This was a great read! I haven't read Sheri Whitefeather's books in a while, and I was reminded as soon as I picked this up how much I adore her work. Don't let the cheesy title fool you. This was a heartfelt and at times sexy romance. I liked learning more about Indigenous/Cherokee culture. Also, the MMC is a one-legged amputee, which is not something you see often enough, especially in romance. I could keep gushing about this book, but I'll just say that it was nice to get lost in a Proper romance. A lot of what I've read this year is more on the erotic side. This novel made me emotional, and I can't recommend this enough.

Julianne had gone to the ranch with her 2 cousins to celebrate her 40th birthday. Two years after her husband of 20 years left her for a 20-something secretary, Julianne has yet to move on. She is feeling old, unattractive and unloved. When she arrived at the ranch, she sees Bobby Elk, all gorgeous and virile and she promptly trips and spills her suitcase. He stoops to help and she catches sight of a wedding ring - all she can see before her is another cheating male. When she discovers soon after that he is a widower, she apologizes and allows herself the possibility of sparks igniting between them. What she doesnt expect is the aftermath of her weeklong jaunt to Texas.
Another of Ms Whitefeather's books of Cherokee men with a troubled past. I like the infusion of customs that she includes in the stories. So far I have enjoyed every one of them

Harlequin Mills and Boon novels are usually a product of their genre - hot passion, stereotyped storylines, characters who change their minds at a sidelong glance from another character - however, this plot is an interesting one. Having a disabled main character is a new vision and makes for a sensitive love story which is rather charming.
I enjoyed this novel and hope to read more of Ms Whitefeather's books.

I loved this book. Bobby struggle a lot with the death of his wife and then struggle with moving on becoming a father and partner to Julianne. i loved the mixing of Julianne ancestry of Irish and Bobby mix of Cherokee. I really like Michael with his mischievous character and his dog Chester relationship with Bobby.Great family story with lovely HEA.

A contemporary romance starring a Native American dude and an Irish-American lady; I appreciated the fact that it began with the heroine glaring down her oncoming fortieth birthday post-nasty divorce, and was both pleased and surprised that the hero is an amputee... and works a job totally unrelated to said amputation. For a long time any romance where the hero had a disability meant that the hero was going to be working in a field defined by his disability (amputee? he runs a company making prosthetics! in a wheelchair? he plays wheelchair rugby!) and while recent authors have been doing a better job (e.g. Anna Richland or Jennifer Lohmann), whenever I see the author's note about her research into amputations I preemptively cringe. So I was pleased to see that here and handled well - we see how it affects the hero's day-to-day life, e.g. he - a cowboy who runs a dude ranch - mounts his horse from the wrong side, but it doesn't seem to be most of his life.
That said, the writing is pretty clunky and a lot of the Cherokee aspects feel kind of shoehorned in. When the heroine - surprise! - gets pregnant, she immediately shows up to tell the hero about it and is immediately in love with her unborn child, never mind that she's forty years old with a history of infertility and should probably see a high-risk OB/GYN, like, yesterday. The woman is literally five weeks pregnant. They won't even do an ultrasound at that point. I get it, I get it, it's a Harlequin secret baby novel, nobody wants infertility in the middle of those and the heroine's not actually going to have a miscarriage, but the fact that this is her background and the risk of pregnancy loss isn't even mentioned was a step too far in the "unbelievable" direction for me. Similarly, the hero thinks that "some Cherokee" believe that the soul doesn't enter the baby until birth but HE believes that it happens at the moment of conception, which, uh, good for you, dude, here's hoping that your seed (which is a word that is used in this book, BTW) had the right number of chromosomes and your one-night-stand isn't going to have an incredibly common first trimester miscarriage of a non-viable embryo. I get it - the author's trying to create a setup where dude begins to get attached to his unborn child - but it's objectively clunky and, less objectively, annoying.
