This is a sweet romance between Cass and Mick. What starts as a working relationship gradually turns into so much more. Both having health issues , they help each other even as their love grows. The author once again brings strong characters and weaves an emotional love story with a realistic feel. I loved this book and highly recommend reading.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

Cowgirl Fallin' For The Ranch Hand is a continuation of the Bride's of Miller Ranch, N.M. This book is telling the story of Cassidy and her injuries she obtained in the car wreck from the first book. Cass knows she is in trouble as they rely on all the family to get the work done on the ranch. With Cass down, the work is falling on the others to get it done. She decides that it is time to hire a ranch hand. She hired Mick and he was a good worker until he falls deathly sick and Cass finds him alone. She tried to help him but decides he needs a doctor. Alejandro came and they took turns to care for Mick until his meningitis was over. It made him so much more closer to Cass to know with her disabilities she would drag a bag with her with the things she needed to care for Mick to get them inside the RV while having to use the walker to get up the steps and into the RV. It seems to have paid off as Mick fully recovered and it also made him open up more with the family. I love how the author brings the Miller families together for Christmas at the end of the book giving bits of new info on what is going on with the Miller's of Montana and the Miller's of Texas. This series is like following along with the life of good friends. A must read if you love clean family ranch life sprinkled with romance.

Cassidy Miller had been in a near fatal accident months ago, but she still had months of rehab to go before she would be anywhere normal again. She worried that she was putting much of her ranch work off on her siblings, and her brother, Charlie told her, she could hire someone to take her place, so that was what she did. Mick was passing through town as he had done so many towns in the past, since he started working his way west years ago. He liked this town, and he thought it might be a good place to build up his savings again. He found the perfect job at the Miller Ranch filling in for Cassidy. There was an attraction between them when they first met, but that attraction only grew stronger when several weeks in Mick became very ill and Cassidy took care of him until he recovered. There was nothing smooth about their courtship between her disability, and Mick being a man of color there always seemed to be a road block. Loved the use of Mick's horse, Othello. He added a special touch to the story.

Another Lovely Read

The second book in the Miller Family of New Mexico, didn't fail to please, and I particularly liked the book cover, I thought it quite striking. This story is about Cassidy the second eldest daughter and her continuing and slow rehabilitation following her horrific car accident. Mick the new ranch hand, was delightful but had his own past issues as did Cassidy. Their developing relationship was heart warming but with Mick having hang ups about being an employee it made things a little difficult, but true love won out. There were two characters jostling for centre position in this book and they were Savannah, the Doctors daughter and soon to be member of the family, and Mick's horse Othello, who was almost human despite his huge size.
I would thoroughly recommend this book, I received an ARC copy but have since purchased my own copy. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Cassidy realizes that she can’t perform her tasks around the Miller ranch anymore after she was disabled by a car accident, so she agrees to hire a new ranch hand to help her out and her sister finds Mick in town wandering west with his rescue horse Othello and offers him the job. Mick was a quiet respectful guy who soaked up Cass’ instructions, understanding that she had a certain way of doing things. They connect as friends especially when she takes care him while he’s very ill, but he lets the prejudice of others get in the way of their budding romance. He has his own share of health problems with his heart and type 1 diabetes. They seemed to lean on each other when they each allowed it and were stronger together. This was a sweet romance with funny, emotional, an smile inducing moments.

Cassidy Miller was in a serious car accident and is on a very difficult road to recovery. She can nolonger perform her duties at the Miller ranch and rather than overload her siblings she hires a drifting cowboy temporairly to do them. Mick has been drifting west from the east coast in an RV with his giant horse looking for a place to settle and call home. As Cassidy works through her rehabilitation and insructs Mick in her duties they both have some issues to work through and their attraction grows. When the end of Mick's contract approaches Cassidy realizes she doesn't want him to leave. Can she convince him to stay? Will Mick finally find the home he has been looking for? I recieved an ARC from the author and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Another delightful and beautiful story of the Miller Ranch Brides

This newest book of Cassidy and "Mick" was full of all the highs and lows that the reader has come to enjoy with all of the Miller clans, but especially in this newest series about the N.M. Miller Brides. An excellent storyline that is scripted together so well that it grabs you from the first pages and holds you throughout the entire book. It is also a hard book to put down once you have started reading - so plan accordingly. The characters are diverse and down to earth, regardless of their wealth and status (this bunch of Millers in any case). A very sweet, clean and Christian based read that is suitable for any age. I would recommend this author and this series.

A Delightful and Beautiful story of the Miller Ranch Brides

This newest book of Cassidy and Mick wss full of all the highs and lows that the reader has come to enjoy with all of Miller groups, but especially in this one of the Cowgirl Brides. An excellent storyline that is scripted together so well that it grabs you in the early pages and holds on throughout the entire book. It is another hard book to put down once you start reading, so plan accordingly. The characters are diverse and down to earth with such empathy, regardless of their wealth or status (this bunch of Millers in any case). There were characters from the first book making a strong appearance in this book. A very sweet, clean and Christian based that is suitable for any age IMO.

This is the second book in this series and is best read after the first one as it has a continuation of events. Having gained an understanding of the characters and family dynamics from the first book, I found the plot to be very engaging - Cass, the second oldest sister is struggling after a car accident which happened in the first book. The Miller family are very close-knit and Cass is concerned about how her lack of assistance on the family ranch due to her disabilities is affecting her father and siblings in maintaining the ranch. Enter Mick - a man without family ties who is traveling west in search of something. Cass hires him to take over her duties while she recovers and their relationship becomes more than just employer/employee. What follows is a sweet story that was a pleasure to read and experience!

A wonderful book.
What a gem of a book I love this series and this new addition was grand. Mick and Cassidy’s story is such a heartwarming and sweet tale it was a pure delight to read. Both characters do have their demons and Cassidy’s physical challenges to work through. Can a spunky cowgirl and a traveling cowboy find happiness together? These are strong characters if they were real people they would be people you could admire you want good things for them. This was a wonderful book that I am happy to recommend. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Christmas Cowboy Gift

Miller sister Cass is recovering from a horrendous car accident. Her family is well off but their father and her siblings work hard on their small ranch in New Mexico. In an effort to even out the workload during her recovery, Cass hires Mick Jones, a steadfast but gypsy of a cow hand. Their personalities mesh, even if their backgrounds do not. With the help of Nick's gorgeous draft horse, Othello, it appears there may be a beautiful future for the cowboy without a home and the Miller daughter hoping for a future.

wasn't disappointed with this third series of the Miller books

Another set of the Miller Dynasty this time there sisters with one brother, the sisters are not tiny little women but strong tall women that aren't your typical stereotypes who have to deal with a lot of problems. I read the first two books and was not disappointed, can't wait till the next is out.oh and its clean, you know what I mean

“Cowgirl Fallin’ for the Ranch Hand”Western Romance(Brides of Miller Ranch)

Wasn’t sure I was going to like this book,it started out slow,and didn’t look like it was going to go anywhere.But if you stick with it you’ll find yourself immersed in a really good book.The plot changes and everyone has a role,which they play beautifully.I just wish the cowboy had a little more gumption at times.But if you give it a chance I think you’ll enjoy it too.

Cowgirl Fallin for the Ranch Hand

Cass had a really bad accident so needed lots of help but was also independent and hated having to ask for help, then came Mick and his horse who came from a very poor background and was brought up by his nana and I think it was love at first sight for them, they had lots of hurdles to pass before they could have their HEA. The Miller series is fantastic.

A wonderful story about second chances!

It is hard really tell you about this story because it touches on so many areas but it is so well written that you feel like you are there. But the main characters are from different worlds and they different struggles but from the first meeting they know there is something that connects them. It was a wonderful journey and I am looking another one about The Miller family.

Mixed signals

Good story, but the author seemed to go overboard trying to create feelings of social Injustice and inequality, which comes across as forced and artificial. There is a strange emphasis on muscular and sometimes very physically aggressive female characters. I'm all for strong characters, in every way, but this again seemed to be extreme. Male characters were certainly not dominant in any way resulting in largely passive seeming personalities.

Her sister hires Mick Jones to help on the ranch.Cass shows Mick what she wants him to do. They get to be friends and he gets sick,she cares for him for all the time he's sick. They have feelings for each other but she's his boss. He's black and poor and Cass is white and rich. Great read!

This is my first book in this series and I think you may appreciate it more if you read the first book before this one as the characters are pretty prominent. I definitely enjoyed this book with our mains having physical and emotional barriers to overcome. I look forward to the next book!

Beautiful story

It was just a lovely read. Inspiring how these two people grew together in love. Cassidy was inspirational in always putting everything into getting back on her feet. Mick’s attitude and love for his horse were sweet. Loved the way these two bought out the best in each other.

You have to deal with what life hands you!

An encouraging story, where dealing with a lot of pain and disappointment because of a tragic accident takes so much courage.
While Cassidy was fighting every day to overcome her injuries something wonderful is working it's way into her life.
Great read!

Not Just An Ordinary Ranch Hand

Beautiful love story about Cass and Mick. Events in both their lives that lead to a wonderful healing for them both. The storyline was fast-moving and the many characters were great. The Millers, once again, showing their kindness toward others.

Love is Universal

Natalie Dean skilfully managed to show her readers that love can reach beyond the bonds of racial, cultural, religious and various other limitations. I think that was her intent when she penned her story. It was rather unique.
