Nice Book

This is nice book to listen to however I think the ending was a little rushed and unfinished. Enjoyable when traveling but short.

This story is real not fairytale

Jack Garrett did a great job. LLM you really understand about “real life and hardships with people and their four pawed companions” we all need someone or a four paw pal. I’m used to fairytale books. A good story line to get me away from my own life of hardship. Like the old commercial “Calgon take me away” LLM - you opened my eyes to see a perspective of why seeing the true picture (not fairytale) can be more enlightening to listen to too. Love the rescue pets too. Winston the kitty was Awesome! You get wrapped up in their stories too. Thanks for a great story!!!

This cowboy is not my weakness.

I guess I am truly not a romance fan or I didn't read the description well enough to realise what I'd be getting into because I found this achingly slow, drawn-out and a pretty darned silly - though I llike horses and cowboys which is probably why I tried it. This is my first book by this author. I am only giving it three stars because I feel it might have more merit for people who know what to expect and obviously the series has a lot of fans so maybe I'm just too jaundiced. I think I would have prefered a female reader too with all this internal anguishing and heart palpitations, the male reader drawls it out in laconic cowboy style and I kept finding myself rolling my eyes wondering how he could say all this stuff with a straight face. I agree with the reader who said the heroine might have moved on after 7 years - the heartbreak being that she slept with the man for a week (a whole week, mind) all these years ago in which she (or both of them) were convinced they'd discovered true love only for things to go amiss. Call me a cynic but no matter how much amazing sex they had in those memorable seven days, it's hard to think of it as more than a fling, let alone feel for her burning lasting grudge at being 'abandoned' and cruelly wronged. But it appears that quick tumble pretty much stopped her life until he came back to town. Like lots of romance novels things between them could be cleared up in about five minutes if he'd only tell her his reason for taking off but that would make it too easy and he's a tongue-tied, love-struck cowboy with lots of arrogant male pride (but a soft vulnerable center.). So whenever they run the risk of having an honest conversation, one of them takes offence and flounces off in a snit. I hope things pick up in the second half because this is seriously soppy, a lot of wistful sighing and if only's and yes, she does join an internet dating service which is just as well because that's about all that happens in the first half and I'm hoping for at least one or two plot twists if I'm to make it to the end of this book. I haven't read any of the others in the series so I can only assume that Connor and Tricia had an equally tortuous relationship but for those who care you'll be happy to know they are sickeningly in love and having sex about every five minutes even though she's nine months pregnant and large as a house.

Secrets and rumors

Great book. Two brothers one hurting with secrets and who felt be betrayed. Each hurting. Two good women help when the secrets came out.

Great family story

Loved the narrator . The story was lengthy but well worth it. I love the Creed's.
