Jesse By C.H Admirand

July 9, 2012 1 Grade A+ ,

I’ve loved Jesse from book one of the series, Jesse is the youngest Garahan with a fantastic sense of humor. But after years of trying Jesse doesn’t believe in love anymore well at least for himself. There was one woman he thought he loved but he was wrong, She’d left him not once but twice for the same man. If that wasn’t a kick in the pants he didn’t know what was.
Heading to town one day he spots a car on the side of the road with a woman about to take the radiator cap off of a hot engine, Just about the stupidest thing she could have done. So what was a man to do? Of course There was only one thing he could do, Flip his truck around and stop her. What he doesn’t expect is his dormant beaten heart to feel something for this woman.
Danielle was on her way back to pleasant, Texas after finilzing her devorice from her bull riding ex-husband. When she was young she would often visit her uncle, Now she was moving in with him. Danielle, Like Jesse wasn’t looking for love, In fact she’d be happy if she never set her eyes on another cowboy again. Much to her surprise she’s knocked for a loop meeting Jesse for the first time. Danielle is not coming back to Texas alone she has her little cotton candy pink cowgirl 3 daughter Lacy, Who takes to “Cowboy Jesse” right off. With a bit of help from his brother’s ladies and a few towns folks Jesse and Danielle bot come to the realization that they are right for one and other. With little Lacy tugging heart strings they become just what they wanted a family.
Just the perfect new addition to the Circle G.
In this book C.H introduces the Garahan cousins. So although this book finishes up this series I’m hoping to hear more about the lawmen and Firemen that make up part of this family.
P.s you’ll never look at a porch swing the same again.

Sunday Snippet

May 19, 2012 0 Snippet Sunday , ,

Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when Jessica Ward “accidentally” bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and shows him just how far she’s come since high school. Back then, Jess’s gangly limbs and bruised heart turn to jelly any time Smitty’s “all the better to ravish you with” body came near her. So, some things haven’t changed. Except now Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a romp-or twenty-with a big, bad wolf and walk away. Easy.

The sexy, polished CEO who hires Smitty’s security firm might be a million miles from the loveable geek he knew, but her kiss, her touch, is every bit as hot as he imagined. Jess was never the kind to ask for help, and she doesn’t want it now, not even with someone targeting her Pack. But Smitty’s not going to turn tail and run. Not before proving that their sheet-scorching animal lust is only the start of something even wilder…
