Melinda’s Review:
I purchased this book along with the entire series when I was at
Romfest. I was able to meet Sandy
Sullivan and she signed the entire series for me. I enjoyed this book. At first Abby being able
to see her dead husband an Chases dead wife did freak me out a bit but it made
for a great story. Both Abby and Chase
lose their spouses in terrible accidents and then find each other. They try to fight their attraction neither
one willing to admit they are falling for the other, but can you really fight
fate. I give this book 4.5 star rating.
Abby Carter found the love of
her life, her husband Josh. They had
plans of leaving New York one day to bread horses. However, on September 11th all
that changed. Josh died in the attack on
the twin towers that day. Abby decided
to move to Wyoming and fulfill their dream of breading horses. She happened to buy the property next to
Chase Wilder. Abby woke one morning and
saw her dead husband who told her she needed to love again and he was in
Wyoming and she needed to find him.
Chase Wilder was married to Krista, who died in a car accident. Chase bread quarter horses on his ranch and
was a volunteer for the fire department and a first responder. He was working on his ranch when he heard the
call come in about Abby’s accident. He
was first on the scene. When Abby came
too in the ambulance she saw Chase and standing behind him was Josh.
Chase ends up breaking his leg; well one of his horses broke his
leg. So Abby comes over to take care of
the horses and him. One night they are
on the couch and they begin kissing.
When Abby hears someone screaming she looks over Chase’s shoulder and
sees his dead wife. Krista does not
want anyone taking her place and will do anything to stop it from
happening. She even threatens to kill
Abby.
When Cole, Chase brother, comes for a visit he can see there is
something between Chase and Abby but neither one is willing to admit it so Cole
attempts to play match maker. He tries
to make Chase jealous by showing Abby some extra attention. Abby is also dating one of the Doctors this
drives Chase crazy but not enough to admit he has feelings for Abby.
With all the forces against Abby and Chase can they be together or are
they doomed from the start?
Overview:
Carrie's bitter. Losing her parents and finding out her teenage sister
is pregnant with no father in sight has just about left her without direction.
Running her parent's store dominates her days, until one hunky rodeo cowboy
decides to help out. Will she let Cole become a permanent fixture in her life,
or will his temporary lifestyle become a wall she isn't willing to climb? Can

alley, until he runs smack into one protective Carrie Marsh. When she sticks
her claws into him at the bar accusing him of getting her sister pregnant, he's
fascinated. Her hazel eyes snap fire as she pins him to his seat. Can he tame
the hellcat with the tongue sharper than cheap tequila? Does he want to, or
will the call of the rodeo pull him away?
Melinda’s Review:
I purchased this book along with the entire series when I was at
Romfest where I meet Sandy Sullivan and she signed the entire series for me. This is my favorite book of the series so
far. Cole is my favorite Brother. Carrie is such a strong independent woman. I give this book 5 stars.
Carrie looses both her parents and had to leave college to take care of
her younger sister and run the family store in town. Her seventeen year old sister winds up
pregnant and Carrie mistakenly thinks Cole is the father of the baby. She confronts Cole in the local tavern one
night giving him the third degree about how he needs to step up and take responsibility
for his mistake. Well let’s just say she
stirs all kinds of things up in Cole.
Cole helps Carrie out in the store one day instead of riding in the
rodeo. Carrie has a no Rodeo guys
policy, but decides for this weekend she will break that policy. She decides to have a one night stand with
Cole. They go back to her house one thing leads to another and when her sister,
Jess, gets home she catches Cole and Carrie in bed together. Well all hell broke loose in the Marsh
household. Jess thinks Carrie is a
hypocrite.
After their weekend together Cole left with the Rodeo and for 6 months
never called or contacted Carrie. Cole
shows back up just in time for the arrival of Carries nephew and helps Carrie
through a very hard time in her life.
Then he has to leave for because his mom has a stroke. Only he gets in an accident and is in a
coma. Neither Carrie nor Cole has told
each other how they feel about each other and now will they ever be able to or
will Carrie loose someone else she cares about.
Want to find out you will just have to read the book. I know I know I have to leave you hanging
this was my favorite one and I want you to read it.
Overview:
Katrina Jamieson didn't have time for a man in her life, much less a
cowboy. She's not about to give up her career as a fighter pilot for anything.
Zipping amongst the clouds at 40,000 feet is her dream and being the best pilot
the Force has ever seen encompasses her days. Justin Wilder, cattle rancher and
all around gorgeous hunk, doesn't need the feisty Katrina in the middle of his
world. He does just fine, thank you very much, taking care of his cows and
building his ranch, but he can't seem to forget her after she slams her brand
new, Mustang GT 500 KR into the side of his truck. When their worlds collide,
sparks fly and these two are so hot, skin sizzles when they touch. Can their
attraction stand the test of time or will it burn out faster than the afterburners
of her jet?
Melinda’s Review:
I purchased this book along with the entire series at Romfest this
year. This is the third book in a series
of four books. I read this book first
because I read the overview of the books and being an Air Force Brat and having
a love for anything fast I couldn’t pass it up.
I didn’t realize it wasn’t the first book until I was on page 133. This was a great book and I loved it. I give it a 5 star rating.
Katrina is a Major in the US Air Force.
She is a fighter pilot and drives a Mustang GT 500 KR. Justin Wilder is a cattle rancher. Their worlds collide when Kat runs a red
light and rams her Mustang into Justin’s truck.
They run into each other again when Kat’s cousin who is also Justin’s
partner invites her to a business meeting with Justin. Justin saves her from an ass who thinks she
is a hooker. He takes her to the only place
he can think of his place and they get to know each other A LOT better (if you
know what I mean**wiggles eyes**). Kat
ignores Justin after this so he convinces her cousin, Mark, to invite him to
Kat’s grandmother’s birthday party so he can see her again. I love Kat’s meddlesome grandmother and how
she knows what’s going on before Justin and Kat want to admit to it. Neither Kat nor Justin will admit they want,
need or love each other.
A shocking family secret about Kat comes out that she has to deal
with. She decides to request a transfer
to Iraq instead of admit she loves Justin.
Justin is just as stubborn and won’t admit he is in love with Katrina
either. As we all know there is a risk
going to Iraq will there be a chance for Justin and Katrina to admit their love
and have their HEA or will tragedy strike before they have the chance.
I love women who are stubborn, headstrong and known where they want to
go in life. Katrina did not disappoint
me one bit. She was all of these. I also like it when the men can handle the
women without overpowering them and Justin was the right balance for Katrina
throughout the book.
Overview:

local emergency room, she can't believe her eyes, but her heart knows she never
stopped loving him. Can she let him back into her life for the sake of their
daughter? Wyatt knew he would return to Laramie when he finally finished

their daughter's life. When they come face-to-face again, he can't walk away,
not from Jamie, nor from his daughter. Will they be able to get past the
disappointments and tears to rekindle their love, or will old hurts kill the feelings
that still linger in their hearts?
Melinda’s Review:
I purchased this book along with the entire series when I was at
Romfest were I meet Sandy Sullivan and she singed all the copies for me. I give this book a rating of 5 stars. This was the last book in the series and was
about Jamie the “baby” sister of Justin, Chase, and Cole. Being the “baby” and the only girl you can
imagine how over protective the boys were of their sister. Especial when Jamie got pregnant at the age
of 17 and her boyfriend skipped town when he found out.
Jump ahead 9 years. Sam, Jamie’s
daughter, breaks her arm and ER Dr. is Wyatt. Who Jamie hasn’t seen in 9 years the same
night she told him she was pregnant, that she didn’t love him, and to leave. Jamie and Wyatt decide to tell Sam the truth
about Wyatt when big brother Chase opens his big mouth and does it for them. Sam is on a mission to get them back together.
Jamie and Wyatt decide to try and give
dating a try to see if they can make things work between them. Neither Jamie
nor Wyatt wants to admit that they love the other one. Wyatt is worried about Jamie she keeps
getting headaches and passing out but will not go see the doctor. Will they be able to admit their love and
become a family before it is too late?
I was not able to put this one down after I picked it up. I loved Jamie from the beginning and Wyatt
was awesome. This book did hit close to
home for me and I did cry, but it was a great book.
I read all 4 books in 4 days.
They were all great books and I enjoyed all of them. I enjoyed reading
about all three brothers and Jamie.
Love Sandy's Cowboys!
