Cowboy's Heart
The Blake Boys Book Eight
Reconciling the past. Speeding toward the future. Can a cowboy's heart survive the now?
Country singer Tate McGill has never been happier. He's engaged to Isabelle, the woman of his dreams, and his music career has shot him straight to the top. With his adopted Blake clan gathered in Las Vegas for the last leg of his world tour, Tate's excited to publicly announce his engagement. But his excitement is bittersweet. Isabelle has found a collection of beautiful, unpublished country songs by Tate's late birth mother and a lifetime's worth of letters between her and his adopted mother, Teri-Lyn, matriarch of the powerful Blake family. Tate's given all he has to overcome his abusive past and build a future for himself and Isabelle, but he's not sure if his birth mother's words will bring him closure, or more pain.
Isabelle Reed has a wonderful secret—and terrible timing. She's engaged to her sexy country music star, Tate McGill, and after months of physical therapy to heal the arm broken by her abusive ex-husband, she's finally able to play her violin professionally again. But best of all, she's pregnant! Unfortunately, her timing couldn't be worse. Tate's afraid to have children, fearing he'll perpetrate the cycle of abuse he suffered as a child. And with the shadows of his birth mother's letters, and Isabelle's disapproving father coming to meet “that cowboy,” Tate has enough on his plate. His entire career is riding on this last gig of his tour and on the film that’s being made about him and his band. He can't be distracted by the ghosts of his past that Isabelle knows her news will raise. If she can just hide her morning sickness until after Vegas…
But Isabelle's father won't be appeased, and when Tate’s past follows him to Vegas, it only fuels her father's disapproval. With the baby coming, Isabelle wants everyone to get along. Will she really have to choose between her new life with Tate and her father's love?

I love the stories about the Blake's and catching up on everyone and everything that's going on with the families.....just hate that when I finish a book and it's only at 88% and the rest is filled with inserts from other books...3.5 stars.....

Time heals all wounded hearts
Both Isabelle and Tate needed to heal old wounds from the past. With Tate, that happened with his mother's letters. Just being in love with Tate was Isabelle's healing balm. But her father was a burr in her side with the way he disrespected Tate. Tate finally was able to win him over by the hardest. I just knew Lucas and John Jacob were going to come to blows over Tate.
I just love reading about this incredibly close and ever growing family. The stories that Rhonda writes represent an insight of a true and loving family with all of its different dynamics. The antics of the single naughty nerds was just too funny.

Okay
I've been reading this series from the beginning, so it feels like a visit with old friends. I felt like the conflicts with Joe and Lucas could have been more developed though.

Really enjoyed this book. I love me some Morgan, she will go in on anybody that's wrong. I love her feisty personality. They know not to mess with Morgan. Izzy has a little spunk in her to. Can't wait for the next release!!!

The Sweet Life
3 stars ... a sweet story to add to the Blake Boys Series. A nice look at the lives of the other couples from past books.
