Roping Love
Carrie Stewart is a dedicated horsewoman. She runs a successful breeding and training program. She is a good friend, a good sister and a favorite aunt, but she has been burned by love. Carrie has never gotten over her first love, roper Chance Ryan. When Carrie takes her ten year old nephew, Tyler, to the All American Quarter Horse Congress, fate pushes Chance back into her life.
Chance ran away from her ten years ago, when his father’s unexpected death made him responsible for his ranch and family at the tender age of twenty. Now he says he is back to stay. Should she risk her heart again, with the man who left it broken at her feet in the past? Chance is going after her and she will be his. Like a calf in a shoot, he is going to rope her with his love and ride back into her life.
Chasing Love
In celebration of her thirtieth birthday, Samantha Cross goes out in search of a one night stand. She finds more than she was looking for. A sexy cowboy who rocks her world. But, when he turns out to be her new neighbor, and seven years younger than her, Samantha is terrified that her reputation and new business will both be ruined. How could she be so stupid?
Chase Ryan was looking for the one. He found her and then she disappeared into the night. When fate brings him to her door, with his mother on his arm and holding an apple pie, the fun begins.
Samantha may run, but he is Chasing Love.
Fetching LoveAs a fourteen year old, Megan Malone thought Chad Ryan hung the moon, but the boy of her dreams was already a man. Chad left town for seven years. Now he’s back. He’s the new veterinarian in town and he’s working for her dad, in the Animal clinic that she manages. Never mate a dog from your own kennel, so the saying goes, but…
Chad Ryan is a dog. The skinny little girl who used to trail after him like a lost puppy, is now a beautiful woman. He has no business even noticing. On the heels of a failed relationship, and the beginning of his career, there is no time for love in his life.
A matchmaking mom and dad, a boisterous yellow lab and fate have different plans. When it’s dropped in their path, no dog can resist Fetching Love.
Each of the three parts (all inclusive in this book) features one of the three brothers with cross over of characters between parts. Carrie had been away from the horse show business for over 10 years but with the urging of her nephew she finds herself attending the horse show and auction hoping to not run into the one who broke her heart. She does end up meeting up with said heart breaker “Chance Ryan” he is taller and sexier than she remembers and she finds she still has feeling for him but does not want to have her heart broken again. The second part of this trilogy follows Chase Ryan as he takes over the family ranch when he brother moves away. The ranch next door sells and when he meets the new owner Samantha Cross sparks fly from the beginning but Samantha has some hang ups regarding the age difference between them and the insecurity she feels when around younger prettier women. This insecurity creates numerous misunderstandings and second guessing of the relationship. The third book of ths trilogy is about Chad the youngest brother who went off to college leaving “little Megs” Megan Malone behind. She has had a crush on him forever following him when ever he is around. While Chad has been away at college Megan has grown into a very beautiful woman she now works in her father’s veterinary clinic as a receptionist. Chad returns from college with a degree in Veterinary Medicine with plans to work for Megan’s dad. With the two of them working so close together on a daily basis old feelings are re-ignited and Megan wonders if Chad has every had any feelings for her in the past or even now. This trilogy was so good I loved the characters and the way the story flowed from one brother’s story to the next brothers. Tamara Hoffa writing style has a way of grabbing you and not letting go so you find yourself reading and reading until the end.
