Harrison Ranch and Macgregor's Mail Order Bride Susan Payne

  Description:

Harrison Ranch -
Callie St. Michaels, an orphan from New York, felt her only hope for the future was to leave her sous chef position in St Louis. Finding a job as cook for a group of ranch hands in Sweetwater, Kansas, seemed both prophetic and serendipitous. Everyone is happy with the outcome except for one man – Seth Harrison, the owner of the ranch and Callie's employer. 
Seth isn't sure why, but he feels uncomfortable around the young woman his attorney hired as the ranch hands' cook. She hasn't said anything improper, or is unable to do the work required, or is off-putting in any manner. In fact, she is well liked by all the other employees. So why does he get so unsettled around her?


Macgregor Brother's Mail Order Bride - 
Mac, the oldest of the Macgregor family finds himself in need of a wife. His younger brothers have graduated university and at thirty-three he feels it time to marry and raise his own children on his ranch outside Sweetwater, Kansas. Answering the ad from a mail-order-bride, he is prepared for anything the young widow brings to the table.
Mavis Miller is frightened of the large man meant to be her husband. Her friend, Emily Johnston, tries to help the couple find a balance. Although Mavis tries to meet the man half-way, she can't get over feeling their relationship is doomed. Especially when stronger desires pull her in another direction leaving Emily to tell Mac there won't be a wedding. 
His response? "Somebody owes me a wife!"

My thoughts on the book:

There is two separate stories in this book.

The first one was ok. I loved Sully and Jamie they both had the biggest hearts and would do just about anything for anyone. I like Callie she was fierce and took chance and was super independent. I was not a fan of Seth he came off like a jerk and arrogant and he didn’t seem to truly care for Callie he just didn’t want anyone else to have her. 

In book two I felt like there was too much going on and in the beginning and it was hard to figure out who was the person talking and who was what. This story was very predictable. You do follow four people, you have Jamie, Mac, Mavis and Emily. I did like Emily she was a pretty strong headed person and would do anything for those she loved and cared for. I felt like with Mac he was more of a "caveman" type guy and I seem to roll my eyes with him then anything. Jamie was fun but immature. Over all both stories were ok. Both stories did have sexual content in them so it may not be suitable for all readers. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
