day is really Ellacyn Jane Hayes, a runaway bride escaping from the conman/hit man fiancé she has learned is planning to kill her after the wedding. She runs into Nellie Luckadeau at the bu...
Woohoo! I was so excited when I received Carolyn Brown's new book to review! I love her writing and her books are awesome! Those cowboys just get me excited.Katy Pearl Richland 'Pearl' is a party girl. But when her aunt passes away and bequeaths everything to Pearl, she doesn't waste much time ...
Quick read, loved the storyline and the characters - all who were strong whether male or female. Always like books that have cowboys in the forefront. Would have been a 5 but too many errors including once stating wedding would be July 8 then later on July 10. Since this wasn't an ARC no reason ...
For me this was kind of silly, but for fans of the romance genre I think it would be decent caliber reading. The book is very well written with a well-constructed story and nicely formulated characters. The book is a pleasant enough read that makes a nice escapist diversion for holiday reading ...
On the plus side, the setting is great, the romance build up was pretty well done and there are lots of cute animals. I liked the main characters, though Creed seemed a little one-dimensional and Sage's insecurity at being tall. She was the more developed of the two characters and I liked her pai...
Oh boy. Much like the heroine of this book inexplicably knows how to remove a voodoo-doll based curse, I wish I could draw a weird circle in some soil and remove this cursed book from my memory.This book was awful. Incredibly, mind-blowingly bad. No one has ever spoken like the characters in this...
Who wouldn't want that sexy cowboy on the cover for Christmas? Hubby might mind, but I don't think I would!! Seriously, I've read and reviewed the whole Honky Tonk series to date, and I've loved every single one of them. Honky Tonk Christmas is no exception!! It's the icing on the already delic...
I loved the playful relationship that Gemma and Trace had. They still stuck together although they both were trying to win in the rodeo. The sex scenes were tasteful just like all the other books Carolyn Brown writes. The book really started picking up for me when baby Holly showed up. I cannot b...
What a way to conclude a series? I wasn't sure how this one was going to go over with me. I love this series, but was a bit disappointed with Gemma's story. (It was a good book, but it fell a ittle flat for me.) I put off reading Dewar's story and am so sorry that I did. To see Dewar & Haley's lo...
I loved this story. It was a warm hearted and amusing HEA romantic story. The heroine Maggie was strong and giving, who knew what she wanted in a man and it was not our hero Dr. Everett Dulanis. He did not see want a shotgun bride who just wanted a man for his dancing abilities and his sense of h...

Steam rose off the ground as the hot sunrays reclaimed what moisture they could before it sunk into the dirt. A fresh, clean scent in the air mixed with excitement over riding a motorcycle for the very first time. Sophie had tucked a T-shirt into a pair of jeans, put on her work cowboy boots, and...
Something horrible had happened, and Fancy’s curiosity was on high alert, but she kept her silence, giving him time to put his thoughts into sentences.“Maria called,” he finally said.“I got that much. Is she dead or something?” Fancy asked. “She wouldn’t be calling if she were dead,” he said. “Yo...
Surely that wasn’t too casual since he’d said she could wear jeans. She pulled her hair up away from her face and clamped it with a big clip, slapped on a minimum of makeup, and hoped that wherever they were going food was involved. Nervousness made her hungry and right th...
No one called it that, but in keeping up with the current trend toward using initials for everything, it was simply the CNC church. She kept her head down and felt condemned for not going to the church where she’d gone her whole life. But the Bible said that under no circumstances was it okay to ...
Maybe it was what soldiers face in near-death experiences when one saves another’s life. But whatever it was, she kind of liked it. He’d been quieter, had a lot less to say or joke about, and now he was back there in the meat department, cleaning the saw like the health in...
She wasn’t in Afghanistan. She was on a ranch in north Texas. But it wouldn’t be real until she was out of the house and could feel the cold against her skin, know that she was for sure on Finn’s ranch, and discern the difference between nightmare and reality. She tiptoed ...
The side aisles were barely wide enough for a vacuum cleaner between pews and wall, so few people used them. The Logan pew on the left side of the church was full that day with Fiona sitting next to the wall and Jud Dawson at the far end, leaving the two married couples between him and Katy, who ...
According to Heather, folks came early to a bake sale so they wouldn’t have to cook breakfast. Heather opened up a leather-bound notebook embossed with gold angel wings, and between customers they wrote down ideas for the ball. Heather, God love her heart, had never lived in a small town before C...
“This is my favorite day of the year. It’s what a ranch is supposed to sound like.” Larissa didn’t hear anything but the bawling of cows, a few yapping hounds, and the clattering engine of a big yellow school bus throwing up dust as it came down the lane. Hank had invited ...
Clara eyed the suitcase beside the dresser in her bedroom. Most days she tried to ignore it, forgetting the lovely dresses folded neatly inside. Choosing not to remember why she'd packed her best that day more than ten years before. Everything as it was when she was ready to elope at nineteen...
Finally, she got tired of the sting and wrapped a bandanna around her forehead and tied it in the back. The public school wasn’t so different than the private one in that they did not turn on the air-conditioning in the summer months. That meant she was setting up her classroom with the windows o...
played on the truck radio. The girls whispered in the backseat about what they might buy at Miranda Lambert’s Pink Pistol store. Mason kept time with the music on the steering wheel with his thumbs. Crossing the bridge over the Red River, Annie Rose could see the big “Welc...
Since only four or five people had breakfast at the big house on Wild Horse, each person made their own and sat around the old oak table that had been in the family since before the feud started. Tension was so thick that a sharp machete couldn’t have cut through it, but Betsy wasn’t saying a wor...
At noon the ceiling was painted, the walls were finished, and she was working her way around the floor doing the woodwork. The door into the bedroom and the one that hung on the closet had been removed and were resting on sawhorses in the third bedroom. Now that some of the Sheetrock had been cle...
She made a pan of quick cinnamon rolls from sweet biscuit dough that morning since she only had to cook for two. They were almost ready to take out of the oven when a blast of winter wind blew Lucas in the back door. “Better bundle up good before we go this morning… wow! Y...
“My, OH, MY, DON’T the world look brighter this day. Does Hilda know? How about Slim?” “I don’t think so, and don’t you dare tell them,” Milli suddenly had a vision of all the people standing in a line she’d have to deal with and it made her weary just thinking about it. H...
"I did." She patted the chair beside hers. "Good. Now let's you and me and Momma sit down to the table and plan this year's party. We've already called in a band to play the dance and we use the same caterer every year. Barbecued everything that don't move, along with beans, cole slaw, corn...
Sophie hated good-byes, so Travis promised her that they would grill hot dogs and hamburgers that evening out in the backyard. And when she asked for a movie under the stars, he said they could set up the television on a couple of sawhorses on the back porch. But when Hannah made her way to the k...
