Series: Rocky Mountain Cowboys #1

Contemporary romance with suspense

For review

My thoughts:

This is a start to a new series, but Steve was mentioned in the previous ones since he is a firefighter. But he left that town and went back to his family's ranch with his 4 kids. And let the new series begin.

Steve was a great guy. A good dad. And yes a cowboy, and you know that is my weakness in romance.

His love interest is Camille. The local hermit who never interacts with people if not necessary. She is an artist and she is absolutely adorkable! I adored her. She was awkward, but funny. Shy, but talked too much. She was perfect and I liked how Steve looked past all that and saw her. Awww omg the feels guys, the feeeeeels!

So obviously these two were adorable together. I loved how they interacted and tried to flirt and it made me lol so much. He was perfect for her, and she was perfect for his whole family.

There is a bit of suspense, but not that much to be honest. It is more at the end. There are fires, and if you want to know why and be spoiled then read the spoiler. But I warn you, it is a real spoiler cos I have to discuss some things. Trust me, do not read it!

<spoiler>What? I did not see that coming! And wtf he almost killed his niece even if he did not mean too. He was totes creepy watching Camille and almost killed her too. If he is out in 3 months then what says he wont do it again?! Please do not let him be a hero!</spoiler>

But the suspense part was so good, it gave me chills and I can not tell you why, but yes creepy.

It was a great book. I loved seeing them together (how many times have I said that now?). His family were adorable too! And omg, if his brother Joe gets a book, that might just give me the feels too!

The feeeels!

Conclusion:

Do listen to it

Narrator Vanessa Daniels

She was great with range, voices and she did a great job. I have nothing bad to say at all.

Blurb:

When firefighter and single dad Steve Springfield moved his four kids to a Colorado Christmas tree ranch, he intended for it to be a safe haven. But he never expected danger to follow them to his childhood home...

Or that he would come face-to-face with the one girl he could never forget.

Folk artist Camille Brandt lives a quiet life. As the town's resident eccentric, she's used to being lonely--until Steve freaking Springfield changes everything. Brave and kind, he's always had a piece of her heart, and it doesn't take long before she's in danger of falling for him and his rambunctious kids. But as mysterious fires break out across the sleepy Colorado town, Steve and Camille will have to fight if they want their happy family to survive until Christmas... 

Audio: Home with you - Shirlee McCoy

The Bradshaw brothers never dreamed they'd return to their hometown. But tragedy has brought them back together in Benevolence, Washington, where they're finding generosity, surprising revelations-and unexpected love . . . Sullivan Bradshaw is in way over his head. A car crash killed his brother, Matthias, and critically injured his sister-in-law. It's Sullivan's turn to care for the couple's six children and the ancestral farm, but the die-hard bachelor and art professor is hardly family-man material. What he needs is the perfect nanny-miracle worker-saint. What he gets is pretty Rumer Truehart, a free spirit who will change everything he ever thought he wanted . . . Rumer learned the hard way that nothing is for sure, much less forever. And she certainly understands why Sullivan's unhappy childhood makes him a strictly no-commitments kind of guy. But she can't help being drawn to this thoughtful, gentle man. And when trouble strikes, she's determined to win his trust-and show him love can be a promise for keeps.

The Bradshaws #1
Contemporary romance /Romantic fiction
For review

My thoughts:

I wonder what I should file this under? Sure there is romance, but not a lot. It is more something between romantic fiction and contemporary romance. So I shall call it contemporary romance drama.

Sullivan has to take care of his brother's 6 kids when his brother dies and the wife is in a coma. And the kids are obviously distraught and they have their own baggage too. Like the oldest who has been in too many foster homes. Or their adoptive daughter who thinks she has to be calm and strong for everyone. I loved those kids. I know some do not want to read books with kids in them, but this book needed the kids. 

As for Sullivan, he is a good man. A bit overwhelmed though.

To help comes Rumer. She was sweet, sensible and so good for them all. Though I must say, yes yes, I know you studied and know kids, but even if she said it the nicest way possible, I would have taken offense at times. Sully does not, but still not everything can be solved with her ways, even if they are solved here. Oh and I wanted to smack her over the head cos she had this idea about how her family is "cursed" to only fall for bad men, omg girl! Are you listening to yourself!?

Friends and slowly falling in love, but not acting on it. They both have their things to work through, and with 6 kids around to do not get a lot of alone time.

And the small town is so nice. Hey, everyone is nice in this one. A good family oriented romance.
