You'll get four full-length novels, each featuring a Briscoe brother, feel-good clean romance, and a beautiful Montana mountain setting in this contemporary western boxed set.
Four brothers, one ranch. Can they save it in time?
The Cowboy's Promise
There’s only one way Harley Jenkins can save her job. She must convince Clay Briscoe to sell his family's ranch. The land is in a growing area of Montana, and her land developer boss has his eye on it. But from the first meeting with Clay, it’s apparent he’s not going to make this deal easy.
Clay Briscoe made one promise to his father: that he would keep the family property a working ranch. The first “no” is painless, but Harley is one of the most persistent people he’s ever met. The more he gets to know her, the harder he finds it to let her lose her job.
As Harley spends more time on Cedar Tree Ranch, she begins to question whether saving her job is the right thing to do. How can she talk the brothers into doing something she’s not sure she believes in herself?
The Cowboy's Surprise Bride
Colton Briscoe has a lot riding on his ranch’s Pumpkinfest. He gave up his cushy job at a law firm to help his brothers save the property they’ve always called home. When Mina Baxter, his childhood crush, shows up on her campaign tour, the festival immediately starts getting publicity.
As the underdog in the mayoral election, Mina knows she has some work ahead of her. Her opponent constantly uses the fact that she’s single against her. When coupled with the fact that she returned home soon before announcing she was running, it’s become a problem.
After reuniting with her childhood crush, Colton, Mina and her campaign manager come up with a brilliant idea. Stage a fake wedding with Colton, convince everyone they’re married, and win the mayoral race in a couple of weeks. But neither she nor Colton are prepared to fight the growing attraction between them.
The Cowboy's Rescue
Tinsley Ross only wants to establish herself as the best wedding planner in town. But when she injures herself just weeks before the big day, she worries she’ll lose the gig. It doesn’t help that her injury just happens to be on the property of the groom’s brother.
When Reilly Briscoe wakes up to find his brother’s wedding planner, injured, in his back yard, he has to help her. He’s a gentleman, after all. But the more time he spends with her, the more their differences surface.
They challenge each other to try new things. For Reilly, that means embracing technology. For Tinsley, on the other hand, it means camping and kayaking. With so many differences, how can they ever make a relationship work?
The Cowboy's Secret Baby
When Jared Briscoe arrives home on leave from the military, the last thing he expects to hear is that he'll soon be a father. But his first love Brandi Norcross is very pregnant, and there's no doubt he's the dad.
Brandi isn’t sure what to do about Jared’s return to town. She knows it’s only temporary. He’ll ship out to the military base in a matter of days. Besides, she has problems of her own. Her business, Brandi’s Diner, is struggling to remain profitable with increasing competition from the franchises moving into town.
Jared knows he has to leave soon, but his goal is to help Brandi save the restaurant she loves so much. But as he spends time with her, he finds himself falling in love with her again. Maybe he never stopped loving her.

I read these books individually as they were released, and thoroughly enjoyed them all.
The Cowboy's Promise - If Harley doesn't come back to Seattle with a signed contract, she'll be unemployed. Just one problem - Clay's not selling the ranch. Despite the fact that all of her reasons for selling are based in truth and make perfect business sense, he's not budging. And after spending a few days on the ranch, she realizes why - it's home. She's still going to be jobless, though, I had a little trouble warming up to Harley. She seemed a bit wishy-washy at times, but she won points for her persistence. Clay - love that rancher! And his put-down of her boss - absolutely priceless. The brothers have a strong relationship, and they even got their mother in on their little matchmaking scheme. I enjoyed this book, reading it in one sitting.
The Cowboy's Surprise Bride - Colton left his job at the local law firm, trying to keep the family ranch afloat. They're working hard to make Cedar Tree Pumpkinfest a success. Mina is back in town and running for mayor. She's getting creamed in the polls - her incumbent opponent is making a big deal out of the fact that she's not married, turning that into a "family values" issue. But if she gets married... Colton is on board with a fake marriage, partially because it'll bring publicity to Pumpkinfest. But more important, he's been in love with Mina since she first moved to town. I really enjoyed reading this second book in the series. These two have had the hots for each other for years, but neither has the nerve to say anything out loud. Everyone else sees the attraction between them, though. It's a great story line as well, not just about the romance, but about the brothers figuring out how to run the ranch and make it profitable, with some terrific input from their women. I'm really looking forward to the next book.
The Cowboy's Rescue - Tinsley is the wedding planner for Harley and Clay. While scouting around the ranch for good places to photograph, she slips in the snow in front of Reilly's house. A severe sprain, according to the ER doctor. She can't drive or stay by herself because she's not supposed to be on her foot much. Reilly offers to let her stay with him. They're so different, so agree to swap off choosing things to do - fishing, binge-watching TV. But when his camping trip plans go awry, all bets are off on this budding relationship. They can't avoid each other forever - the wedding is coming up. This was such a sweet book to read, my favorite so far in the series. Tinsley and Reilly are just so cute together, and everyone sees it except them. The wedding mishaps were hilarious but not too serious, and the happy couple will be talking about them forever. The momzilla, though - she's a piece of work with her holier-than-thou attitude, although she did manage to redeem herself somewhat nearer to the end. I'm looking forward to Jared's story.
The Cowboy's Secret Baby - Brandi owns the diner, and also doing catering now. Jared is home on leave, and is amazed at all the changes at the ranch. They dated in high school, but a brief encounter before his last deployment leaves her pregnant. She doesn't want to tell him - he's only home for a short time, and then he'll be off on another adventure, while she has no plans to ever leave Canyon Falls. They're both just so hard-headed and stubborn, secretly in love with the other but afraid to say it. Thank goodness for their friends and family, who know just by looking at them, and aren't afraid to give them a good nudge. I think that this is my favorite book in the series. Before I read the first book, I wasn't sure about it - this was a new-to-me author - but I'm a sucker for a good cowboy story. I've grown to love this family. Their parents raised a great group of brothers. They're close to each other, and although their wives are all so different, they've all embraced the great family atmosphere.
The Cowboy's Promise I love finding new author's books to read and I wasn’t disappointed with The Cowboy’s Promise. Clay is the oldest Briscoe brother and he’s trying to save the Cedar Tree Ranch. Harley Jenkins is sent by her boss, Kurt Cutler, to get them to agree to sell the ranch. Clay and Harley are attracted to each other, but he’s been hurt and she needs his signature to save her job. He tells her the ranch is not for sale. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say I enjoyed reading this clean romance in a small town setting. Grab your copy and look forward to reading about Colton, Jared, and Reilly in the future books.
The Cowboy's Surprise Bride Colton and Mina both had secret crushes on each other in high school. When she returns to Canyon Falls and runs for mayor, her campaign manager comes up with the brilliant idea of her having a fake marriage with Colton. The current mayor is always harping on her being single, so Robby thinks this will be the perfect solution. Colton thinks the publicity will help get Cedar Tree Ranch’s Pumpkin Fest noticed and bring much needed revenue to his family. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say I love the Briscoe brothers and I can’t wait to read more from this series.
The Cowboy's Rescue This story is centered around Reilly and Tinsley. Tinsley is planning the wedding of Harley and Clay. While taking photos at Reilly’s place, she falls and injures her ankle. Really comes to her rescue and offers to let her stay at his house, since she has a hard time getting around and isn’t supposed to drive.

It appears so, as we continue reading. Grab your copy and see what happens in this newest book featuring the Briscoe brothers. I can’t wait to read the next book from this author.

Jared gets a surprise, when he sees Brandi. She’s pregnant. No spoilers, so grab your copy and see if someone that loves to travel and someone that doesn’t want to leave her small town can come to a compromise for their unborn baby.

Well-Written Box Set with a Great Cast of Characters
One thing that I love about series’ box sets is that you can go right from one story to the next without even having to stop to purchase the next one. And this series was so enjoyable that I was very happy to have them all in one collection so I could just keep reading. This is the first I've read of this author, as I rarely read contemporary Western romance; I'm more of a fan of historical Western romance. But I do love box sets as an introduction to an author, so I picked this one up. I'm very glad I did. There are four stories in this collection about four brothers who own a ranch; each brother gets his own story. There's an overarching theme of saving the ranch, especially seen in the first two books, the first where the brothers are approached by a land agent who wants to buy the property as the area is becoming more and more developed and the second story where they're putting on a big fall festival as part of trying to make the ranch more profitable. Except for the first one, the romances explored familiar romantic tropes, like a fake marriage (book two), opposites attract (book 3), and a second chance at love/secret baby (book 4). The first book's trope, as it were, borders on enemies to lovers, but it's not quite as strong as that; for much of the book, the hero and heroine don't see eye-to-eye on what they want or need the ranch’s future to be. The author has a smooth writing style that pulled me right in from the first book and kept me reading longer than I should have in one sitting! In all these books, she has created believable and likable characters, giving them unique voices, motivations, goals, and struggles. This collection was a pure delight to read. If you enjoy well-written western contemporary romance, you will most likely enjoy this box set as much as I did.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
Book #1 This is a enjoyable read with Harley who works for a man who wants to buy the family ranch that belongs to Clay and his brothers but the more time she spends with Clay at the ranch she feels like she just may be at home with him. It was fun reading how their relationship developed and this is a well written book with great characters. Book #2 This is a second chance romance/fake marriage for Mina and Colton. They will both benefit from their fake marriage as she is running for mayor and his family ranch could use the publicity. Enjoyed reading their sweet story and the characters are well developed and so real. Book #3 Tinsley and Rielly meet when she is the wedding planner for his brother and fiancee. This is a opposites attract romance which is both fun and romantic. Well written with some great characters. Book #4 Jared and Brandi were sweethearts in high school until he broke up with her and joined the military. The last time he was home on leave she decides to tell him that she is in love with him and ends up spending the night with him only to discover that she is pregnant. Brandi is a strong woman so she never tells anyone who the father is knowing she can raise a baby on her own. Next time he comes home he goes into her diner in town to pickup food for his brothers and their family. Loved how protective of Brandi he is and jumps in to help her along with his family. Sweet second chance romance with good characters.
Promise: I enjoyed this introduction to this family, town, and series. I actually started this series with book 4, through I’d definitely advocate reading them in order. I loved the characters and the interaction with family -both the tension and the love. I’m looking forward to seeing where everything goes in the next book.
Surprise Bride: I enjoyed these characters and their times together. The political element was very well done. It was an enjoyable fake relationship romance.
Rescue: I liked this book. With the element of an injury and two opposites working together, all of the wedding business, and a momzilla.. I really liked it and all the time spent with the previous books characters.
Secret Baby: This is my first book by this author and I loved this high school sweethearts, military, second chance, smallish town romance. The characters were all amazing as their stories intertwined. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to more.

Each story is wonderful. These stories are just as beautiful as the mountains in Montana go to 4th July pass for a real thrill. All the books are set on a ranch with four brothers as main characters. The first book has Clay up against Harley they both have a different idea about the ranch. Colton gives up his practice to help save the ranch but a childhood crush shows back up an idea to help Mina win an election that may not turn out the way these two think. In The Cowboy’s Rescue has Reilly and Tinsley going head to head this was a fun read and finally Jared and Brandi’s story. Each story is wonderful it is a great collection you would be proud to own. I hope you check it out. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
The Briscoe brothers finally found a true purpose on the family ranch as well as were able to mend their relationships between each other, thanks to the women in their lives. I admired the courage they had to speak about hurts that ran deep along with their willingness to admit where they went wrong and work on getting better. They developed into a close-knit family that one longs to be a part of, full of love and supportive of each other’s dreams. The author was able to create four completely different characters, who all had the same basic issue (wanted to please their father), that were fascinating in their development, which made all the books in the series keeping my interest.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is not the book I read. But it is the same name but by a different author. The one I read is by liz Isaacson. They are completely different books. But in order to get them to be on Goodreads I had to put this one in my Goodreads books.
This book was very good and I enjoyed it enough to get thr next one in the series. I have been able toget all of the books from Kindle Unlimited so far. This one was about Scarlett and Hudson falling in love and getting married on the Last Chance Ranch. Scarlett owns the ranch and Husdon comes to the ranch to work for her on some of the vehicles she has on the farm.
They fall in love by working together and healing their broken hearts from their first marriages.

This is a must read series. It is a sweet clean romance. Each story is about a brother, their goals and hopes to make the ranch a profitable business, the amazing woman that they meet and fall in love with. Each brother is so different, from serious Clay to fun loving Reilly, Colton the number cruncher to Jared, who isn't really sure where he fits in the family so he joins the military. I loved the ideas they came up with, hay rides to event planning in the barn. There is so many happy ever afters you start to wish there was more brothers.
All four books had clean, good stories. Each story is based on one of the Briscoe brothers. I love how each brother makes their own story so realistic. You feel their pain, happiness, and sorrows. I also like how you don’t have to read them in order. The story is consistent.
I love the way environment and how each story is so easy to imagine.
