When Dalton Sullivan takes a spill from a bronc at the last rodeo of the season, his life changes forever. Uncertain about his future, his fortunes take another turn when Grandpa Joe bequeaths him a dilapidated horse ranch in his will. Dalton's plans to refurbish the place and turn it into a working ranch again are interrupted when a beautiful woman shows up pretending to be someone she's not.

But will he be able to convince her to do the same before their time together runs out? Eamon Eamon thinks he has love and life figured out. A successful accountant, full of confidence and charm, he's got it all, including the beautiful girlfriend and the high flying job. But when his brother inherits a ranch in south Georgia, he leaves everything behind to help him run it. Emily Zhu is a driven and ambitious surgeon from Boston. Everything in her life is structured and planned, down to the last detail. When she doesn't get the job she's been promised and has been working toward, it seems everything could come tumbling down around her. Suddenly the future is clouded with uncertainty. When Eamon and Emily's paths collide at a wedding, they fight an immediate attraction. Eamon could be the only person who can help Emily find her feet in a world where nothing makes sense. The one to show her opportunity where all she sees is failure. But will she be willing to give Eamon a chance to prove he's the one thing she really needs? And what will they do when an unexpected tragedy strikes at the heart of everything they've fought for? Parker When bumbling veterinarian Jennifer Barsby’s friend Hazel falls ill, she doesn’t hesitate to take action. After quitting her job in Atlanta, she packs up her life and moves to the Cotton Tree ranch in South Georgia to take care of her sick former room-mate. But when circumstances change, she wonders what she should do with the rest of her life. Handsome and brooding cowboy, Parker Williams, is just another pal — at least that’s how Jen sees him. A former Army Ranger, he’s found renewed purpose as part-owner of the ranch. But he’s given up on the idea of ever moving on or finding love. That is until Jen moves in. She’s fun-loving, accident-prone, earnest and caring. But could she ever see him as anything more than a friend? Find out what happens when city girls fall for country boys in these three sweet and inspirational western romance stories.

I just love Vivi Holt's writing style, clean romance with detail and heart that draws the reader into the story. I found myself laughing and crying during these books... they really are hard to put down. The narration is well done and so much fun to listen to. These are great books and what a great deal to get all three!

Dalton (Cowboys and Debutantes Contemporary Book 2) by Vivi Holt
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, I'M IN REAL TROUBLE
The second book in the contemporary Cowboys and Debutantes series will read as a standalone, and these books will read ok out of order. When Grandpa Joe passed away, he had many upstart businesses in various states. He will leave these to various grandchildren, but in the will had a codicil of stipulations. The grandchild or grandchildren must work that business for one full year and make it succeed, or it would revert to Nana Dixie.
Dalton Williams has spent several years on the rodeo circuit bronc riding, and when he has a wonderful eight-second ride, it will change in a blink of the eye with the horse slamming him into the wall, fracturing his leg in two places and end his rodeo career. Just as he is coming to terms with this, he is handed the Cotton Tree Ranch in South Georgia. The ranch has been poorly managed and will take lots of work, but does have horses, a house, barns, and some equipment. Now his new plan is to raise and breed stock horses.
Third chair violinist, Hazel Hildebrand, with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, has ended the season and now has some down time. Her best friend and house mate, Jen, is a vet and works on a horse ranch. She has an emergency medical issue and begs Hazel to accompany a horse to a ranch for breeding. Just a quick trip there, overnight stay, and back. Easy-peasy, or maybe not. And that is our set up for this tale.
The plot will have Hazel agreeing reluctantly to accompany a mare, Contessa's Charity, to a breeding ranch and then pretends to be the vet. Dalton Williams is shocked when Hazel arrives dressed inappropriately in designer clothing and Jimmy Choos heels.
The city slicker lady will meet her hayseed cowboy. Two people, just trying to do a job, but brought together in unusual circumstances, find themselves dealing with weather issues, unexpected situations, and developing a physical attraction. A phone call confirms Dalton's suspensions, but he doesn't reveal what he learns. While Hazel never confirms or denies her status, her lack abilities tell the truth.
What happens when life takes a new twist, and Hazel is offered a first chair position? She must decide if she is fulfilling her dream, or is it the one her parents have made for her? Dalton enlist the aid of his two younger brothers with the ranch, and together, the three of them make progress, but what about money? With several months left before the years time frame, will he be able to keep Cotton Tree, or lose it?
This is a clean, contemporary story that has secrets, some deceit, loyal friends, faithful family, lots of horses, and new beginnings. Life doesn't always proceed as we plan, but sometimes, those forks in the road take us on a scenic route that will lead to a new future.
Parker (Cowboys and Debutantes Contemporary Book 5) by Vivi Holt
I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO LOVE, ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE
The fifth book in the contemporary Cowboys and Debutantes series will read as a stand-alone and is a continuation of this saga of the Williams brothers, Dalton, Eamon, and Parker. The three brothers have pulled together to make the Cotton Tree Ranch prosper as much as they can in the beginning. It seems, just as things are looking up, life happens, and now they must face many uncertainties. Life is all about how you deal with the unexpected, and the Williams family will face those trials.
The story is a clean, contemporary that will have a family pulling together during trials, tragedy, with loyal friends, a faithful family, and some new beginnings. This is Parker’s story.
Parker Williams felt like he lost every male influence in his life at once while he was a teenager. While his mother was very unhappy with his choice, he went into the Army. Now he is discharged but is a haunted man with PTSD from his time with the Army Rangers in Syria. He has pulled together with his two brothers to make the Cotton Tree a surviving ranch with horses and cattle in an area that is mostly peaches and cotton.
When Hazel is diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after she and Dalton married, her best friend and college roommate, Jen Barsby, will pack up her car, resign from her job, and come to the Cotton Tree to be there for Hazel and Dalton as she undergoes surgery. Jen is a veterinarian and is able, with the assistance of Parker, to join with the other local vet in town and work part-time.
The plot of the story will encompass the lives of Hazel and Dalton, and they're coping with her cancer, with Eamon and Emily as they elope and start their married life after her family disapproves of her choice to marry, and Parker and Jen, and new beginnings.
Parker will find friendship and someone he can easily talk to about some of the issues he is dealing with since returning to civilian life. He opens up about seeing a Psychologist and Jen will surprise him that she has visited one during her teen years. She will be a sounding board, but also accompany him to a military ceremony at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Jen is enjoying her time working with the other vet, Will, and has amazing stories to tell about the animals and their owners. She is developing a comradery with the townspeople, and slowly, she and Parker are getting closer. Her family was disappointed that she didn’t come back to work in their family business, but she is happy doing what she chose for herself as a career.
When tragedy strikes the ranch in the form of a freak storm that does damage to the home, it is heartwarming to see how neighbors come together to make repairs. “Lemme see if I can sort somethin’ out. We’re neighbors, Parker, and neighbors take care of each other.”
Once Hazel is recovered from her surgery, what will Jen decide to do? She won’t be going back to Atlanta since no ties are holding her there. The town of Tipton has started to feel like home, and she is making a name in the community as a veterinarian. But what about her family in Birmingham? They still want her to come back and make it her home. What is happening between her and Parker, is it just a friendship, or is it developing into something more serious?
“Well, we both have a chance now to set up the kind of life we want.”
The story does show a family that has faith, prays, and relies on each other.

I honestly had a hard time getting into these stories. I forced myself to finish Dalton's story, but I really didn't get a sense of chemistry between the two main characters - or a sense of the characters themselves. The story went from them just barely interacting with each other, to suddenly we're supposed to believe that they have feelings for each other enough to potentially make big life choices? The writing wasn't bad, i would have just preferred more connection to the characters and more chemistry. Not my cup of tea, but a decent read all the same.

An Awesome Trilogy!!!
I loved reading Cotton TreeRanch: The Complete Trilogy. Book 1 is called Dalton. All about Dalton Williams a young cowboy/Ranch owner & Hazel Hilderbrand a violinist pretending to be a animal Vet. Dalton has just inherited a rundown horse ranch from his grandfather. Since his rodeo days are behind him, since he got badly hurt, the ranch has now given him a life-line which he does not plan to squander. In the mean time, he needs to sink a lot of money into this ranch including horse flesh to get the herd started. So his prize horse needs a good match, and it’s on its way with a girl Vet to watch over them during the process. Enter Hazel, who is doing a favor for her Vet friend Jen and shows up at Cotten Wood Ranch to babysit this horse, and she has no animal experience and it’s so, obvious, just by the way she is dressed! Read about Dalton & Hazel and see if forever might just be in the cards for the two of them. Book 2 is called Eamon. It’s about Dalton’s brother who is an Accountant and 2nd in line. He’s Settled in the Midwest has a girlfriend and a good job, but he’s restless and needs a change. When his older brother calls and says I need help, he grabs baby brother Parker and they drive four days straight to get to Cotton Tree Ranch. Things are in full tops-turvy condition when they arrive. The horses seem less then thrilled with one another, there is a ton of new fence that needs to go up, to keep the herd inside the ranch lines. Hazel is being anything but helpful, she can’t even cook to help out, and the fact that she knows nothing about animals is getting Dalton very pissed off. She does have a frank discussion with Eamon, when she discovers Dalton has gone to the bank to beg for a loan. She says, why don’t you invest in the ranch with your brother. The three of you have been doing an awesome job of piecing this place back together, you could all work together doing something you all like. So after the discussion things drastically change. Jen the Vet Tech shows up, just as Hazel is going to head back to Atlanta. But first she’s going to see her parents, because she no longer wants to be a Violinist, she wants to teach violin instead. Eamon sinks all of his savings into the ranch as does Parker. Eamon is infatuated with Emily Zhu the talented Surgeon from Boston, Hazels roommate from college. Who he gets to meet and fall in love with when she comes for Hazels wedding. Read more about Eamon & Emily and see if they can find there true love together on a tiny ranch in the Southern part of Georgia! Book 3 is called Parker. It’s all about Parker the Ex-Army Ranger the baby brother to Dalton & Eamon and the quiet stick to my room man who enjoys books to people & Jen Barnesby the Veterinarian who had appendicitis’s and forced Hazel to cover for her. In this book Hazel is sick, so her roommates rally around her and come to live on the ranch to help her recuperate. While she is getting better Parker & Jen are falling in love, Eamon & Emily have eloped and things are moving very quickly at the ranch. Please read this trilogy, and enjoy getting to know three very funny cowboys and their soon to be wives!! I absolutely fell in love with these characters, and hopefully you will as well.

So I read this a couple of years and I liked it. This was during my cowboy reading phase. So I decided to read it again and I probably loved it last year more just because of that phase I had. It's a cute little ranch romance. It's cheesy but what isn't? I feel like sometimes it felt a little bit rushed especially in Eamon and Emily's story. But I guess because there's only 13 chapters and the chapters are short so I guess that's why. That's another thing that I liked about it. It went by really fast in a good way. So if you like fast paced romance, this is the book for you. It has three story's one with each brother. Dalton, Eamon(hope I'm spelling his name right) and Parker. Parker's was probably my favorite just because he's probably the sweetest guy ever. I mean so is Dalton and Eamon but Parker takes the cake. I also liked Jen. I never understood why she would someone who had no vet experience to pretend to be a vet but it worked. Anyways, I enjoyed it. Would I read again? Maybe. When I'm in my cowboy phase again.

Cowboy Love
Set on the family stock horse ranch in south Georgia, three brothers find love, one at a time. I had the pleasure of listening to Dawson McBride's delightful narration of author Vivi Holt's tales of strong men and women of faith. There is also an overriding theme of "expectations." We all have them, for ourselves and our loved ones, even our friends. But at what point do others' expectation override our own--especially parental? Clean and sweet and funny; an absolute pleasure to read and hear. Note: I had read (and reviewed) the volumes out of order and each stands alone, but as a set you get the whole family picture. The set includes:
Dalton (Cotton Tree Ranch #1)
Eamon (Cotton Tree Ranch #2)
Parker (Cotton Tree Ranch #3)

Great series
This family series is awesome! The Williams brothers are the very definition of gallant cowboy heroes. The stories are very true to life and they have real life problems and have to struggle for their livelihood and dreams. All three couples have some struggles and trials to face and overcome. They all pull together and through faith and hard work they make it work. I really like the way the family shows their faith and share it with others. I would recommend this series to any reader who enjoys faith based romances with cowboys and their strong heroines.

Great boxset
Great box set. Love the characters and their stories. Great continuation throughout the series. The brothers are really great and love that they find their forever with three friends. Lots of ups and downs, emotions, and humor. Only complaint is I would have liked an actual indication the ranch is on solid footing, would have liked if Jen's parents and Parker met since they were supposed to be there, and maybe some kind of meeting with Emily's parents.

This was a cute, light read containing no sex scenes or swearing. I found it pretty unrealistic that 3 connected couples would each fall in love and get engaged so quickly and that all 3 women involved would have some kind of family issues. There were also several grammatical mistakes that turned me off. However, all in all it was not an awful read...just not an amazing read. I probably won’t read more from this author.

Three wonderful stories!
I really enjoy getting a boxed set when the stories intersect. Each of these can be read as a standalone but because their stories intersect and build on each other it is super good to have them combined into one volume to read consecutively. These brothers are great and the women are uniquely suited to each. Great reads!

Brothers Three and Love
Thank you for this trilogy of the Williams brothers. I enjoyed the camaraderie between the brothers. The storyline was fast-moving and the characters were fascinating. I especially enjoyed the helping by their neighbors after the storm damage. I love happily ever after endings.

Three for 3
I didn't realize when I read the first book that I would be able to read all three books in succession! Each one as good as the first one, I enjoyed every one and did not want to put it down. I am up late now just to finish the last of the third book before stopping. It was a very good series, I look forward to reading more from this author.

Love the cowboys
3 great romances with cowboys. The gals are pretty awesome too. 3 brothers start a horse ranch when their grandpa will send the tire old ranch to the oldest boy. I like the ups and downs of ranch life along with budding romances. Great collection!

I enjoyed reading this 3 book box set. There was a very good story line with the brothers and the women that fell in love with them and this story proved there didn’t have to be sex for the story to be good. Thank you for that. Great HEA!

Happy and Sad tears
This trilogy is very emotional. Tears of joy will pour out as well as tears of sadness. Make sure to start reading this saga on a weekend, because you can’t put it down.

Cute
It's a cute set of stories involving 3 brothers & 3 best friends. Lots of positive with few minor negatives. Plus this reminds us of how family, friends & neighbors should be.

I liked it kept my interest through & through. Was a little hard to read the the breast cancer part especially since I've been through it as well, although not to the extent 0f the story. But over all I really liked it.

Such a Sweet Story!
I have just finished the 1st of the series, but loved it! Vivi does a wonderful job of writing so I can see the farm and animals, the brothers and their ladies.

This was a cute read. I really enjoyed the friendship and family relationships. The romance was ehh...very hallmark. Cute but not very realistic. The author definitely has a gift for describing the landscape and creating a cozy feeling to her stories. Over all I enjoyed it.

love in triple
I love how three best friends are reunited and how they each find love with one of the three Williams brothers. I love how they honor God and don’t go against HIS word.
