The Untold Story of Carol Bingley Jane Hartley

   

   Description:

Carol Bingley has a certain reputation in Marietta, Montana. She’s an infamous gossip and overly generous with her sharp opinions. But Carol’s been hiding a painful secret.

Forty years ago, sixteen-year-old high school student Carol Franklyn was madly in love with a bad boy cowboy with an irresistible smile, and sexy swagger. The day he asked her to meet him at the local hangout, the Main Street Diner, Carol thought all her dreams had come true. What she didn’t know was that she had become a pawn in a cruel and manipulative game that would spin her life painfully off course.

Now happily married to a man who loves her unconditionally, Carol finally is ready to share her painful past, but will she be believed? And can she be forgiven when she faces two of Marietta’s most powerful, tight-knit families?

Carol has lost so much. But this Christmas, she hopes she can find two puzzle pieces of her past, and sets out on a journey hoping she will finally be healed, not once again hurt.

My Review:

This book was amazing I truly could not put this book down. This book was so emotional, so powerful and very gut wrenching, but it was a story that needed to be told. If you have read any books in Marietta for any amount of time you have read about Carol and this is her story and after reading I am glad it was told, I didn't even know that it need to be told but it really did. Frank was amazing and has the biggest heart and such and amazing character that you walk away feeling like a better person for sure. Carol had this mask that she had on for so long to hide the pain for so many years of loss, and betrayal. I feel like the author grabs you by the heart and makes each character in the book so relatable. She also make if feel like you are right there in the middle of the story. I am tying to keep this on the vague because I feel like I could go on and on but then I feel like I would ruin the book for you. So I will say this grab you box of tissues and grab this book you will not be disappointed. This book is worth every bit.

Promise Me Please Cowboy CJ Carmichael

 

    Description:

Marietta has a way of bringing people together…

Cowboy Chet Hardwick is in Marietta, Montana, to compete in the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo. Chet’s not there to make any waves, he needs to focus on the rodeo, avoid his deadbeat father, and return home. But when the beautiful owner at his bed-and-breakfast needs assistance, Chet can’t resist stepping in to help.

After a life-altering accident, Amy Arden left her Wall Street job and impulsively bought Bramble House B&B. While she learns the ropes, she’s also determined to uncover a secret from her late mother’s past—Amy’s birth father. The staff aren’t happy with Amy’s new ideas and quit, leaving Amy struggling to keep the fully booked inn operating. She finds an unexpected ally in one of her guests, a handsome, lone wolf cowboy, who is surprisingly easy to talk to. But just as their friendship heats up, ghosts from both their pasts arrive at Bramble House.

Amy knows Chet is the man she wants, but as Chet receives news that will take him far from Marietta, will he find his way back to her?

My Review:

Hands down this was my favorite book of this series, now don't get me wrong they are all good and I love how in each book just like this one it makes you feel like you are right there watching it all play out. I really loved Amy she was this strong Independent women who faced a lot but was whiling to take a risk to have what she wanted most. She was so relatable and very misunderstood character as well. I loved Chet he was this cowboy who kept people at a safe distance for a reason but also would drop anything and help anyone he has this big heart but you had to break the walls down to see it. I really enjoyed how they just seemed to work well together like they have knowing each other forever. Overall this book was worth the read and well worth it. The author also kept the story a clean read which makes it suitable for all. I can't wait to see what more adventures this author takes us on in Marietta.

Marry Me Please, Cowboy Sinclair Jayne

   

Description:

She has her eye on the prize. He has his eyes on her.

Former soldier, now rodeo cowboy, Huck Jones doesn’t believe in love or marriage. Still, a promise is a promise, and he’s prepared to honor his fallen team leader’s wish to walk his sister down the aisle in Marietta, Montana. When the groom bolts moments before the ceremony, Huck offers himself as her alternative groom.

Barrel racer Willow McBride hates the cowboy code, and the soldier code is even more annoying. She’s pregnant, not helpless, so when her late brother’s sexy friend offers himself as a sacrificial husband, the answer is a resounding no. She wants love not duty. Plus, the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo is looking to be her last as a competitor, and she intends to win.

Huck may no longer be a soldier, but he still believes no man—or woman—should be left behind. He’ll need to woo the beautiful, stubbornly independent cowgirl and change her mind. Failure is never an option.

My Review:

Y'all I really liked this book. I feel like whenever I read something from this author she will have you all up in your feelings and the was the case with this book for sure. She has away of tackling tough topics respectfully and bringing awareness to it at the same time. I really liked Huck he had a big heart and faced a lot in private but looked out for those he loved for sure. He was a true definition of a cowboy. Willow was feisty while she shouldered a lot she also didn't take a lot from anyone. I loved reading about Willow's mom and aunt and Huck's dad and catching up with everyone from Marietta. I love this small town I feel like this author make you feel like you are right there in the middle of the story. Overall this is such a fun read and well worth it. There is sexual content in this book so it may not be suitable for all.

Wildflower Fall Denise Hunter

 

Description:

He’s here to train her horses, and then he’s moving on. She’s keeping her true identity a secret. But their spark complicates both of their plans.

When her mother’s death leaves Charlotte Simpson bereft, she hopes the Robinson clan will accept her as one of their own and help fill the void. But a startling discovery dashes her hopes and leaves her wondering if she will ever know the father she’s always longed for.

Horse trainer Gunner Dawson has experienced profound loss and intends to avoid it. So he lives on the move without forming close bonds or putting down roots. When Charlotte hires him to work with her horses and help expand her ranch, he commits to staying for a few months. But he doesn’t count on getting caught up in Charlotte’s search for her biological father. Or on falling in love—with Riverbend Gap or with Charlotte. This time, he’s not sure if he’ll be able to move on—or if he even wants to.

The queen of heartwarming, small-town love stories returns to Riverbend Gap with a deeply satisfying tale of love’s healing power.

My Review:

This is one of those stories that is completely relatable, whether with the main characters or one of the sub characters but either way I felt like someone will connect with one or all. I loved Jeff what and amazing man, he didn't have a lot to say but when he spoke everyone listened because it was something you needed to hear. I felt with Charlotte and even a little bit with Emerson they had away of taking what life dealt and putting a positive spin on it. They Bothe faced so much and yet they worked hard to leave their town in a better place. I felt so much for Gunner he loved so deeply and lost so much that the way the story played out was not a surprise but so emotional. Overall I really enjoyed this book with some tough subject that were talked about the author did an amazing job of balancing laughter in there as well. The author did keep this a clean read so it would be suitable for all.

Tempt Me Please Cowboy Megan Crane

  

 Description:

Five years ago, when Sydney Campbell came through Marietta on her way to the big Grey family Christmas, she ran into newcomer Jackson Flint in Grey’s Saloon. Directly into him.

In Montana to build some bridges with his older, billionaire half-brothers, Jackson didn’t plan to stay. Sydney was just visiting family from her high-stakes life in D.C. For one night they lit each other on fire, kissed goodbye, and never thought they’d see the other again.

But Jackson built more than bridges and put down roots. And just about every holiday, he’s watched Sydney turn up in town. The fire that always blazes between them gets hotter every visit, but this time is different. This fall, Sydney decides to stay a while. With the 85th Copper Mountain Rodeo taking Marietta by storm, Jackson knows this is the chance he’s been waiting for.

And he means to take it—if he can convince the only woman he’s ever wanted that there’s more freedom in loving him than letting go.

My Review:

At the beginning I was kind of iffy I felt like the book dragged, but hang in there the story does pick up and gets good. I really liked Jackson he faced a lot in his life but he had no bitterness, he was just this down to earth cowboy who took the lemons that life handed him and made some fresh lemonade with the. He was one of those characters who felt very relatable. Sydney really grew on my she had her walls high and in the beginning it really was hard to make sense of it all she was the exact opposite of Jackson. I did feel like when it was revealed what she faced it was so heartbreaking the story just made more sense in the moment. She did not let that stop her though she took life by the horns and held nothing back when it come to a head. She stands strong and stands for what she feels is "right". Overall I really did enjoy this book I felt like its such a great addition to the town of Marietta. Sex is indicated but not described so may not be suitable for all readers.

Take Me Please Cowboy Jane Porter

 

   Description:

Two worlds. One love. No compromise.

Professional rodeo cowboy Rye Calhoun has been the primary breadwinner for his family since he was seventeen. Now thirty, there’s still no time for romance, and there certainly isn’t room for beautiful Texan Ansley Campbell, an artist with big dreams…dreams that don’t align with his.

When Ansley Campbell’s ailing uncle needs someone to help him at Cold Canyon Ranch in Paradise Valley, Ansley volunteers, eager for some breathing space from her family of overbearing men. But when her uncle Clyde has an accident the weekend of the Copper Mountain Rodeo, handsome cowboy Rye Calhoun is there to help.

From the moment Rye and Ansley meet, their chemistry sizzles, but their worlds are nothing alike and neither of them is in a position to compromise. Is love really enough, or are they asking to have their hearts broken?

My Review:

I loved this story and I can't wait for more from this group in fact in the end the author leaves a little note and I was super excited to read what she has in the works!! I feel like the big champions in this story were the Wyatt's they were hands down my favorite and so glad to catch up with them. I liked Ansley she was independent and fought to get there it was no cake walk for her that's for sure. There is something that happens between her and her brothers and I feel like as the only girl of all boys I could relate to the moment so I was laughing so hard. I liked Rye however he did have to grow on me a little. In the beginning he just seemed so beat down. However his sisters, and mom did not hold anything back when he need to be pulled and pushed they were right there, the family dynamics were just amazing. He has and amazing heart and only wants what's best for those he loves. I truly felt like I could not get enough of this story. I so wanted more. I liked how the author kept the story clean and suitable for all readers.

The Cowboy's Lost Family Roxanne Snopek

 

   Description:

He’s looking for the one thing she’s done with: family.

Brade Oliver arrives in Grand, Montana, looking for blood—and answers. Genetic tests reveal that his biological family may reside in the small, western town, and he’s on a mission to finally discover the one thing his adoptive family couldn’t give him: the truth.

Kendall McKinley craves a normal life, free of the demands, drama, and constraints of her dysfunctional family. Despite being focused on building her career and working on a restoration project, Kendall can’t help herself from noticing a handsome stranger the first night he arrives. But when Brade starts asking uncomfortable questions around town, Kendall is determined to protect her community and friends. The harder she tries to steer Brade away from the answers he seeks, the more he pushes back…and the more irresistible he becomes.

Brade is determined to uncover the truth no matter what, and Kendall finds herself torn between keeping the secrets of people she cares for and finding answers for the man she loves.

My Review:

I will start with what I liked and end with kind of a hint about the story it self so be aware may contain spoilers. 

I really liked the original of the story now a days it seems like so many books are starting to read the same and the author took this story with a twist which was refreshing. I really liked Brade he knew what he wanted and didn't mix words, he set out to find who he was and let nothing or no one stand in his way. I liked Kendall but she was wishy washy one sec she was all in for a potential relationship and the next she had no idea what she wanted in life. Kendall was a very strong character and truly in the end was a fun read..... Now here is where I spoil a little I feel like the story started off with Braces story and ended with more questions about his situation and leaves you wondering what happens next. While also telling you Kendall's story and leaves you knowing what happens. I know this is the beginning to a series so I really hope there is more with Brade and Dianna and hope their story is not over with just this book.
