Petticoat Ranch
Sophie Edwards’ life is one long struggle for survival, and, more importantly, the survival of her four daughters. She wants to avenge her husband’s murder, but she has no idea how to do it. And as if she hasn't got enough to do, now a wounded man is disrupting her family’s lonely life.
Clay McClellen left an idyllic, all-male world in the mountains. But, after plunging headfirst over a cliff, Clay finds himself at the mercy of a widow and her four girls.
A suspenseful romantic comedy about a mountain man trapped in a pretty, sweet smelling, confusing all-girl world. (quoted by Mary Connealy)
My thoughts: I truly enjoyed this story and I was super excited to learn about each of the characters in this story as I knew that the trilogy Sophie’s daughters would go more in depth about each of the eldest daughters later on.
A slightly slow start and a bit confusing for the first chapters as you learn about Sophie’s previous husband Clint and the man that they save, Clay. But quickly you learn the difference and become attached to each and everyone of the characters.
Calico Canyon
Let yourself be swept away by this fast-paced romance, featuring Grace Calhoun, an instructor of reading, writing, and arithmetic, who, in an attempt to escape the clutches of a relentless pursuer, runs smack dab into even more trouble with the 6R's - widower Daniel Reeves, along with his five rowdy sons. When a marriage is forced upon this hapless pair - two people who couldn't dislike each other more - an avalanche isn't the only potential danger lurking amid the shadows of Calico Canyon. Will they make it out alive? Or end up killing each other in the process? (quoted by Mary Connealy)
My thoughts: Another tough start as you fear for Grace knowing that she is running from someone who intends to hurt her. But once she arrives at Daniel Reeves ranch you have hope that she will be safe and that they will learn to love one another. Through many tough situations do they learn to love one another?
A good read and another recommended book.
Gingham Mountain
A rancher runs head-on into the new school marm, who believes he's made slave labor out of eight orphaned children.
Grant Cooper crowds too many orphans into his rickety house, just like Hannah Cartwright's cruel father. Grant's family of orphans have been mistreated too many times by judgmental school teachers. Now the new schoolmarm is the same except she's so pretty and she isn't really bad to his children, it's Grant she can't stand. (quoted by Mary Connealy)
My thoughts: I was slightly disappointed to find out that this third book was going to be about Hannah and not a 3rd set of characters in Mosqueros, Texas. I had a hunch this was going to be the case when she was introduced in book 2.
I did really start feeling for Hannah and the other characters in the book. I can always tell a good book when I believe I am a character in the story and this was a story like that. I recommend this book as well.
