EMMA, ANNABELL, AND LIZZIE

The second story in the Big G Ranch series will include many people from book one and add several new people and situations. The return of Emma and a small child will bring upset to many people—and incorrect assumptions. The story will also have a brother and sister making amends and a chance to become friends. For two twin brothers, secrets of their past must be sorted out before they can find happiness. The future of these people is all tied together within the pages of this tale.
A new baby will bring much happiness to the Garrison family. There is also sadness in Laura that she hasn’t become pregnant.

“This is a big day for the Garrison family. I want to be right here with you.”

The story will have three people traveling by train and arriving in the same area of Oklahoma. A friendship has formed between Annabelle, who will see her cousin, Conrad, who will make amends with his sister, and Sarah, a mail-order bride.

The story is full of mystery, suspense, angst, danger, dominant men, and feisty women. It will have plenty of issues with secrets of the past coming to light. I liked the characters, the interactions, and the situations. Yet, the story is extremely busy and does jump around, making it sometimes confusing to keep up with the characters and what is happening. Too often, I would have to go back and re-read a section because it jumped to another group of people and situations.
Emma, her son, Andrew, will begin a new chapter in their life, involving Claude. Secrets of the past have come face to face with the present and could determine their future.

“You know I am older than you. Your future husband is forty. Old enough to know what’s important, young enough to ensure he keeps it.”

Clyde will catch Annabelle snooping where she doesn’t belong, overhearing a private conversation, and take her to task. After spanking her, he decides to court her.

Conrad has decided to start over and is hoping it will be near his sister. Selling off the family business and home, he is now looking at new ventures in oil. Life out west is looking like a chance for new beginnings and mending issues.

The good, the bad, and the ugly all have their roles, and the future will be determined for many people. Will friendships be destroyed or bonded even more? The story will have a mystery that will involve Claude and Clyde and somehow tie in a woman named Elizabeth. When they all disappear, a young cowhand, Floyd, convinces Annabelle and Emma that he can help. Add a secret trip, not knowing what could happen, and how the men feel when they make it to Texas adds to this tale.

“Ye who have little faith. I know their plan if this ever came about. They are in Texas.”

The story is the second in a new series, and while not actually a cliffhanger, it does end with a surprise. The story has several spanking and mild intimacy scenes.

“The Big G encompassed so much as it expanded. So much life. So much love.”

Great Western.

This is the second book of the series. I loved the first book and the adventure in this book lived up to expectations. Loved Emma and Annabelle stories. Claude and Clyde are the handsome brothers who fall for them, but they have secrets. The storyline and characters are great. There is the familiarity of the characters in book one as they pop in and out of story, too. So entertaining!

This was an entertaining read with likeable characters. I had read the first in the series so it was good to catch up with those characters. Emma is back and with her son, Andrew. There are a number of explanations to be given, not only to Andrew’s father. Claude and Clyde, work on the ranch but they have secrets that could cause problems. There are a number of romances in this story and as not everything is resolved, I’m assuming there will be another book in the series. I received a copy via Booksprout and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A wild west read that will simply blow your socks off
Two brothers have been working on the Big G ranch for a number of years and they have now suddenly been thrown into total disarray with the arrival of two women on the stage coach. Emma has returned home after caring for her aunt for over four years she now has returned home with her young son Andrew who is just over four years old.
When Emma introduces her son to his father Claude is totally surprised thinking that she had simply not wanted to return, finding out that he is in fact father to such a wonderful little boy is simply amazing and he also has never stopped loving the woman he had only spent one night with and a son had been the result.
Annabelle had been fleeing from her home after her fiancé had decided he was going to marry someone else so she had decided to visit her cousin and her family, she is surprised at how quickly she falls in love with the ranch and the area in general and like Emma decides she will stay.
Clyde who also works at the Big G ranch catches Annabelle snooping and in time honoured fashion takes her over his knee and punishes her backside, from this moment on the rather quiet couple are drawn together and she decides that she likes this quiet hard-working rancher.
When the two women discover that their men seem to be in some sort of trouble, they both take it upon themselves to ride to Texas and find out what is happening and help them however they can.
This is a wonderful read it holds your attention fully

Bumbling broncos boo! This extremely talented, immensely gifted and sensational duo breaks the mold, cracks the wheel and has this baby banging harder than a cheap screen door, unleashing all the sentiment, nuance and essence, mixing it up with all the moxie, mettle and sass, bursting this baby to staggering heights. Clearing hurdles and swirling hoops with this incredibly tumultuous, deliciously delectable, sinfully tantalizing, skillfully bewitching, rock-my-world piece of wonder, spinning all the riveting drama, gripping intrigue, nailbiting danger, escalating suspense and intense situations ensue, laying out all the chills, frills and overwhelming feels, blasting those churning emotions into play front and center, revving up the exuberance and vigor, jetting this jewel to life spectacularly.

The well rounded scenes are vividly descriptive with colorful details that blend and flow, creating a majestic backdrop that's so rich and lively it feels as though you're part of the story instead of on the sidelines, feeling everything the characters feel. Exceptional job guy, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.

Emma has decided to come back to Oklahoma to seek out her ex-fiancé and to tell Claude that he is a father. They are the first couple in this book. Next, Annabelle has decided to come live with her cousin, Mary Catherine because the man who was courting her decided to marry someone else. Annabelle meets Claude's twin Clyde and he decides to court Annabelle and they are the second couple in the story. There are some abrupt changes from one couple to another that made me have to go back to figure out where I lost the train of the story. I did enjoy the story and I'm looking forward to the nexgt book.

Good western.
This is two stories in one has come back to do what was right and yes she is given a very hard time. Emma is a very stubborn woman but Claude will put her straight. Annabelle has come in hopes of a new life and she just might get that with Clyde. In case you are wondering Claude and Clyde are twin brothers and these guys have one huge secret. I found that I enjoyed this book a great deal it had action, mystery, and great suspense made it an awesome piece. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Life in the historical West is hard when you're a woman. As an unmarried mother, there is a lot of judgement but Emma holds her own and faces her past to start her future with a clean slate with twin brother Claude. Annabelle is wanting a new start and she gets it with Clyde who does not let nosiness go without consequences. Friendships, family, adventure, a bit of mystery and suspense makes this an easy to read book where you're swept away.

Loved the book it was great, the story was written well and the characters were interesting. This story was about Claude and his twin Clyde they have secrets. Claude was dating Annabelle but when his fiancee comes back in his life with his child in tow he left Anna Elle and was engaged to Emma again. Clyde then started courting Annabelle. Is everyone happy with the arrangement.

This is one story worth reading. It has a good storyline and fabulous characters. There were some limited +age... scenes but nothing too explicit just exact for this story. I can easily say that I loved to read this story and find that it is well worthy of the fabulous four stories that I am handing out here. I hope you will enjoy it too.

Good story but there were so many characters, it was hard to keep who was related to whom straight, especially at the beginning. The threads came together and the questions were mostly answered. The writing style suited the period the story took place in.
