The Cowboy's Heart

The third installment in the Three Sisters’ Ranch, I enjoyed this story. It is not necessary to read the previous books to enjoy this one. This story makes up for the problems I had with the second one. Janice is a good, strong character. Nate is good at confusing her. She wants him but he makes her so angry with his hot and cold behavior. There is a good amount of sexual tension between them. This is a good conclusion to the story and there is even some possibility of a spin-off. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Janice and Nate's love story is a slow-burning romance that causes both parties heartache and doubt, mixed with red-hot passion (strictly adults only),set against her family's financial struggles to stay solvent against the mounting cost of ranching and not employing sufficient hands to manage the rough landscape and the dangerous wild hogs who populate the area. An unpredictable path to love unfolds, as there are some health and emotional issues for Nate to overcome. Having to do the work of three men and support Janice's ailing Dad, (who's almost a father to him, especially when compared to his real father) is weakening Nate's own health too, making him prone to mood-swings brought on by exhaustion and unexpected physical injuries as a result. At times Frank Sullivan is a stubborn and unemotional parent, who risks becoming a stranger to Jessica and her two sisters, Kelly and Emily, to the despair of his wife. Yet trying to prove his love for his family and his physically demanding way of life managing the ranch,sometimes causes him to make the wrong decisions. When a rich, single young vet, Dr Pete, comes to help out at the ranch, it seems he could make the perfect husband for Jessie and be the solution for all the ranch's financial woes. How does Jessica feel about Nate and Pete? Would she be better off with rich, nice-but-she-doesn't-love-him Dr Pete Dickerson? Or will Jessica and Nate's panty-melting sexual encounters prove a sound basis for a HEA? Read the Cowboy's Heart to learn the eye-popping truth of a Western love story like nothing you've ever read before - it's a winner...yee-haaa!!

This is my favorite story of this series. A series about three daughters who return home when their father lets them know he will be selling the ranch or it will go bankrupt. The same father that caused them all to leave home because of his actions , stubbornness and harsh treatment. But the sisters are determined to make a go at the ranch, each bringing their talent and expertise. Janice, the oldest, has plans for a retreat for women and while we experience her distress in the start up business , we also meet Nate, the ranch’s foreman . He is the man who has loved her since he arrived at the ranch at a young age. As the relationship develops, it’s kept secret. Her father has other plans for Janice. The story has an engaging plot and complex characters . But it’s more than that. It’s really a story about family dynamics, a demanding father, a man that doesn’t think he’s good enough to be loved, and the struggles of a family business. Can obstacles be overcome, or will the past and a failing ranch keep Janice and Nate from finding their HEA? I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing.
