Carefree Caleb Sloan is just a distraction—even if he is surprisingly helpful.

Though will that be enough for by-the-book Lacey…to let this fun-loving cowboy prove he’s ready for an instant family?

MY REVIEW

I love reading Three Springs Texas books by this author! I especially have enjoyed getting to know the Sloan family. Each book can be read as a stand alone story.

Lacey is returning home to her small town in order to reconnect with her daughter after leaving the military. She hasn’t had alot of experience being a mom and struggles to connect and parent her daughter. I love reading how animals can help people heal and grow relationships-in this case horses!

Lacey has known Caleb most of her life but reconnecting with him was not something she had in mind. But when he offers to help her daughter get ready for the local rodeo in exchange for a date, she finds herself agreeing.

This was a sweet clean romance about second chances, love and family! Highly recommend this story or any story from Three Springs Texas!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

And he doesn’t know the boys are his. But as he steps into this new role he never planned for, Brady gets a hopeful glimpse into a life with children.

MY REVIEW

I love reading love inspired books because of the clean romance, interesting characters and engaging story lines.

I liked getting to know Kirsten and her twin boys with her dreams of becoming a nurse and struggles as a single mom. When she returns home she has to deal with telling the boys father the truth-the man who broke her heart years ago when he said he didn’t want a family and kids.

This sweet story is about love, faith, family and second chances. Life can be scary and not turn out as we planned, but with faith and trust in God; anything is possible! This sweet romance was the perfect summer read!

My Review

I have read many books by this author and my favorite are her stories that involve dogs! This was a fast pace, riveting romantic suspense story with likeable characters and working k9.

Garrett and his k9 companion are in charge of protecting Catherine and her sister against an escaped killer. Lots of twists and turns along the way will keep you engaged and not ready for this story to end.

I really enjoyed reading it and highly recommend this easy to read, clean Love Inspired Suspense book!

More from Dana

After dreaming up Wally, the supremely naughty bloodhound, in book one of the Security Hounds series, I didn’t think the next fictional dog could possibly compete in the personality department. Surprise! Pinkerton, the stalwart bloodhound companion to Garrett Wolfe, scrambled onto the scene and into my heart. His faithful dedication and selflessness make up for the streams of slobber he leaves everywhere. He’s also instrumental in solving the latest case complete with twists, turns, and an ending you won’t see coming. (I hope!)

Enjoy this next installment in the series and look out for more bloodhounds in the next three books!
