Romancing the Rancher by Kate Pearce

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




Romancing the Rancher is a bittersweet goodbye to an irresistible series. Pearce treads a fine line between haunting and heartwarming. Evan and Josie lure readers in by the heartstrings and hold onto to them with a complex blend of intrigue and inspiration. From painful reveals to a determination of spirit, The Millers of Morgan Valley are one contradiction after the another. Larger than life and all heart should be their battle cry.

Esme and Rick's marriage may be headed toward divorce unless he grows up. Esme talks to Rick about Domestic Discipline and they decide to try it. Rick is unable to spank Esme so they go to The Trainer to learn. At first Esme is not sure spanking is all it's cracked up to be but with the second lesson she is finding it more arousing. Then Rick goofs up and Esme is ready to walk away but she talks with The Trainer and some changes are made.

I liked Esme and The Trainer. Rick--not so much. I have to admit to wanting Esme to walk away from Rick and go with The Trainer. He was hot! I liked his lessons and his patience. Esme had to learn a new way to relate to Rick and I am glad she turned to The Trainer. He was able to teach without being judgmental. I'd like him in my life.

I look forward to reading more of Kate Richards.

Brek and Taylor were engaged but she left him at the altar to guide a Thrill Seeker trip. He is now engaged to a quiet sedate woman which is what brings Taylor home. When they meet again Brek tries to show how little she means to him. He learns a lot of things--especially that she is still important to him.

Also Taylor's sister Eve who runs the Thrill Seekers office finds romance with Brek's teammate Sloan. He thinks he'll teach her but she teaches him what is means to truly love. When it looks like he might lose her he goes big.

I enjoyed this book. I liked Brek and Taylor. I loved Eve and watching her get the better of Sloan. The other secondary characters are also good. I'd like to see read of their stories especially Kasen (I hope he has one.)

Foreplayer by Kate Meader

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The greatest gift that any author can give fans is a strong sense of self. With Foreplayer, Meader creates a heroine that bucks convention to find comfort living in her own skin. Mia is at her best when she lets her heart fly free and her spirit shine through. Love is about more than giving your heart, it's about trusting yourself to make the right choice despite the heartache it takes to get you there.
