Ranch Life Surprise

By: Misty Malone

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Ranch Life is Great, you met Cade Collins and Elsie Wintock, who were engaged to be married. Elsie was living in the small town of Sherman, Wyoming, with her parents and her Aunt Gertrude. When her parents were tragically killed, Cade suggested they move their wedding date up. She agreed and he moved both ladies onto his ranch, where he raises top quality horses. Then they set about helping Sheriff Daniel Fitch find the person or persons who killed her parents – and why.
In Mail Order Surprise, you met Austin Barrington, who owned a ranch outside of Laramie, Wyoming, and Georgia Langly, who traveled to Laramie from Boston to become Austin's mail order bride. They were neither one quite what the other expected, but after a rough start to their marriage, they stopped trying to hide who they really were and realized they were perfect for each other.
When a man on their ranch was shot, they got him back to their house to nurse him back to health. Sheriff Grant Montgomery got word of where the man who shot him might be, and Georgia and Austin both joined his posse to bring the culprit in.
Now, in Ranch Life Surprise, Cade and Elsie are summoned to Laramie by a lawyer. They're told they have inherited some horses, which have already been shipped to Laramie. The lawyer finds a local rancher, Austin Barrington, who is willing to keep the horses for them until they can claim them. Cade and Elsie go to Austin and Georgia's ranch, where the four of them develop an instant friendship.
The men, who respect each other and the equestrian work they do, begin trading horses, which involves the couples making the occasional four-hour trip between their ranches. When bad things start happening during the trips, and later on both ranches, Sheriffs Montgomery and Fitch again get involved. The men still have their hands full with their headstrong ladies, and don't hesitate to take their wives over their knees when they feel the need.
