    Marry Me, Cowboy by Willow White

    Marry Me, Cowboy book cover

    “Uh … a pregnant woman in a wedding dress just drove her truck into the side of our barn.”

    Minutes before walking down the aisle, Olivia realizes that she can’t marry a man she doesn’t love. With nowhere to go, she drives and drives until she crashes into a barn, waking Wyatt Honeywood from a sound sleep. With the rain plastering Olivia’s gown to her body, Wyatt can tell right away that she’s pregnant—but she isn’t. Olivia is determined to have a fresh start at life, and West Hope seems as good a place as any, especially with the handsome Wyatt around, but Wyatt is doing his best to ignore his simmering feelings for Olivia as he tries to reunite her with the nonexistent baby’s father. If Wyatt doesn’t confess his feelings soon, Olivia is going to ride off into the sunset. And the weirder Wyatt acts, the more Olivia is tempted to do just that—no matter how handsome and charming he is.

    Moose Be Love by Jacqueline Winters

    Moose Be Love book cover

    A fun cast of characters, a quirky small town Alaskan setting, the town’s favorite moose, and a swoony-romance with all the feels.

    When I travel to the small town of Sunset Ridge for the reading of my great aunt’s will, I have no idea that my sisters and I are about to inherit a lodge. Or that my rugged Alaskan neighbor is the caretaker I’ll be spending all my time with. Falling for Ford Harris would be unwise. I’m supposed to get the lodge listed for sale and leave. Not to mention that he hasn’t dated anyone since his wife died four years ago. The little sister he’s super protective over let it slip that he swore off ever falling in love again. But he’s cooking me dinner, showing me around town, and saving me from getting trampled by the town’s favorite moose. Don’t even get me started on the way my brain short circuits when I catch him shirtless and towel-drying his hair. The truth is? I’m falling hard, and I wish I didn’t have to leave.
    A 5-star review of the novel:

    “Very nice first book in a series. The characters are small town folks who make you wish you could be their neighbors. No violence and no malicious schemes — just day-to-day life and just what I needed in this often unpleasant world. Looking forward to reading more of this series.”

    Rise Up to Love by Jill Haymaker

    Rise Up to Love book cover

    What if the past catches up with you just when you’re starting a new life?

    Lorelei Grant, recently widowed, can’t believe that her best friend Charlotte wants to leave their hometown in Kansas and move to Aspen Ridge, a tiny, mountain town in Colorado and buy a gift shop. Is she crazy? Despite her hesitation, Charlotte wears her down, and they make the move. Remington Hunt has always been a loner, content to live out his life in the mountains with his dog, Grizwold. That is until two ladies buy the gift shop next to his own gun shop. There’s just something about the redhead that has him reconsidering his hermit lifestyle. Just when these two unlikely people start to put aside their differences and develop romantic feelings for each other, a past that Lorelei isn’t proud of catches up with her. People she’d put behind her from over thirty years ago, suddenly become real and threaten everything she’s started to build. Can Lori overcome past mistakes and find a way to not only love, but also forgiveness? Sometimes the person who is the hardest to forgive is yourself.
    The author on writing seasoned romances:

    As a reader I have been discouraged by the lack of good romance novels about people older than 20 or 30. I wanted to show that even people on their 60’s can be romantic and have a great love story to tell.

    The author on how she develops her characters:

    “As for developing characters, when I first started writing I tended to draw quite a bit from people I knew. Now, though, I let the characters blossom as I write. Each character is so unique and different, but I usually start by thinking about their personalities and go from there.”

    A five star review of the novel:

    “I love Joy and her integrity and her love of family including Caden. Tanner was more difficult to love. But he did grow on me as I grew to know him better. He was so good with Caden. Caden was the star of the show. I enjoyed seeing him learn and change. The Cowboy’s Reunited Christmas is a well written story that pulled me in and made me root for a happy ending.”
