American Stallion: Billionaire Island Brides – Pine Valley Ranch Crossover

by Ana E. Ross

From #1 Amazon, New York Times, and USA Today bestselling author Ana E Ross comes a new small-town series.

The Italian Damsel in Distress…
Gianna often wondered what it would be like to have a loving family, of leaving Italy and seeing the world, and of getting as far away from her father as possible, a man whose associations with the mafia jeopardized the safety of her and her mother. But even in her wildest dreams, Gianna never imagined that she would be the recipient of a multi-million-dollar inheritance, or that she would find herself in southwest Montana, hiding from the man who'd raised her.

When Gianna’s world is suddenly set on fire, her billionaire nephew’s secret ranch and the family that live there become her saving grace. Pine Valley Ranch is remote, peaceful, and far from southern Italy, but Gianna knows the Ambrogio Clan would travel around the world and back again to get their hands on the money that was meant to protect her.

While she waits for word from her nephews as they track down Cleon––the Giannopoulos cousin who set this catastrophe in motion––Gianna will need to look elsewhere for protection. She soon realizes she just might find it, and more, in Cooper Nolan...

The Veteran Cowboy with a Heart of Gold…
Eager to follow in his big brother's footsteps, leave Montana, and see the world, at just eighteen, Cooper enlisted in the Army, rising to the rank of Captain in the 75th Ranger Regiment. By the time he realized that Pine Valley Ranch was the only place he wanted to call home, he’d seen enough pain and destruction––and experienced enough heartache––to last a life time.

Now, at twenty-nine, the only thing Cooper wants to do is work the ranch, take care of his family, and settle down with a good woman. But when Neo Giannopoulos––the billionaire who bought his family’s ranch––calls the Nolans with a desperate plea, the last thing Cooper expected was for an Italian beauty to walk into his life.

He doesn't know who she's hiding from or why she’s on the run, but he knows that he cannot rest until he finds a way to heal the hurt in her heart, and calm the fear behind her beautiful brown eyes...

Gianna wants to trust him, and to believe that Pine Valley is the sanctuary everyone claims it to be, but as she falls in love with the ranch and the people who live there, she will have to find a way to keep from falling in love with Cooper. After everything she's been through, her heart is too fragile, and she doesn't want to break his when the truth is revealed...

This is a Billionaire Island Brides - Pine Valley Ranch Crossover and it is Gianna and Cooper’s story. When Gianna’s mother told her that she was in danger because she had inherited a lot of money and people would do anything to get there hands on it so Gianna had to run then make a phone call that would hopefully keep her safe she did what was asked of her even though she was heartbroken having to leave her mother behind but hopefully with help she would eventually be able to get her mother away from the danger. Now with a new name and identity she was heading to stay at The Pine Valley Ranch in Montana so that she could keep a low profile and hopefully be saf. When Cooper first saw Gianna he was absolutely captivated by her and instantly attracted to her beauty but he could see that she was in so much pain and carrying a lot of secrets but the more time that they spent together the closer they became but unfortunately she was only there for a short time until things were sorted out and that still didn’t stop his feelings for her growing which made things even more difficult and complicated but he didn’t want to lose her and he knew he would protect and keep her safe regardless of what he had to do or the consequences involved because he could see a future with her and hopefully she would feel the same way and not want to leave. This is such a emotional story and it had you turning the pages while also feeling as if you are there with them and feeling and living through everything with them while experiencing all there emotions and experiences. I loved this book so much and read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down as it was so addictive and pulled you into the story while keeping your attention throughout and I can’t wait to read more books by this author in the future.

This book started out heavy on the suspense. I was surprised when it didn't continue through the entire book, or the majority of the book.

As Cooper and Gianna's love story blossomed, the suspense leveled off. I wouldn't exactly call this a forced proximity story, but it possessed some similar elements. I admit that I did keep waiting for the other shoe to drop while Gianna struggled with her new environment and Cooper was there to staunchly support her.

This book actually ended up being a sweet romance. I would recommend you read this especially if you are looking for more romance than suspense. I would give it 3.5 stars.

Gianna discovers she's not who she thought she was and runs at her mother's command leaving her behind to deal with the monster that she thought was her father and the mob greedy for her inheritance. Montana must have been a world away from her small Italian village and her life. At first she lives in fear that the bad guys will come after her and hurt her and the family that took her in. But an orphan kitten and a rancher named Cooper find their way into her heart. There was some suspense but most of it was at the beginning. This was a steamy novella romance.

[Carol · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such an entertaining story. Gianna was in hiding at a Montana ranch and of course, fell in love with Cooper. There were some really good moments in the story, plus the characters were spot on. There was romance, a little drama and a happy family reunion. Well worth reading.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This heartfelt story had me from the first page of Giana and Cooper's story. On the run she had to leave behind her mother and start anew. She connects with Cooper and their path begins. It is a descriptively well written story that reads like a Hallmark movie.

American Stallion is part of the Pine Valley Ranch series. The story was heartwarming, charming, interesting and entertaining. The characters were charming, likable, and enjoyable to read about. I really enjoyed this romance.
