Return to Delight-
Harley June Baker left Delight thinking never to return, but when circumstances draw her back to this tiny town and straight into Cooper’s strong arms, she knows she’s in deep trouble. The man she’d loved and left behind is now one sexy devil-in-denim and hotter than a Texas summer night. With his every wicked touch throwing her senses into overdrive, how could any sane woman resist?
Return of the Daredevil-
Scrumptious scoundrel. Daredevil T Dobbs, the sexiest cowboy to ever walk the streets of Delight, Texas, headed out of town, taking Melanie Honeycutt's heart with him. But now he's back and hotter than ever. Trust him? Her head says no but her body has other ideas. Stubborn woman. She was the girl T never forgot and the woman he yearns for in the deepest part of his heart. But what's a man to do when she doesn't believe he's home for good? T knows his way around dangerous curves, and Mel's are hot enough to burn a man. He figures it'll take a slow hand and some downright smokin'-hot sex to melt her reserve but he's definitely up for the challenge.
Return to Ransom-
Lynn Halstead returns to Delight, Texas, with one objective in mind…finding a little revenge for a past trauma. Instead of dishing out a hefty dose of payback, however, she comes face-to-face with the one man she has never been able to forget. Ransom Dobbs lives a life of responsibility and regret. He moves forward and gets the job done. That’s what a man does, after all. There’s little time for women and happy-ever-afters but the big, tough rancher is thrown for a loop by a sweet blast from his past. Lynn burns him with every look and every touch, but can she banish the ghost that torments him? He craves happiness but is he brave enough to risk his heart?

BOOK ONE: RETURN TO DELIGHT
This was a good story. I have never read anything from Regina Carlysle but after this book, I certainly will in the future.

Hero: Cooper Dobbs, contractor and cowboy, determined to keep the woman he loves.

Heroine: Harley June Baker, custom boot designer, only back in town to move out.

Book: #1 in the Delight, Texas trilogy; standalone but open for next book, novella

Plot: Harley June comes back to Delight to pack up her family home and skedaddle back to Houston and continue her career. Cooper knows he loves her and won't let her leave him again. He is determined to prove to her that he loves her and will be enough for her forever.

POV: dual first person

Setting: small town, Delight, Texas

Heat Level: 4/5 - there are definitely some sexy scenes but there is also a plot. Some of the hot scenes don't mesh as well as they could, making them less awesome but overall, pretty good heat.

Ending: HEA, no cliffhanger

------------------------------------

BOOK TWO: RETURN OF THE DAREDEVIL
This story was necessary after the intro of their relationship in Return to Delight. It wasn't my favorite in the series but it was good.

Hero: Heywood T Dobbs, stuntman and cowboy, returned home after years away

Heroine: Melanie "Mel" Honeycutt, high school teacher, wary of trusting again

Book: #2 in the Delight, Texas trilogy; standalone but open for next book, novella

Plot: T comes home after years away and needs to prove that he is sticking around this time. Mel has a hard time trusting him because she has spent the years that he has been gone trying to get over him and he shows up right when she is about to finally get there.

POV: dual first person

Setting: small town, Delight, Texas

Heat Level: 4/5 - there are definitely some sexy scenes but there is also a plot. Some of the hot scenes don't mesh as well as they could, making them less awesome but overall, pretty good heat.

Ending: HEA, no cliffhanger

-------------------------------------

BOOK THREE: RETURN TO RANSOM
This was the best story in the trilogy. This book made the previous two feel like they are prologues to this story. That is not to say they weren't both good but this book really wrapped everything up.

Hero: Ransom Dobbs, cowboy, still mourning his late wife but maybe ready to move on

Heroine: Lynn Halstead, pediatrician, only in Delight long enough to prove that she is grown and then heading back to Dallas

Book: #3 in the Delight, Texas trilogy; standalone, conclusion of trilogy, novella

Plot: Lynn comes home to prove to the entire town, but especially her childhood bully, that she has grown and is better than any of them expected. The only problem is that she gets distracted by Ransom along the way, her adolescent crush. Ransom is still mourning his late wife and has locked his heart away, not willing to risk that kind of pain again.

POV: dual first person

Setting: small town, Delight, Texas

Heat Level: 4.5/5 - there are definitely some sexy scenes but there is also a plot. Some of the hot scenes don't mesh as well as they could, making them less awesome but overall, pretty good heat.

Ending: HEA, no cliffhanger

Well who doesn't like HOT Cowboys??? This 3 book set is packed full of them. 3 brothers, Cooper (the middle), T (the baby) & Ransom (the oldest)!
This is all about growing up in a small town, some people leave to get away and some stay and make a life for themselves or they come back to their HOME. I loved reading all about Harley June & Cooper, Mel & T, and Lynn and Ransom. All had their strengths and weaknesses. This is a very sweet and steamy box set. I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Ransom is my favorite story, but I liked them all! Highly recommended. Thank you!

An Awesome Read!

I loved reading this three book bundle all about the three Hobbs brothers and their significant others! Book one is about Cooper the middle brother and his girlfriend Harley June Baker his girlfriend from high school. Harley is a fashion cowboy boot designer and she has come back to delight Texas to sell her mom's Victorian house. She hired a handy man to paint and make repairs, and when she pulled up outside of the house she couldn't believe who she saw painting, but her old beau Cooper. They reconnected while she was home, and then she went back to Houston, with a lot on her plate! Read what happens with these two hot characters! In book two T. Hobbs the baby brother comes back to Delight, Texas and wants to reconnect with is girlfriend Melanie Honeycutt. He's been gone for more than eleven years and she never stopped loving him, and apparently he never forgot her either. Read about their tumultuous second chance and fall in love with Melanie & T. Hobbs. In book three the town is celebrating a reunion and Ransom Hobbs the oldest brother is still mourning the loss of his wife Cassie from twelve years ago. However he bangs into a girl he saved from near certain humiliation the night of her prom years ago, and has to save her again from the same jerk today. She was a lonely girl back in high school, and basically stayed to herself, and took care of her invalid mother until she died right after she finished high school! She became a pediatric doctor and has a successful practice in Dallas Texas. Ransom & the dr hit it off and become inseparable. Read this three book selection and fall in love with Delight, Texas! The author wrote a great series about a warm loving family, and offers each of the brothers a shot at a second chance, and they all jump at it!

This is the first time I am reading anything from this author with what better way to really get acquainted by a writing from them is in a bundle set. This one is centered in one town that will give us the lowdown on 3 brothers and the women that enter their lives. Actually it would seem that this will be a reenter, second chance at getting it right or no go in romance too. You first get Harley and Cooper who has a short time to convince her that this is home with him in it. She comes home to settle some things but finds the fire is still there so which way will they go is the fire and fun of this one. You will also find yourself in no time finished with them heading into her bbf's life because her heart has come home he says for good but time will tell for Melanie and T. With just as much heat but even hotter this one is enjoyable from beginning to end with the reader squirming in a hot seat sliding into home with the final fare that has to do with big brother and can he find a heart that beats again. I think I liked his the best with a reunion bringing Lynn to town she finally gets her chance to tell him how he was her hero but the tables will be turned in a way for Ransom when love breathes life into him once again. Needless to say I enjoyed these more than I thought I would because on some description it says they are hot but I do like a story to go with the heat which this author does times three in this one.

Delight, Texas was a steamy and sweet collection of books about three brothers and their loves. I really enjoyed reading them, but I wish the first two weren't quite so similar. The third book about Ransom was my absolute favorite though. It was so sweet and sad at the same time. This was great writing. The characters were perfectly detailed. I really like this authors writing style and can't wait to read more.

Book one is about Cooper Dobbs, the middle brother, and his love that got away. When she, Harley, comes back to town to sell her mother's house, Cooper devises a plan to win her heart back.

T Dobbs is the youngest and when he was offered a job as a stunt man he saw his chance to get out of Delight and jumped at it. What he didn't realize was how much he would miss the girl he left behind and how much he hurt her by leaving. Can he win her trust and heart back?

Ransom Dobbs is the oldest brother. When their parents died, all the responsibility fell on him, from running a ranch to raising his brothers. The love of his life died while they were still young, and he never wanted to move on, until he sees Lynn all grown up. Then his whole life gets flipped upside-down.

I enjoyed this collection of hot stories. The three Dobbs brothers each have a chance to find their happiness. In Return to Delight, Cooper and Harley reconnect when Harley comes back to town to sell her family home. Cooper tries to get Harley to see she can work from anywhere and that she belonged in Delight and with him. In Return of the Daredevil, the baby of the three comes home after leaving to become a stunt man. Melanie was hurt when he left town while she was in college, ending their relationship. He admits to his mistake and works at winning her back. In Return to Ransom, the eldest Dobbs is still affected by his wife's death when Lynn comes back to town for the school reunion. Lynn had been hurt in high school and left town when she could. Ransom noticed the woman she had become and realized he needs to heal. All three stories have intense feelings and heat between the hero and heroine, and I loved the characters. I recommend this book (or the individual stories).

A great read! This box set was given to me in exchange of an honest review.
This is a country western romance with some adult content so I suggest that it would be +18.
This is the 3 hot stories of the three Dobbs brothers.
The first is the erotic story of Cooper and Harley finally coming back together after many years apart.
The second is the story of Melanie and Heywood T. The third is the story of Lynn and the third Dobbs brother Ransom.
This is a simple erotic box set. Reads easily and is very well written!

Hot, hot and hot!!! Want to read about 3 very hot cowboys? Then this is for you. These stories are about the Dobbs’ brothers and how they fall head over heels in love with their women. All three stories have their own happy-ever-after, hot and set the sheets of fire romance. This is a sizzling page turner!!
