I would love to read love stories about all the other characters.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Another great story in this series. One of the things I love about these books is that they make me smile a lot, some things that the characters do are too cute. The storylines are unusual, in that when couples are not couples, there is always somebody else in the picture, but they are not really antagonists. Derrick is a sweetheart, though he doesn't admit to it. Gretchen is strong and stubborn. I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This could have been a great book, but it fell short because neither character was strong enough to actually fight for what they wanted. Pepper should have at least tried to get Tank to talk about what happened. And Tank should have not avoided and put off Pepper or played with her. Neither Pepper nor Tank had my sympathy. It was well written despite the storyline.

Channing thinks that the only relationship they have is in bed, and she needs more. A breakup, a tv show crew, a rodeo circuit and and a pretend engagement equal a whole new whirlwind courtship.

The timeline and details were atrocious. If Aaron and Charlee are twins, where was he when her mom took her and Matt? And where did Lucas live? In his and Aarons house or elsewhere? And Ashlin is Emma sometimes. If you can get past the confusion, it's a great story.
