Jordan

Buckhorn Brothers #4

by Lori Foster

Jordan Sommerville, healer of helpless animals, rescuer of strays, a man who could seduce a woman with his voice alone. Yet he didn't use that power often. His brothers kidded that he was holding out for a paragon of virtue...and not many in Buckhorn qualified. But then he met Georgia, and broke all his own rules.

Georgia Barnes supported herself and her kids as a dancer--an exotic dancer. If Jordan Sommerville didn't like it, he could take a hike. So what if he was the most caring, gentle, desirable man she'd ever known--he was still a man like all the rest.

Surely he couldn't be as perfect as he looked...or could he?

Another great reread!!! Moving on to Casey's book!

[Big Joe Rossi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jordan Sommerville for me was hard to like. Judgmental and rude at the same time lusting for that which he was disgusted by. He goes to a bar the next town over that has been causing drunks to drive through his town causing issues. There he sees Georgia, he is unable to look away, and when things he deems as wrong happen he tries to defend her and instead cause havoc.

Georgia Barnes loves to dance, just not this kind of dancing, but as a single mother she will do anything to take care of her ailing mother and her two kids. While the annoying butt-in-ski is sexy she has no time for his judgement and type.

After the melee that starts the book, things happen that force her to let him help her and her family. This is when he will grow on you. She was a strong independent character. I loved she would do anything to support those she loved.

A good read, 3.5-stars.

Synopsis: Jordan, the most quiet Hudson brother, meets a lady he can't deny in the middle of a loud raucous bar room burlesque. Georgia, the divorced mother of two children, is struggling to make ends meet any way she can--even if it means dancing for town drunks. When Jordan comes to the bar to talk to the owner about controlling his patrons and limiting the beer they're allowed to drink, he gets caught up in Georgia's hectic world. Will Jordan convince Georgia that he is nothing like the other men she's known? Will Georgia find the home and family she has always longed for?

The Good: The premise promises lots of laughs: a shy, blushing veterinarian that keeps himself on a short leash meets a spunky, exotic danger. It just seems so unlikely. So different. But Georgia is different than I imagined.c Despite her job as a dancer, Georgia is shy and certainly not a sexual goddess. She is, in fact, rather normal: working to pay the bills, struggling to do the dishes, relying on her mother to babysit. This works. It really works.

In a slew of paranormal romances, mystery romances, etc., where couples are being chased by creatures and criminals, it was enjoyable to move from that into a simple contemporary tale.

Years ago, I read a funny and smart essay by David Sedaris about how he and his lover Hugh went to see The End of the Affair. Sedaris chides his lover for crying at the sentimentalized tragedy and condemns Hollywood and fiction for giving us all an unreal sense of true love and romance. He says that no one tells stories about real love: "for good reason: our lives are boring. The courtship had its moments, but [then it] becomes the Predictable Part-II no one in his right mind would ever pay to see. "'Look, they're opening the electric bill!)

That said, Foster manages to make worrying about an electric bill as important and vital as it is in real life. In other words, she manages to make a love story about what love is really about: partnership, finding that person that you want to walk beside you for the rest of your life.

The Bad: Foster's immediate love-and-lust storytelling rests on a paradigm that I am not comfortable with. After reading a few books in this particular brother series, I am starting to see a pattern in which soul mates and mates aren't far apart, where The One is recognizable by the fact that seeing him or her induces uncontrollable animal lust. Adjectives like savage, primitive, and animal abound whenever the couples near each other.

In some ways, I welcome this candor about desire, this awareness that--when it comes to sex--man and woman aren't all that different. But, each time, its the woman who runs from sex. And each time, heat is the equivalent of being in heat. I would like to see it happen differently in this series at least one time. Fingers crossed as I eagerly move on to read Casey's story.

The Ugly: The Cover. Oh, the cover...

We’ve all been there. We’re wandering through a bookstore, or maybe  aimlessly searching suggestions, looking at  random lists on Amazon.com for something to read. Happily, we traipse through booktopias convinced that we’re going to find something wonderful to read and then… We are greeted with this:

Before I begin, I feel I must point out one very simple fact:

Most authors get absolutely no input in their covers, or, if they do, it’s mostly a kind of courtesy. Publishers rule. Authors weep and hope for reprints.

Challenge accepted. Unleashing Mockery… NEW and OLD covers!!!

So.We're given the choice between Naked Man whose-existential-angst-in-the-dark-void-has-left-him-anxious-enough-to-wear-a- whole-in-his-pants-with-his-elbow and a man who clearly loves his pet too much. Oh. The. Horror. Only in a world of cloudy blue skies and green grass and licking puppies and gooberish fellows would naked-nipple man make a good cover.

Can you hear me crying?

Forgive the cover artists, for they know not what they do.

Good book about the last of the four brothers to find love. Jordan has always felt a little different than his (half)brothers. His father was no prize, and Jordan has spent his life consciously ensuring that he's nothing like his old man. He doesn't drink, lie, or lead women on. Even as a kid, he was sensitive to animals, so it's no surprise he became a vet. He's active in the community, and that volunteerism is what got him where he is as the book opens. With several other townspeople, he arrives at a seedy bar just over the county line to ask the bar owner to limit the number of drinks he serves to people. Their town has had trouble with the drunks causing problems and damage there. But Jordan is distracted from his mission when a dancer appears on the stage.

I admit that I thought Jordan was extremely judgmental when he saw the dancer, making assumptions about her character and virtue. That didn't stop him from being attracted to her and envisioning what he'd like to do with her. Despite his attitude, he intervened when he saw her being accosted by a drunk customer after her dance. This started a brawl that ended with the police being called. With Jordan and the dancer from Buckhorn, their police chief was called to take custody of them. While waiting for the chief, who is Jordan's older brother, Jordan continues his judgey attitude in comments to her. It doesn't go over well.

Georgia is beyond angry with Jordan. She copes with the customers all the time without any problems. Thanks to Jordan, this night was a disaster. I loved seeing her blast him for his judgmental statements and set him straight about his interference. Georgia is a single mother who waitresses and dances to support her children and mother. She is fiercely independent and refuses to rely on anyone else. The home she bought is a fixer-upper, and the process is slow. She doesn't need to deal with Jordan's attitude, too. Complicating matters is her intense attraction for him, thanks to his gorgeous looks and sexy voice.

I laughed out loud at Jordan's teasing from his brother Morgan when he arrived to take custody of the two miscreants. It was fun to see Morgan's opinion of the sparks between Jordan and Georgia and Jordan's outright denial. Morgan and Jordan won points with me when they helped Georgia deal with the crisis waiting for her when she got home. In the process, Jordan realized he'd been a complete jerk and tried to make things up to her. There were sweet and fun scenes at the hospital as Georgia's kids took to Jordan and Morgan, and Jordan's nephew Casey also became part of the mix. Jordan's gentler nature comes out in his unexpected need to take care of her, which freaks him out more than a little.

I loved watching Georgia get absorbed into the entire family's lives, as everyone found a way to help her. Georgia is overwhelmed by the kindness and attention and doesn't know what to make of it. She isn't used to that sort of thing. The more time she spends with Jordan, the harder it becomes to resist him. At the same time, Jordan discovers that while his attraction is still just as strong, he also finds himself wanting more. His growing feelings are frequently expressed in bouts of overprotectiveness which rub Georgia the wrong way and become a huge distraction. It takes time and his brothers pointing out the obvious for Jordan to realize the truth of his feelings, but he isn't sure of Georgia's feelings. A conversation with her mother helps Georgia face the truth of her feelings. There's no dark moment that pushes them apart, only the satisfaction of seeing them confess those feelings and look to the future together. The epilogue was a nice wrap-up.

Jordan's family is a big part of the book. Their love and support of each other easily spill over to Georgia and her family. Morgan comes across as this big tough guy, but his inner marshmallow is evident whenever he talks about his wife and child. I loved how Sawyer, the doctor, made himself available if Georgia's mother had more health issues. Young Casey was my favorite. He's only eighteen, but you can see his father's and uncles' influence on him. I loved his kindness and compassion for the teenage girl, Emma, and how Georgia's kids adored him. I also loved how Jordan's sisters-in-law quickly became friends with Georgia. My favorite scene with them was when they showed up at the bar to see Georgia dance - without their husbands. Jordan's horror made me laugh out loud.

Reading this book reminded me that I still have a few from this series that I haven't read yet. Must remedy that.

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Much like the other books in this series, this one suffers from not really having a plot. The hero and heroine meet, there’s insta-lust, and then with nothing really changing about their situation they live HEA. It makes for a rather unfulfilling read when our happy couple don’t actually have to overcome anything in order to be together.


The story opens with Jordan leading a group of men into a seedy bar that’s just over the line in the next county. Apparently since this place opened up, the streets of Buckhorn have been swamped with drunken yahoos racing around in cars and terrorizing the local wildlife. I’m not really clear on what Jordan and his crew intended to do when they got there. Speak to the owner and ask him to stop over-serving? Because I’m sure any man who would do such a thing in the first place would be more than happy to alter his business practices after a firm talking to…

But whatever their plan was, it swiftly goes out the window when a beautiful exotic dancer takes the stage. Apparently she’s got gigantic boobs and Jordan falls instantly in lust with her, even though he makes some very unflattering assumptions about what kind of girl she must be. The men in the bar are wild for her performance and cheer madly. Things get unruly at the end, however, when men start trying to grab the woman and feel her up. Jordan sees red and starts a bar fight trying to defend her honor. The police get called and show up in a shockingly fast response time, considering they couldn’t be bothered to do anything about all the drunk driving that was happening prior to this. Jordan and the heroine, Georgia, are swiftly put in handcuffs and shoved in the back of a police car. They’re the only ones present who are from Buckhorn, so the local sheriff calls Morgan to come take custody of them.

Inside the police car, Jordan and Georgia exchange words. She tells him that he’s to blame for the brawl. That she dances there all the time, and waitresses during the week, so she knows the locals and how to handle them. That he shouldn’t have escalated things. She’s shivering and Jordan tries to offer her his jacket. In the process he makes some comments about the extremely revealing outfit that she’s wearing and she reacts by stubbornly refusing to be ashamed. She needs the money and this job pays better than any other she could find. Eventually they share a kiss in the car, apparently both just so irresistibly drawn to each other. Jordan is off-the-charts hot for her, but doesn’t consider her relationship-material. She’s just a slutty dancer, after all. He couldn’t possibly date her for real. But a hot sweaty fling? Oh yeah, he’s 100% on board for that.

Morgan turns up and he’s pissed at having been called out in the middle of the night when he’s got a sick wife at home. He does a lot of growling and threatening to take Jordan and Georgia in but Jordan tells him to come off it because they both know he’s not going to do that. Georgia tartly asks if they could please just let her go home then, because she’s in a hurry. They ask if she’s got a husband to rush home to and she says no, she’s got kids waiting for her. Jordan is thunderstruck to find this out. He demands to know where her husband is and she says he’s her ex, and she has no idea where he is but hopes he stays there. Jordan relaxes, now that he’s been reassured that there’s no other man in Georgia’s life. He then follows her back inside the bar to collect the money from the stage, which the sleazy owner had been just about to pocket, and then they leave.

Morgan drives them to Georgia’s house first and as soon as she gets there she knows something is wrong. Her son and daughter, 4 and 6 respectively, are waiting at the front door, when they should have been in bed hours ago. Her daughter runs out and says that something is wrong with their grandmother. Georgia rushes in and finds her mother in bed, barely breathing and running a fever. She grabs an oxygen tank and puts it on her mother’s face, which helps her a little.

Granny needs to go to the hospital so Morgan and Jordan help the kids get dressed and try to reassure them. Everywhere Jordan goes, he sees evidence of what a struggle Georgia’s life must be. The house has great bones, but will need a ton of repairs to bring it to its full potential. There’s a great yard, but it’s overgrown with weeds that Georgia doesn’t have the time or energy to pull because she’s working to support four people. He feels guilty again about judging her to be a woman of low character, just because she’s an exotic dancer.

They drive her and her family to the hospital (although LF neatly avoids the question of just how the children could safely ride in the police car when it surely wasn’t equipped with car seats…). Jordan tells Georgia to go get her mother checked in, he’ll watch the kids. Georgia is torn. She barely knows Jordan and doesn’t feel right about trusting him with her kids. Not to mention that she doesn’t like to rely on any man. Her experience with her ex, her remote father, and her in-laws, has taught her that she needs to stand on her own two feet. Men will only ever let her down. But she finally relents and lets him take the kids to the waiting room.

After the grandmother is settled into the hospital, Georgia is finally ready to leave. The kids have long since fallen asleep and Jordan is waiting to take her home. He helps her into the house and then insists on watching the kids for her the next day, so she can go to work. She refuses for the aforementioned reasons. He keeps pressing and she keeps refusing. Then suddenly she takes off the sky-high heels she’s been wearing this whole time and rubs her feet. He grabs her foot and starts giving her a foot massage that has her practically orgasming. Then she falls asleep.

Next morning she wakes up to find Jordan in her kitchen, making her kids pancakes. He’d stayed the night. He then completely lies to her face by saying that “she agreed” to him watching the kids for her while her mother was in the hospital, and when he couldn’t do it, someone else in his family would. Georgia says she doesn’t remember that, but he keeps insisting with a completely straight face that she did, so he eventually gaslights her into believing it.

And that’s pretty much the whole story, believe it or not. Jordan just keeps hanging around with her for a few weeks, despite her protests. He’s boiling with jealousy that she continues to dance at the bar but he can’t really stop her. He’s tried to suggest that she become his secretary but she already knows that Gabe’s wife, Elizabeth, is Jordan’s assistant so he doesn’t really need another one. He’d just be creating the position for her out of pity. I had to wonder why he didn’t arrange for Gabe to hire Georgia, since at the end of the last book Gabe was complaining that Jordan had “stolen” Elizabeth from him because Gabe wanted her to be his secretary instead. So it seemed like Gabe had an open position, but whatever, no one things of that.

One day Jordan goes to watch her dance and he sits in the front row glowering the whole time. He can’t stand that all these other men are lusting after Georgia, just like he is. She’s unnerved to see Jordan in the front row and struggles to get through her routine. Afterward he comes into the back and they have a confrontation. Georgia tells him that she doesn’t want him to come to her shows and just sit there judging her. That he knows why she does this and that she wouldn’t if she had another option but he’s got no right to make her feel ashamed for feeding her family. This encounter somehow ends up with them kissing and Jordan giving her an orgasm, though they don’t have sex. Then they walk out front and run into Honey and Misty, who watched Georgia’s routine and gush about what an amazing dancer she is and how she looks incredible after two kids.

Then there’s a big cookout where the brother’s much-loved mother comes to town. Jordan admits to her that he’s in love with Georgia. There’s a completely bizarre scene at the cookout where right in front on his mother, Jordan forcibly grabs Georgia’s feet and starts giving her a foot massage, even though it clearly makes Georgia uncomfortable and she keeps trying to pull away. Apparently this is supposed to be endearing and romantic somehow? His mother certainly seems to think so.

Then they get word that the bar Georgia danced at has been shut down by the authorities. Georgia is shaken and wants to leave the party. She says she has to start job hunting right away or she’ll fall behind on her bills. And she’s worried because she’d already looked at all the available jobs in town and none had paid hire than the bar, so she’ll have to work even longer hours in order to keep her family afloat. Jordan says he’s got two alternatives for her. She can either marry him, or she can open her own dance studio, because he’s already found the perfect location and bought the building for her.

As far as proposals go, it’s not exactly brimming with romance. Georgia is caught off guard and is like “did you just propose to me because I’m broke?” Jordan says that he loves her and wants to marry her. She asks him if he’d drop out of her kids’ lives if she refused to marry him. He said that he wouldn’t. That he had already bonded with them and he wouldn’t abandon them no matter what. That’s all she needs to hear and she says she loves him back, and agrees to marry him. HEA.

It was a very strange and abrupt ending, honestly. Nothing had really happened. I kept expecting her ex to come back, or maybe for the sleazy bar owner to cause some kind of trouble, etc. But there was nothing. I didn’t really care for Jordan’s portrayal in the book either. The whole rest of the series we saw him behaving as the quieter, more intense brother. The man who loved animals and took in every stray to nurse them back to health. In this book there was hardly any mention of animals at all. And he behaved just as much like a grunting caveman as the rest of the men. It just didn’t feel like him.



It was just kind of a blah story overall. Nothing really happened to bring about their relationship. They didn’t have to overcome anything together. They just met, lusted, and hung around together until they decided to get married. Yawn.

Letto e recensito da Iaia
Jordan e Georgia si incontrano e scontrano in un bar malfamato dove lei lavora come cameriera e come ballerina per due sere alla settimana per racimolare più soldi possibili, visto che ha due figli da mantenere e una mamma malata, mentre lui si ritrova in quel bar per far capire al proprietario del locale che non deve far ubriacare all'inverosimile i suoi avventori visto che poi questi ne combinano di tutti i colori.
Appena guardato la donna che si trova sul palcoscenico, si sente rimescolare e da subito sente la necessità di volerla proteggere da chi cerca di metterle le mani addosso. Nasce un putiferio, arriva la polizia, si chiarisce la cosa e da quella sera i due protagonisti sentono che i loro sentimenti reciproci sono qualcosa di profondo.
E' un romanzo romantico, dolce, e in tutti i libri viene messo in rilievo come questi fratelli si innamorino al primo sguardo. Jordan è un gran bell'uomo, ed è difficile che passi inosservato, e anche lui si intestardisce, come i suoi fratelli con le loro mogli, a conquistare la donna che gli ha fatto perder la testa.
Non è un libro di quelli da salvare in caso di incendio, ma sicuramente è una storia rilassante, che fa bene all'umore visto che l'amore e la passione la fanno da padrone e che ti lasciano col sorriso perché a molte persone piacerebbe ricordare o vivere, nel caso non fosse mai capitato, quei momenti in cui le gambe tremano, il cuore batte a mille e la gioia che si prova in un abbraccio che si scambia con la persona che si ama. E' per questo motivo che trovo la serie interessante in quanto c'è una giusta esaltazione dei sentimenti.

Read in the box set FOREVER BUCKHORN through my library for some fun old-fashioned reading.
Liked that Jordon didn’t fight his feelings for Georgia as badly as his brothers did but helped out in a sad situation.
I do love how this family pulls together on every important occasion.
I really felt for Georgia and everything she had gone through. It was great to see her triumph over her situation. As any mother knows you will do anything to feed and clothe your children.
Ruth hooking up with Honey and Misty’s father, just cannot see it happening.
The ex in-laws never made an appearance which I found strange after what they tried to do.
Also it is never stated if Georgia had qualifications to run a dance and fitness studio.

Reread this authors Winston Brothers and Visitation series. Grabbed these through my library for some light reading.
Quite entertaining to read books this old and the sexually biased slant to them.
How stories have changed in 20 years. I quite like the old-fashioned manners of the men but they are a bit dominating and overbearing, in a nice way.

I find it interesting that these men are all women magnets, basically big players but no other women show up or make a fuss.
Found it interesting that none of these brothers have ever gotten a woman pregnant by accident either but poor Misty book 2 and Georgia book 3, had both been pregnant due to broken condoms.
Seems these men are super lucky.

I have read the first seven books in one hit so will not be reading the others for a while as they seem similarly themed.

Quarto libro e quarto fratello: qua conosciamo meglio il veterinario Jordan, l'ultimo scapolo della famiglia.
Jordan è figlio del secondo marito di Megan, quello che si è rivelato un ubriacone e che se ne è andato durante il divorzio. Jordan è cresciuto con un senso di inferiorità verso gli altri fratelli che hanno avuto dei padri amorevoli.
Una sera Jordan si reca in un pub appena fuori dalla contea per chiedere di smetterla con l'alcool, quando si ritrova coinvolta in una mezza rissa per difendere la ballerina che si stava esibendo.
Georgia è una madre single di due bambini e cerca di sbarcare il lunario dopo un difficile divorzio e l'abbandono del padre dei piccoli.
Jordan rimane affascinato da Georgia ma la ragazza si è ripromessa di fare a meno degli uomini e di farcela con le sue forze.
Tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo un sexy e determinato veterinario e quindi la sua risoluzione dura poco.
Libro in linea con i precedenti degli altri fratelli. Ci sarebbe del materiale da sviluppare, invece tutto fila troppo liscio. Avrei voluto una ricomparsa del padre di Jordan o dell'ex di Georgia, invece qui vanno tutti d'accordo e non c'è altro a parte le convinzioni della protagonista, che naturalmente cambiano appena le fanno notare quanto sia un buon partito Jordan.
Almeno nell'ultimo capitolo viene introdotta la storia di Casey e Emma e vedremo cosa sarà mai successo alla ragazza.

Jordan Somerville is the mellowest of the four brothers. A gentle voice that gentles the animals he works with, he finds that his mild manners are not up to task when he encounters Georgia Barnes. The way she dances on stage puts more than a few erotic images in to his mind. But is he really looking for a woman with two young children and the imstakes she has made.

Georgia has to work. Being an exotic dance helps pay for the home her children and mother are trying to finish. It's what keeps food on the table. Finding herself in the sights of Jordan, she is not sure she can risk wanting another man.

Building on the whole family, it's great story with just the right blend of love going around.

[Veronica Rivera · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the 3rd brother but the 4th book in the series. Jordan is reserved compared to his three brothers Sawyer, Morgan, and Gabe, but Jordan's heart is all about the care of the animals in his care.

Georgia is a mom of 2, and she also takes care of her mom who is ill, so what if she dances at a bar at night, and waits on tables during the day, she does what is needed to give her children what they need.

Now this book was good, I loved this character maybe because he was always the unknown, very stoic, not the type to react and be outlandish so to see him act this way with Georgia was a fun, and Lori Foster is good at giving the Buckhiorn men the woman that will do that with them. Good job.

Another great addition to this already great series!
I am really enjoying the whole no real drama or angst in this series. These men know what they want and go full steam to get it without the extra drama.
Jordan though there were moments when he cause a bit of drama what with his over possessive protectiveness over Georgia...everything he did was to protect her, the drama which was more along the lines of embarrassment was a side effects.

I REALLY loved the interwoven parts with Casey and Emma, and I am SO excited to read that book! Even though it’s late here and I shouldn’t I think I will start it tonight.

I can't believe how they met. But it became like a dream that he found a woman that kept his interest more than anyone else could. It doesn't matter about her past cause he's different than alot of guys and it's how he was brought up the rt way whether he had a father or not. He would do the best 4 her and convince her his feelings r true and won't b like anything b4.
