Mine Would Be You

Dawson Brothers #3

by Ali Parker, Jessica Mills

I’m as bad as they come, but I’m trying to right my wrongs. Sort of. The right woman comes along, and I’m willing to bend my new rules, to go back to taking what I want from life without apology. And lucky me, she just showed up. Sexy. Strong. Demanding little tart. Never in a million years had I expected to play the good guy, but something about Abi has me tripping over my damn self, trying to help her out. Her granddaddy’s ranch is going under, and the pretty thing showed up, trying to save it. Crazy enough, she doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing, but I do. Time to step up to the plate and help the doll out–out of her big city dress. She might be looking for help in all the wrong places, but I’m just looking to make her mine. One night at a time.

This is the third in The Dawson Brothers Ranch Series by Ali Parker and it is a winning series by this USA best Selling Author.  I really enjoyed books one and two and didn't think Ali could surpass those two, but she did as this storyline is terrific.  Abi is back to her grandparents ranch to help when she discovers that they are in poor health and could lose the ranch. She persuades her younger brother to come help whilst on summer break from college.  She gets a job at Kinseys and it is there that she meets Mason. Now Mason is the youngest Dawson brother and a bit of a playboy.  His reputation is at it's lowest at the moment as the local 'floosie' has claimed that he's the father of her child but won't offer any proof.  There is a mutual and instant attraction between Abi and mason but other people get in the way.  His older brother and dad want him spending all his time at their farm and don't want him getting involved with Abi and helping her family.  mason and Abi are just perfect for each other and the chemistry between them in this fast paced wonderful story is off the charts.  Ali has written such fantastic characters that are believable and so real - having read the other two stories I was able to understand and 'know' many of the characters which made it even more fun for me. having said that, it can easily be read as a standalone, though I strongly suspect you'd then want to go and read the first two straight afterwards as it's so good.  I loved Mason's ideas for helping Abi's family and the dedication he put towards helping them.  This is a fun and sexy story with red hot passion between the two of them so have fans/air con in working order as you'll need them! Some great twist and I loved when someone got a real drenching! really looking forward to reading Ali and Weston Parker's next stories.  I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. However, as I enjoyed the book so much and to support the author, I purchased my own copy of it too.

Most definitely recommended

Back to the Dawson Ranch- with the not so average Dawson Brother's! This book is about Mason, the bad boy player getting involved with the good girl Abi.
Living up to his reputation as a ladies man has never been difficult, but the new girl in town Abi is a bit resistant to his charms, she is there to help save her Grandfathers Ranch, not hop in his bed.
Intrigued, captivated and needing to see where the sparks between them could go- Mason sets out to help Abi save her grandfathers ranch.
Will his charge ahead tactics be too much?
AWH! What a tug of war this one is! Insta-all heartbreak, the feels just poured from the pages!
Beautifully maddening, with a side of heavy heart and high heat, following along as Mason and Abi fumbled through first love trials while family dynamics ( aka Ted I mean really what the heck was that all about?! GAH!) made those obstacles even more substantial. Made for an unputdownable cowboy romance, I frustratingly enjoyed every up and down minute of!
I have loved getting to know the Dawson brothers throughout this series, I am looking forward, to the last book!
#oneclick material!

Drama and chaos and angst, oh my! From the moment I picked up the first book in this series, I knew I needed to know all about these brothers. This time we get to be up close and personal with Mason, the second youngest Dawson. He’s finally gotten the chance to sow some wild oats and they may be about to come back and bite him. Abi’s in town to save her grandparent’s farm. She’s heard all the rumors about Mason Dawson. Should she believe the rumors or the townsfolk who tell her he’s a great guy? But if she’s not sticking around after the harvest, does it matter anyway? I loved this book. I loved getting a chance to see the Dawson family again, even if Ted behaved like a bigger jerk than he was in his own book. And in spite of Mason and Abi repeatedly breaking my heart and making me want to beat sense into their stubborn little heads, I loved watching this pair come together. I can’t wait to see who it’s going to take to get through to Luke now.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.

In this book, we get an up-close/personal look at the third Dawson brother, Mason. He is struggling with the transition of Ted taking over management of the ranch. It appears nothing he does is right or satisfies Ted. His escape to the local bar takes his mind off the daily issues. Tonight he notices a new girl at the bar and he can't take his eyes off her.

Abi is in town to help her grandparents with their farm. She works at the bar to get some extra cash to help with their expenses. The last things she needs is a distraction. Then she meets Mason and needless to say, their chemistry is off the chart.

It is not long before doubts and insecurities overtake them. Will their attraction to one another be enough or will the day-to-day pressures wear them down and drive them apart? Likable characters and challenging events will keep the reader busy and there will be plenty of doubts where it is going right up to the end.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ali Parker seems to surprise me every time. Her stories just keeps getting better and better. This is one of the best until now. It has been written with a lot of heart and has a great storyline and plot. The characters are well described and they develop nicely through the story.
The mix of passion, chemistry, steam, emotions, heartwarming moments and twists makes this story absolutely captivating and worth the read.
A ladies man and a woman trying to save her parents farm. She does not want any relationship because she is going back but fate has its own way of showing both main characters the right way.
A romance with lots of chemistry and passion between the main characters. A sweet and steamy story with lots in it.
I like it is written in dual POV, which gives the reader both the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. That makes the story even more emotional and captivating. I like that it has an epilogue to finish of the story.
It is engaging and recommendable.

In this story as get to see Mason's side. We watch as he was head over heels in love with Abi. With all the drama surrounding him and a few pregnancy it's no wonder why he has a hard time knowing what's to be believed. Abi is this going woman, home to help her grandparents save the family farm but she finds Mason and a hectic yet whirlwind of a romance blossoms between them. Through all the trials and tribulations the find out that it's true love nd and decides to say nd he proposed to her. I've read all the other ones so far and love this series. It's to hard to chose who is my favorite brother. I have a feeling when we get to read Luke's story it will definitely surprise us. Thank you Ali for a wonderful book. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

I love reading about the Dawson Brothers they are a rare breed of the cowboy kind. This is a wonderful love story about Mason and Abigail. Mason as a true Dawson sees something he wants and is determined to get it. That was his thoughts when he first saw Abi at the local bar. The Dawson brothers had a reputation with women and rumors are running rampant about Mason and the town slut Ella. Abi tries her best to stay away from Mason but she has her eyes and heart on him. Mason and Abi make a wonderful team in regard to helping Abi to save her grandparents farm. Through all of their woes that find love among themselves. Once again a wonderful romance.

Great read!

Mine Would Be You is the story of Mason Dawson and Abi, who recently returned to town to help save her grandparent's farm. We catch a hint of them in Wild As the Wind (book 2). The two have some serious serious chemistry, but Abi is reluctant to get involved with Mason since she's planning on leaving after the harvest, and she's not a fan of his man-whore past. The communication (or lack thereof) between them causes issues. They're always second guessing because they have no experience with actual relationships, for different reasons.
I did like the way the story played out, and seeing David and Ted reappear in this story was an added bonus.
Full of angst, steam, and plenty of feels, this is definitely a book worth reading.

[Mandy Saial · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting to read Mason's story since the first book in the series .I needed to see the type of woman that would finally make him want to settle down . I think Abi is a perfect match , because she gets him , flaws and extra baggage included . These two are all about the farms & their families.
I love The Dawson's they have made this series so inviting & heartwarming to me .
There was a lot of Drama surrounding Abi and Mason's relationship , a lot of push and pull as to whether they should even give it a shot . They have great chemistry , some really Emotional ,funny and sexy moments arise within this sweet country romance and I enjoyed every minute

[Linda Kopec · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Dawson brothers are back in this wonderful story that focuses on Mason. Mason is a known player in town, but sets his sights on Abi, a newbie to town who is working in the bar to help save her grandparents farm. Mason decides he wants to help Abi, but she is resistant, as is his family. There are characters from other stories interwoven with this one and interference from all sides. Will Mason get the girl and settle down? Will people believe that he can change? Grab this wonderfully written story today! I received an advanced readers copy and am glad to give five stars to this one!

[Sherri Babb · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to say that I think that Mason might be my favorite Dawson brother but it is a close call. I loved catching up with all the Dawson family. It brought up memories from the two previous books. Ali Parker did a great job with this third book. In it we learned a lot more about Mason who is the second youngest and Abi who is back to in town to save her grandparents farm. I think that they are a perfect match. Their story and romance is very dramatic and very hot. This is a great story and I cannot wait until the next book in the series.

rcvd an advanced reader copy from the author for giving my two cents. we meet Dawson bad boy Mason who works hard and plays harder. he is immediately smitten when he sees he new bartender abi at the local watering hole and after a dance he wants her. abi is attracted to Mason but is only there for help her grandparents save the farm and doesnt need the distraction..esp when the town harlot is saying she carrying masons kid. Mason knows its not his and he wants to help abi out with the farm anyway he can...just to spend time with her. but abi is also keeping a secret from Mason. what will he think when he learns it? will abi lewrn to trust Mason with everything going on?

[Jaime · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoy this series more with each new book!

Mine Would Be You was Mason’s story. Struggling with rumors started by his brother’s ex and the extra responsibilities heaped on him at the family farm by another brother, Mason seeks escape at the local bar. It doesn’t hurt that Abi works there.

She returned to town to help save her family farm. I loved her spunk and determination. The plan she and Mason come up with to turn things around is certainly unconventional, but creative and entertaining.

I really enjoyed their story and can’t wait for the next Dawson brothers book

Love it!!

This is the second book I have read about the Dawson brothers and I’ve loved them both!! Morgan was considered a player; he worked hard on the ranch during the day and loved women at night. As the next to the youngest Dawson, he felt he had life by the tail; that was until he met Abi. Abi came back to Oklahoma to try and save her grandparents farm. The farm held lots of wonderful memories and she wasn’t about to let it slip from their hands. Once Mason saw Abi it was all he could think about; both night and day. The fact that Abi played hard to get just made Mason fall that much harder:)

[Tammy44 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mason Dawson is a playboy that loves to party and does his own thing, even though his family wishes he had more focus. Abi is a innocent but strong young woman who leaves city life to help save her grandparents fledgling farm. When these two meet sparks fly but Abi's heard all the rumors about Mason. Will she give him a chance? This was a well written story with strong likeable characters. Loved Mason and Abi together they had amazing chemistry. A fantastic read that kept my interest from beginning to end.

Read For Author:
Ali and Weston Parker continue this Series with Bang! Mason's story is incredible. The brother who can't seem to catch a break. The one who appears to be the biggest manwhore in town. Until has a dance that changes his life.
Can Mason help Abi and prove he's a good guy, can he ever show his family he's not what they think he is? This to me is one of the best Dawson Brother books the other two are great too! Which means you should really read the entire series. Ali and Weston really get this kind of love story right every time.

[Gabriela Bragg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Abi and Mason, I get it that she does not want to get involved with someone with a baby baggage, specially if the baby mama is the nightmare all the Dawson brothers can seem to get rid of. But it makes me mad when after Mason helps her with the fall festival to save her farm, she gets cold feet when he needs her the most. Finally she gets over her fear and together they make the fall fair a total success. They are on their way to save her farm, Mason fight with his brother seems to get better and you need to read it to find out the end. I love it. Always Ali does not disappoint.

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This coming of age romance between Mason and Abi sparked with just the right hint of the beginnings of adulthood. There were immature moments as well as moments of reflection, and it was a heartfelt, emotional read. I empathized with both of them in equal measure, but I kept wondering if there was more to Abi's story, which I had wanted more details about. Good story overall, I thought it was a nice change of pace that Mason wasn't some entitled billionaire rancher, but instead was a hard-working young man who was experiencing love for the first time.

[Rebecca A. Bamford · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic Ali Parker!

I just love those Dawson brothers. Makes me want to move out west and find a cowboy of my own!
He’s the bad boy of the town, she’s the good girl coming back to help her family.. Perfect mix of sass, sweetness and sex! I loved the emotional ups and downs of Mason and Abi’s love story. And with their family in the mix it was like visiting old friends. I hated to leave when the book was done! No disappointments here. I couldn’t put it down. I went without a lot of sleep, but it was worth it! A+ !

This is the third story in the Dawson Brothers series, is a standalone story with no cliffhangers and a wonderful HEA.

We finally get Mason's story, the town playboy finally meets a woman who is perfect for him. Abi is sweet and innocent but strong enough to stand up for herself when she needs to. The chemistry between them is hot, there is loads of drama and romance to keep you entertained.

Make this one yours!

Mason, the third Dawson brother and a playboy, gets a rude awakening when Abi, a new arrival trying to save the family farm, lingers in his thoughts after just a dance. Their story plays out in ways that keep the reader engaged and racing to reach the end without having to stop. The Parker's have provided yet another stirring tale from the Oklahoma Dawson's, as another one finds their HEA in a unique and lovely way.

[BP34 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book three in the Dawson Brothers Series. This book is a standalone but features Mason, the second youngest of the Dawson brothers. A great book that will grab your attention right at the beginning. Well written with likeable characters and an entertaining story line. You will love this book. Mason has always been a playboy but does the appearance of Abi make him want to change his ways.

[Bookworm151 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I adore this book.
Mason is seen as a player, but underneath he is a sweetheart, particularly after meeting Abi. Abi is back to save the family ranch and Mason is smitten, spending time trying to help her. Abi is wary of this cocky player, she wants to fix the ranch and return home but Mason has other ideas!!

Honestly the characters leapt out of the pages, testament to the quality of writing about the chemistry. Love this book, can’t wait to read again.

A charming, gentle, country romance. Great characterizations! There are a whole host of players in this novel ... including the ubiquitous tractor driver ... just wait, read this novel and you will understand! Really vividly described characters that added so much to sub-plots within this novel. Many machinations evolving throughout the story. A very entertaining read!

Mason, the 3rd Dawson brother, is use to getting any women he wants. When Abi, who moved to town to help with her grandfather's ranch, shows no interest in him it only makes Mason want her more. He decides to help Abi save her grandfather's ranch. Their relationship is up and down with obstacles put in their path. I loved the chemistry and have enjoyed following the Dawson brothers stories.

Mason and Abi are interesting characters in this story. Abby is back in town to help her grandparents with the farm. She is working in the bar to help pay off their bills that have accumulated. Mason has taken one look at Abi, and he is feeling things he thought he never thought he would. Can Abi the one that will have Mason saying I do?

"Another One Bites the Dust!"
The Dawson brothers are falling fast:
Mason Dawson, man-ho extraordinaire, vs Abigail Brock, innocent, good girl from North Carolina. 
They have some serious issues and logistical problems to deal with. The real question is whether or not they have the tenacity and trust to manage what they are faced with.

Great story and series!

I loved Mine Would Be You!! I just loved Abi and Mason. They are such a great couple. I love how patient he is with Abi and loving he is to her. How fast they fell in love and how strong it is. I would recommend this book to everyone. I just love this series and would recommend this book and the whole series to everyone. Ali Parker is a great writer. I would also recommend anything she writes.

Mason is my favourite Dawson brother. In the third book of this series you'll read Mason's story and how Abi comes to town and changes everything without even meaning to. There's some serious tension on the farm. I was surprised with the epilogue in the best way. Ali Parker once again delivers a great book for her readers
