The Rancher Next Door

Texas Legacies: The Carrigans #1

by Cathy Gillen Thacker

She'll Run The Ranch—And Her Life—Her Way!

Rebecca Carrigan is determined to run an alpaca ranch in the middle of Texas cattle country, and succeed on her own! What she doesn't count on is constant interference from Trevor McCabe, the bossy rancher next door. Rebecca figures his nose is out of joint because she's bought the property out from under him. And because she's friendly with Vince Owen, Trevor's archrival from college.

Trevor knows Vince has ulterior motives for spending time with Rebecca. He won't let his beautiful neighbor—or the ranch she's worked so hard for—be hurt by the vindictive Vince. The problem is convincing Rebecca that Trevor's on her side—and not because he's been influenced by her meddlesome family. But because he's fallen for her…

About the author

Dear Readers,

The love stories in my family have always been fodder for romance novels.

My maternal grandmother and grandfather simultaneously ran a business together and raised four daughters, long before it was an accepted thing to do.  Grandpa O’Dell ran the gas station and the barber shop; Grandma O’Dell managed the grocery and cooked for customers.  They were true partners and madly in love and parted, tragically, way too soon when he succumbed to cancer when he was in his early fifties.  Grandma grieved deeply but eventually picked herself up, started a new career as a cafeteria chef, and eventually found deep romantic love and happiness again, in the form of a second marriage.

Great book can't wait to read more books by this author I am glad it worked out the way it did

Okay

This book is okay, if you can accept a women that has her head in the clouds, unnecessarily independent, unwilling to accept help and in turn messed up a lot and still gets the guy. This is a book for you. If you want a book where the work is strong but not an idiot. Don't read it.

Being independent and being annoying are two different thing. Rebecca in this case is being totally annoying. She always argued and refuse any help or suggestion offered by her sweetheart Trevor and her family, but somehow she let Trevor's archrival, Vince Owen, to lend her a hand....
Apart from that, I like the story though...

The problem with Anthologies is that the chances of enjoying all the books are slim. This was the case with this book. I have discovered authors who I will read more of, which is a plus.
