Remember, true love isn't just for fairy tales . . .
The Traveling Kind
Charley Collins could use a hired hand around her Idaho ranch--but is six-foot-something, too-handsome-for-his-boots Shad Russell the right man for the job? Charley's about to find out that when it comes to women, the rangy cowboy has an ace up his blue denim sleeve: Shad's kisses are hotter than wildfire.
Dakota Dreaming
Edie Gibbs knew she was taking a big chance when she bought a South Dakota ranch . . . complete with tumbledown fences and a barn that looks like a meteor hit it.

And if sexy Will Maddock, the owner of the neighboring Diamond D ranch, intends to get in her way, he'd better step aside.

Both of these books are extremely dated in romance tropes and so problematic they bleed red flags. The only reason it's getting 2 stars instead of 1 is that the grammar and sentences actually make sense and there aren't a lot of typos or mistakes of that nature. But I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a romance with healthy relationships.

This is a 2 for 1 book. The Traveling Kind was about a brother and sister ranchers in Idaho. Needing help on the ranch because her brother had broken his leg, Charley Collins hires a drifter, Shad Russell that she meets in the local cafe. Of course, he's handsome and an excellent ranch hand. Their relationship blossoms into romance, but he is a drifter and he leaves her in the lurch. He returns and all is forgiven................Happy ending!! Dakota Dreaming is about widow Edie Gibbs and her stepson and daughter. Her deceased husband has left her a fair amount of money and income from his inventions. She decides to follow a dream and buy a ranch in South Dakota. Will Maddock, rancher next door, has been trying to buy the property she has just aquired. Something about this man has stirred up more than a fleeting interest in Edie heart. After a stolen kiss..........things progress...............seems like a wedding is in the near future. I, always, like a happy ending.

I've changed. Janet Dailey used to be one of my favorite authors. TGIGU. Maturity means I don't have to read her again.

All of Janet Dailey's books end the same with some romantic ending where they get married within like a week.

June 25, 2018I wasn't engaged by the writing style and I found the length of both these "novels" to be too short to buy into the HEA's. I DNF'd both of these.
