Did I not learn the first time?
What the hell is wrong with me?
I’ve already taken in a woman and her kid and look at the disaster that turned into.


I finally got my life back together.
Dedicated to working on a ranch far away from home.
Then the ranch burns down and I’m left without a job, a crying cowgirl, and her nieces and nephew without a home.
So what do I do?
I go and invite them to live at my ranch.
Yes, I’m that damaged that I put myself into the goddamn repeat situation.
To make it worse, this time I get skunk drunk and marry her in vegas before we leave.
We should get an annulment. ASAP.
Or we could prance around like a married couple in front of my family who thinks I’m damaged.
I am damaged.
But they sure as hell don’t need to know it.
Now, wife and kids in tow, I head back home to prove I’m just fine.
What I don’t expect is to fall head over heels for my once boss.

Love to read about strong cowboys, sassy heroines, and HEA? This is the book for you. Fake marriage...check! Family drama...check!

Very short, quick read does not have the time to fully develop the characters but is well-written and pulls heartstrings before achieving the HEA. There were a few moments where the storyline referenced previous books in the series but enough detail is provided to allow the reader to fill in the blanks without feeling lost.

Rodeo Cowboy

I loves this book! Ayla was just what Sammy needed. He went through so much with Silver and Elise. He deserved his own happiness. He got his wish with kids and all! Fantastic book! Fantastic series!

Had me confused. At first but holy only it sure does liven up!

Love the humour, the close knit family. From their nicknames for violin around you learn a new simple language!

Loved it all!

Fake it or Make it

I'm glad he got his own story after being heartbroken in the previous story. Although coming home with a bride and 3 children was a shock to all. While all had different heart breaks to get over, they worked together for all to get their HEA.
