Carter

Bachelors and Babies #3

by Cynthia Woolf

Carter Monroe woke on a normal day or so he thought. Then he found a baby in a basket on his front porch with a note stating he was the father. That was impossible and yet the baby’s mama had been sure. With no way to find the mother, he takes the responsibility of raising the little girl, Lanie, as his daughter.
Lanie needed everything. While at the mercantile he meets beautiful Samantha Wallace who informs him she is his mail-order bride, a bride he knows nothing about. When he sees her, mistake or not, he knows he can never let her go.
What is going on? A baby and a bride all on the same day? Was someone playing tricks on him or was he just having a really strange day?

About the author

Cynthia Woolf is the USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author of eighty-five works of romance fiction. Comprising sixty-six historical western romances, ten contemporary romance novels, two contemporary romance novellas, one historical western romance novella, and six sci-fi space opera romances, which she calls westerns in space. Along with these books, she has also published twelve boxed sets of her books and two short stories.

Cynthia loves writing and reading romance. Her first western romance, Tame A Wild Heart, was inspired by the story her mother told her of meeting Cynthia's father on a ranch in Creede, Colorado. Although Tame A Wild Heart takes place in Creede, that is the only similarity between the stories. Her father was a cowboy, not a bounty hunter, and her mother was a nursemaid (called a nanny now), not the ranch owner.

Cynthia credits her wonderfully supportive husband, Jim, and her great critique partners for saving her sanity and allowing her to explore her creativity.

SECOND CHANCES AND HAPPINESS

While the story is part of the Bachelors and Babies series, it is a stand-alone story. For Carter Monroe, he is having the strangest day. First, to find a baby left on his porch with a note that Lanie is his daughter, knowing that it is impossible, he quickly decides to keep her. Going into town to buy supplies, he will run into a woman at the mercantile who claims she is his mail-order bride. From bachelor to husband and father in one day, life is full of surprises. The story is a clean historical western with a happily ever after ending.

Anne-Marie Sanderson has decided to take her own fate into her hands rather than accept that she must marry Thurston Martin, a man who is sadistic and has been harming her. Without the support of her parents, she will apply as a mail order bride and communicating with a man, Carter Monroe in Golden, Colorado. As the situation with Thurston escalates, without waiting, she will leave St. Louis and head to Golden and her future.

The plot will have Anne-Marie changing her name to Samantha Wallace, hoping to keep her father and Thurston off her trail. She will arrive in Golden and luck out on running into Carter at the mercantile. What a shock for both of them to learn that he didn’t send her the letters, nor was looking for a bride, but with the circumstances of baby Lanie, marriage to Samantha could be a blessing in disguise. But can Samantha accept his terms that he will be good to her, provide for her and any other children, but he will never be able to love her?

“Life can be so crazy, and yet you come out just where you’re supposed to be.”

“You believe my ranch is where you’re supposed to be? I guess that’s true then because I think you’re where you should be as well.”

Thurston is a man determined to own Anne-Marie and he doesn’t care that she is with Carter or married to him, she belongs to him. He will go to whatever measures necessary to have her back, and she will pay for leaving him. He doesn’t care who is hurt in the process, and he is willing to pay dearly to hire outlaws to assist him.

Carter and Samantha are great parents for Lanie and even all the ranch hands are besotted with the little girl. When the threat of Thurston is apparent, Carter will step of measure around the ranch to keep the girls safe, but will that be enough? The story takes on life and death situations, and it is a battle of good versus evil. But what about love—can they be happy with a marriage of convenience without love?

“She was thankful every day for the advertisement that brought her out to the frontier and into the arms of strangers.”

For Carter Monroe life was going well; that is until there was a knock at his door. His life was changed forever. Samantha Wallace is running from her past. She decides becoming a mail-order bride will keep her from harm. Little did she know walking into a mercantile would change her life forever.

This is the first book in the Bachelor’s and Brides series that I have read. Although the plot is the typical woman in distress, I truly enjoyed the story and main characters. Carter could have easily walked away from his new wife and daughter, but he embraced change with a positive attitude. I liked Samantha for her courage. She came from a horrible environment and threw herself selflessly into her new family.

I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in this series. Please note that there is adult situation but are written with class.

I loved this story! Seriously when I started I had no idea how it would grab my heart but it did from the first chapter. Carter owned a ranch and had a lot of ranch hands but had lost his wife a few years back. Of all things to happen to him, one morning he opened the front door and there was a baby on his doorstep with a not that he was the father. Of course he couldn't be but he decided at that moment he would take care of that child. He went to town to get some supplies and ran into Samantha Wallace who said she was his mail order bride. What? He had not ordered one! But she took hold of the child and that was that.
This story just has so much heart, mixed with a little suspense and a spurned fiance of Samantha's. A few ups and downs but overall I charmed by the entire premise and all the ranch hands who loved the baby. A feel good story that gave me hours of please that I would highly recommend! What a great series!

Carter by Cynthia Woolf is book 3 of Bachelors & Babies. This is Carter Monroe and Samantha Wallace's story as well as a little baby girl that was abandoned on Carter's doorstep. Carter 's day is unusual and the complications keep coming for away. He started a day with no baby and no bride and ended it with a baby and a mail-order bride that he had not ordered. Cynthia Woolf gives you enough details o make you root for both of them and the baby. She does a good job of showing how life can change in an instance. I enjoyed the complications from Samantha's former fiance. This story keeps your interest and makes you want the next story in the series. Cynthia Woolf is one of my go to authors and she continues to make her stories enjoyable.

A great story

Carter- owns ranch and found a baby on his front door.
Anne-Marie/Samantha- running away from an abusive fiance
I enjoyed reading this engaging story that is fantastically written with charismatic characters. Their story has a wonderfully sweet HEA!

[Dorothy Roller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, I love this story, the third book in the multi author Bachelors and Babies series.
Carter sounds like the perfect man to fall in love with.
He also carries a past.
Samantha comes as his mail order bride in Golden City, CO Territory. She is escaping the abusive man she was supposed to marry.
When Carter opens his door and finds a baby in a wicker basket on his door with a not saying this is his child, he knows for sure that isn’t possible. He goes into town to buy what he will need, he thinks, to take care of her but also happens upon the mail order bride he did not order.

This is a fun, delightful, sometimes light and other times terrifying story with secrets on both sides and wanting.
All the ranch hands fall in love with the baby left on his step and this woman he brings home suddenly as his wife. Will it all work out?
You have to read it to find out and relish in this delightful story.
I highly recommend this story.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This book is Cynthia Woolf’s contribution to the “Bachelors and Babies” series. Even though this is the third book in the series, Carter can easily be read without having read the first two books.

This book is the fascinating story about Carter, a widower who owns a large ranch in the Colorado Territory. In the first chapter, Carter discovers an abandoned baby on his doorstep. The attached letter claims Lainie is Carter’s daughter and is four months old. Even though Carter knows for a fact that the baby isn’t his, he plans to keep her.

When Carter goes into town to buy the necessities for a young baby girl, he meets Samantha. Samantha has left her family because she is running away from a forced marriage to an abusive man. She is in the Colorado Territory to meet her mail order husband-to-be Carter Monroe, who just happens to be in town at the same time.

As it turns out, Carter does not know who Samantha is since he was not the one who had written to her. However, since Carter has no idea how to take care of his new baby, and could use someone to take care of his house as well as to cook for the men who work and live on his ranch, he marries Samantha.

I love Samantha, the main character. She is a strong-minded, stubborn independent woman who does not let any obstacle stand in her way. Even though she is city born, there is no task too hard or too big for her to take on.

Carter is a widower who swears that he will never fall in love again. But even his absolute certainty cannot withstand the strength of Samantha’s love.

The cruel men in this story have no conscience and no humanity. They do not care what happens to anyone else but themselves. One of them is Samantha’s ex-fiancé. He will do anything, no matter how evil, to force her to come back and marry him. There is also another villain who has a complicated connection to Carter’s first wife.

This story is a fascinating page-turner as Carter, Samantha and Lainie are forced to defend themselves on all sides from these evil men - a prime example of “good vs. evil.”

Marriage of convenience or perfect match?

I ran across this book today and after reading the blurb about the book decided to grab it. Some reviews made it sound a bit scary with suspense and drama. While the book did have those I didn’t feel it was scary. It was a good storyline although I felt some of the timelines didn’t quite match up which was confusing. Although I could see the some of the book being realistic there were a few things that didn’t ring as realistic. I loved the devotion they had to raising someone else’s baby but it bothered me a bit how they kept saying they would fight to keep the child when they first met her. A bond between a baby and caregiver even not biological would be strong but the baby was obviously well cared for for four months. That doesn’t seem like the mother didn’t care for the child. Had the mother come back in a reasonable amount of time I think the mother should have had the right to getting her child back. The father not so much. He ran off at the idea of being the father and had no part in the child’s life. This book was listed as clean. Although the sex scenes were fade out they weren’t exactly behind closed doors. Even if the partners were married. There was a lot of talk of desire. Which I admit the idea of getting two near strangers to work out a marriage and all that goes with it is a bit intriguing but I would have liked just a bit less discussion about it. All in all I would say this was a fun story that had love, suspense, and a bit of mystery.

Men are so stubborn and Cater is no different. Good thing Samantha is patient.
We first meet Carter when someone is riding away from his house and he finds a baby at his door. He is totally baffled and the note with the baby has him scratching his head. The note says the baby is his, but he has not been with a woman since he lost his wife 2 years ago. Not sure what else to do he goes to town to get what he will need for the baby (not that he knows what that is). While at the store he meets a woman named Samantha that clams to be his mail order bride, he never wrote or asked for one. She shows him the letters, while she helps with the baby. An idea forms in his head. He will marry her, and she can take care of the baby.
Samantha is running from an engagement that she doesn’t want to what she thinks is a man that she has been writing with as his mail order bride. When she gets there, he does offer marriage but tells her he will never love her. He also wants her to care for a baby that he says isn’t his but was left at his door. She agrees and hopes he past is behind her.
Now they will learn about each other and see where this marriage will go. Will Cater ever love Samantha? Can she live in a marriage that has no love?

[Vicki Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an enjoyable read! This is my first book in this particular series by this author and I was very impressed. I have read the Oregon Trail Brides series by her, but this was a definite step up in a story for my reading pleasure. Carter starts off his normal day by finding a basket with a baby on his front porch! (with a note saying this is his daughter Lanie). While in town shopping for "Lanie" (his previous find) he meets a newcomer to town - Samantha- a mail order bride who has corresponded with CARTER for several months! Back up and rewind! First a baby and now a bride?? Someone is using his name and Samantha isn't actually Anne Marie's birth name. And the story just escalates from there. A special baby, ranch hands, gun fights, are just some of the action and adventure waiting for the reader in this fun book. A clean, action packed, sweet romance that I would recommend.

I received an ARC copy of this book. This is my voluntary, honest and completely personal review.
VICKI FROM WYOMING

[Sherry Stephens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Anne Marie knew she had to run away from her current life, and snuck out during the night. Her father had promised her to a worthless man. She had been able to drag the engagement out for two years, but after he beat her yet again, she knew she had to get out of their. She had secretly answered a mail order bride advertisement and got on the train in the evening while her parents were away. She thought by going all the way to Colorado neither her parents or fiance' would come looking for her. Little did she know that the letters she got from the mail order ad were not actially written by the man who signed them. Upon her arrival he was stunned to find out and also find out a baby had been left on his doorstep that same morning. This book keeps you wondering if things will work out or if her past life will ever catch up to her. Can she live happily ever after or be haunted/ hunted by the past. Hang on for the exciting ride.

[SKM · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read.

In one day, Carter has a baby dropped off at his house with a note claiming she's his (she isn't biologically) then meets his mail-order-bride (who he didn't send for). Carter and Samantha (who's running for her life from an evil fiancee) marry to give Lanie the family she deserves.

In order to find their happily ever after, Carter and Samantha have to outsmart her ex, stay alive, and allow the dead to remain dead. Can they succeed, do they get their HEA, does Lanie's biological parents return; all will be answered, but not in my review. Trust me, read the book, you will not be let down. It's a great read and goes fairly quickly.

Cynthia Woolf is one of my go to writers. I can honestly say that I haven't read a book of hers that has disappointed. She is a wonderful author who writes entertaining and heartfelt stories.

I received an ARC of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review.

[Margaret Watkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

A charming, sweet romance in which Carter is the hero that has been duped into not only being a father but also a husband. Finding Lanie on his doorstep, Carter is astounded when he goes to the mercantile to purchase items she may need, only to find a mail order bride waiting for him, one that he has not requested. Samantha has taken her courage in her hands to leave her home and travel to her new home as a mail-order bride, only to find that Carter is not actually expecting her. However, baby Lanie's plight touches her at a deep level and Samantha steps into the breach. When the danger she left behind catches up with her, Carter finds that he can no longer sit on the fence but has to make a decision. The novel is sweet and clean and ticks all the blocks for a good romance. Although part of a series, this book is nevertheless a standalone and comes to a happy close. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

[Jill · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book by Cynthia Woolf. It was a great story about how to deal when life throws you major curve balls! Poor Carter found himself a father and a husband all within the span of a few hours with no prior plans for either! After finding a baby on his doorstep with a note attached stating that he was the father, Carter heads to the general store to take care of the baby's immediate needs - food and clothing. While there, he discovers that someone (probably the real father of the baby) has been impersonating him and has ordered a bride! What follows is a an exciting adventure of two adults who decide to commit to each other and the baby to make themselves into a real family. Ms. Woolf writes with much description and certainly knows how to hook the reader and keep him/her interested! From a surprise bride and baby to a life-threatening gunfight, this book contains plenty of adventure to please!

Great Series

This has been a great series! While you have different authors for each book, all of the books are about these single men who are going on with their own lives, and BAM, their lives are never going to be the same again. By having different authors it made it more interesting because each books writer has their own writing style, views and life experiences, which I believe affects each authors writing, so even though it's a series it has more depth to each book, whereas a series that had the same author for each book would not have as much depth that we see in this series. Only have 2 books left in this series and I believe it may be difficult for me to find my next read because this series will be difficult to transition to another series that will be even half as good.

[Snickerfritz · Rating 2 out of 5]

Implausible plot

The reason I gave it two stars is because the book provided me an escape from boredom, that’s it. The plot was implausible. The bad guys used the same route to get to the good guys every single time. The same bad guys were told over and over again to leave, as if that would be effective against evil people who want you dead. The sheriff was hardly ever consulted, EVEN when the good guys knew where and when the bad guys would strike. Brand new mother’s don’t have regular milk letdowns until 2-3 days postpartum. A physically abusive man doesn’t teach his “punching bag” how to shoot. These are just a few of the inconsistencies. I wish this series were written by a singe author as some of the books are well written and some are not.

[Lisa Montgomery · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have not read much my this author previously. I am likely to try another one of her tales before deciding whether to continue to read her or not. Ms. Woolf appears to use "coincidence" to promote the story, which is not a problem, but a few of the points were "giant leaps" to push the story forward. That is why I wish to read more from her.
I was disappointed in the number of typos I discovered. Here are a few:
"wh loved one another"
"light coming though the window"
"Sh smiled"
"She slept though the entire..."
"He muscular naked chest"
"Cocking an eyebrow and hand still lingering at her waist, he cocked an eyebrow."
"hold up her bloomers and the spread the top"
"centered the beginning one of the ranch hands"
"made the incisions in Carters shoulder"

Anne-Marie changes her name and hops a train to Golden, CO to escape her abusive ex-fiancé and marry the man she has been corresponding with as a mail-order bride. Carter is a hard-working, broken-hearted rancher who suddenly finds not only a baby on his doorstep, but a mail-order bride waiting for him in town. I enjoyed reading about how these two damaged people make a marriage between them work, plus form a family with the baby left in their care, while dealing with the abusive ex-fiancé and couple of other surprises.

It is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at times. He finds a baby he doesn't even know he has on his porch that has a note that says it is his. Then he goes to the local mercantile and finds out he has a bride that he didn't know he had. Talk about a weird day. He was probably thinking some wake me up. But being he needs someone to help him take care of the baby he marries her but says he can never love her. Well never say never. Life has a way of sneaking up on you and showing you that you are wrong. Loved it and couldn't put it down. One of those reads you hate to see end. I received this review copy and review it.

Anne-Marie had to escape her fiancé and father. She changed her name to Samantha and signed up as a mail order bride. I really felt bad how her father and fiancé treated her. Cater has two surprises one day, a baby left on his front step and a mail order bride he didn’t know about. It was great to see Carter and Samantha love the little girl. The baby had the whole ranch wrapped around her finger. Samantha has danger follow her which makes for some suspense. I loved the book, and strongly encourage you to read the book.

Brought out west under false pretences, Samantha was fleeing from her past. All of a sudden her future was uncertain. She finds herself facing a tall handsome cowboy who has just had a baby dropped off on his doorstep and literally falls in love with them both within the first few moments. Her past follows her and her new husband has to deal with it before he loses his new family but the rewards are worth it.
Another mail-order bride book with a heart-warming ending. Cynthia Woolf’s specialty.

Carter becomes a husband and a father on one day. When he discovers a baby on his porch he knows he isn’t the birth father but he still wants to raise her. When he comes in town he finds a Samantha who tell him she’s his mail order bride, but he didn’t send for her. But he needs her now. Can this combined family live a happy life? Or will the reason that she left home only bring trouble?
I really enjoyed this story, the way the main characters are immediately taken by Lanie, and not just them but also all the men on the ranch. A fun story in this series.

Sweet and entertaining romantic historical western with Mail Order Brides. The blurb gives a nice introduction to the story bust as always Ms. Woolf weaves a sweet and entertaining book that has some suspense and intrigue. Carter is a bachelor who finds a baby on his stoop. His day doesn’t end there. Imagine going into a mercantile to get supplies to find a mail order bride you didn’t order. I enjoyed this story. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by Ms. Woolf.

Cynthia Woolf always brings strong characters and this book was no exception. In spite having an infant and mail order bride showing up claiming to be his, Carter keeps his head and solves the problem. Samantha/Anne-Marie also shows spunk and determination. She makes the best of an unexpected situation. Together they can face the world. I would have loved to have seen those cowboys fall in love with Lanie. This was a totally enjoyable book.
