Can the rodeo cowgirl…  

Win his love? 

Professional roper Maggie Orr needs to secure a national sponsorship. And orthopedic surgeon Grant Sloan could derail her plans. Falling for the cowboy doctor is a distraction she can’t afford… Plus their careers are taking them in opposite directions. But from picnics to stargazing, Grant is reminding Maggie that there’s more to life than winning in the arena. Can they rewrite their dreams to include each other? 

EXCERPT

She flung her arm sideways. “Go mingle. Go talk to people. I think most of Three Springs is here.”

Grant frowned. “I don’t like small talk.”

“Everyone likes small talk,” Maggie argued. It was easy and simple. Required none of the hard stuff like career decisions or sharing feelings. Or any of the other uncomfortable stuff where hearts were on the line.

“Chitchat was never really my thing,” Grant shook his head as if discarding the idea of mingling. “I prefer conversations that have a direction. A purpose.”

Exasperating man. Maggie was beginning to think that was his goal—exasperating her. She lifted her gaze to the ceiling. “Grant.”

“Maggie.” He extended her name into two long, drawn-out syllables.

Yet, it was the invitation in his tone that pulled her attention back to him.

He leaned in and whispered, “Did you know that you’re really cute when you’re flustered?”

Maggie jumped back.

One corner of his mouth tipped up. His gaze was clear, affection-filled, and fixed on Maggie. “And I bet you’re not nervous now.”

She was a different kind of nervous now. The foolishly giddy kind that set her stomach on tumble. And made her want to take a risk. That involved hearts, heads, and heels. But that was a fall she might not recover from. “I’m not going to thank you.”

 MY REVIEW:

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

 A heartwarming tale filled with love, loyalty, and finding inner peace where and when you least expect it . . .

Maggie Orr is a professional cowgirl who teams with her older sister, Kelsey, in team roping events. Grant Sloan is a highly-respected orthopedic surgeon who was raised on a ranch in Three Springs, Texas. He also happens to be the brother of Maggie's best friend, Ryan Sloan.

The two are brought together when Maggie accompanies Kelsey to a medical appointment where she consults with Dr. Sloan for a severe shoulder injury. He's substituting for the regular rodeo doctor, Dr. Toro, who is away handling a family emergency. The sisters are skeptical about the young doctor's abilities and are initially put off by his stoic manner.

Maggie and Grant's personalities are as different as fire and ice, oil and vinegar, or apples and oranges. And that's exactly what makes their romance so lively and enjoyable to observe! Maggie is spirited, outgoing, and willing to do anything to help someone. Grant is reserved, guarded, and hesitant to really jump into life and have fun.

As the story progresses, the author reveals more about the family life and the past of the Orr sisters and the Sloan brothers. The couple has some major obstacles to overcome, but with patience and hard work they eventually discover that they are made for each other.

The author has created a realistic situation involving two very likeable characters and in the process shows readers her top-notch writing skills. Fans of this genre will enjoy the gentle humor, wide assortment of characters, and personal challenges included in this plot. I can summarize my feelings about this book in three simple words—I loved it!

This book is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of this book from the author through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.

About the Book

 

Dedicated to the One I Love

Title:   Dedicated to the One I Love

Release Date:

Genre:
   Contemporary Romance

She doesn’t believe in love anymore. He doesn’t either.  

They’re perfect for each other. 

Beloved romance novelist Kylie Franklin walked away from her pen-name career as bestselling and award-winning Veronica Hollins the day her husband died. Her loyal readers are eager for the final book in her sensational series. But Kylie’s given up on love, both fictional and in real life. Behind her back, Kylie’s agent contrives a way to get her writing again. 

Joe Edwards has made a name for himself with his popular military suspense novels under the pen name Tate Merrick. Yet he can’t quite break onto the bestseller list. What his books need, his publisher suggests, is some romance. Joe flat refuses. However, his publisher is determined and hires Veronica Hollins to save the day—and his career. 

Veronica and Tate quickly realize they’re Kylie and Joe, good friends who connected online via a popular word game and their mutual love of trivia. Surely they can wrangle their alter egos into this literary collaboration. But as the deadline looms, their differences threaten the romance developing off the page.  

From a Christy Award-winning author comes this charming mash-up of hidden identities, literary tug of war, and falling in love when you least expect it.

EXCERPT:

              Despite what some people thought—specifically her mother, her best friends, and her agent—Kylie was fine. Just because her cat Remington kept her on schedule didn’t mean he ran her life—what was left of it.

Remington leaned his furry body up against her legs as Kylie sat at the kitchen counter, his purr a soft vibration of comfort.

“Come on, Rem.” Kylie abandoned her tepid cup of Irish Breakfast tea, tucked her phone in the side pocket of her leggings, scooped the cat into her arms, and headed for her office.

She paused in the hallway before entering through the open door. Her favorite books were color-coordinated on the built-in white shelves—writing books and fiction of every genre. Copies of her novels, in order of publication. Awards and favorite photographs with her agent, editor, and other author friends hung on the walls that were painted a lush periwinkle—her favorite color—thanks to her husband.

Her laptop sat in the center of her desk. Nothing else. No open books, pages of notes, no bowl of salted popcorn with a glass of cold ginger ale, no ice—nothing that hinted at the creative mess caused when she was in pursuit of “The End” for a story.

Kylie released Remington, who strolled away without a backward glance, and sat behind her desk. Opened her laptop. Closed her eyes as it powered up. Offered a silent prayer for inspiration. Waited . . . waited . . .

No spark. Nothing.

The firefighter rescued her once…  

But can they outrun the dangers? 

A peaceful vacation is what Haley Gordon needs to put her troubles behind her. Instead, she finds herself fighting for her life against a raging forest fire. Forest Service firefighter Kendall Simpson vows to protect Haley—although he has questions about her story. But with the firestorm out of control and news of escaped convicts on the mountain, can Haley and Kendall trust each other enough to survive? 

EXCERPT:

A suspicious roar like a speeding train alerted Kendall to the approaching danger. Every muscle in his body tensed. The wind grew stronger, confirming his assessment. He spun and glanced back. A fire tornado. Haley squeezed his hand, and he tightened his grip on hers.

            “What’s that?” She pointed behind them.

            “Trouble. Big trouble.” He tugged her behind him and started running, almost dragging her. “A fire whirl. It’s like a small tornado filled with fire. Come on. We’re on its direct path.”

            The whites of her eyes grew larger. They bolted for cover and hunkered down behind another large boulder with tall grass and scattered pine needles around its base. Not a good choice, but it would have to do for now.

            God, if You’re there, protect us.

            He pulled her close and wrapped his arms tight around her. Could he protect her from the flying, burning debris? She scrunched down and covered her face with her hands. He buried his face in her hair as it tossed with the wind and slapped against his cheeks. They’d die if they didn’t get to the lowest place possible. He searched the area. The heat’s intensity was too much, and he had no intention of dying today. Where could they go? The fire was about to consume them.
