Harrison Ranch and Macgregor's Mail Order Bride

I enjoyed reading these two books because they were easy to read and enjoy. I liked the setting and the characters were interesting. If you want light hearted easy to read books then do read them

I loved these stories and the interconnections between the different characters, which despite many, I never felt it was confusing. On the contrary, I felt curious to know their stories.

A lovely moment of leisure.

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.

These were decent enough reads. The plots were fairly basic and straightforward. The characters were decent enough. They were ok.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

This is a 2 book compilation that I enjoyed reading although I did enjoy the first more than the second. Harrison ranch is a sweet story about a young single woman who leaves the city to become a cook on a horse ranch out West. Although sweet, this also has some surprisingly steamy scenes. I liked the characters, I liked the physical descriptions of everything but felt the story could use a more aggressive editing. One character’s name kept flipping from Ben to Ken. Editing should have caught the word “taught” for “taut”. I also felt that there were inconsistencies in Callie’s knowledge and lack thereof regarding the intimacies of marriage. I liked following Seth’s emotional growth but felt there was no transition between his questioning of what is love and then he was in love.
The second book was only ok for me. There were 2 romances going on but I found it difficult to follow whose voice was speaking. There seemed to be some scenes that didn’t seem believable for the time period. And while Mavis was noble with her convictions, I felt she was too dogmatic.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Easy read. I don't know I just felt like it was lacking. The author repeats herself over and over that the main character has a limp, we get it! The main character thinks that everyone is treating her different because of it and yes we get it also that she is a woman and she makes is clear through out the story that she can do anything a man can do. I felt like there just was not a lot of story telling other then her cooking and serving and cooking and serving. I know what the plot is about but I would like to have had more story that involved other parts of the ranch, town etc.
