Until he found out he was going to be a daddy! But by then, Janie Dawson refused to marry him. Women! None of the four Randall brothers ever did understand them, and Pete was no exception.
But when Janie found out she was carrying twins, she had no choice but to agree-with her own stipulations, all designed to make their bedroom colder than the frigid Wyoming winter!
Little did Pete know, getting her to marry him was nothing compared to living with her...and keeping his hands off !
Judy Russell Christenberry was born in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she raised in a family of four children with a stay-at-home mom who was a terrific cook and an excellent teacher, where family tradition was concerned. As a child, Judy was surrounded by animals. Her father raised a few head of cattle to keep meat on the table. At one time or another, there were sheep, Thanksgiving turkeys, ducks and dogs, and there were always chickens.
Judy learned the importance of family at an early age. But, Judith's marriage ended in divorce. Yet, with support from her mother and siblings, she and her two daughters discovered their own definition of family. The family comes in all shapes and flavors. What's important isn't the two parents and the 2.5 children, it's love and support. She raised her children, taught during the day, wrote at night, and pursued her dream.
Judy, hasn't always been a writer, but she's always been a dreamer. As a child, for entertainment while doing chores, she told herself stories-she was always the heroine. However, she didn't start writing until she turned thirty-eight, just one year after her father's unexpected death. After this, she realized life promised no guarantees about how much time you have. Why wait to pursue your dreams? She had begun reading Harlequin Romance novels about ten years earlier, so romance writing came naturally. She signs her novels as Judy Christenberry, Judith Christenberry and Judith Stafford.
Over time, Judy realized two central themes dominating her writing: family and small town/country life. Many of her books have cowboy heroes, partly because she read all Zane Grey's romantic versions of the Old West as a teenager, and partly because her parents grew up on farms. The last element that frequently appears in Judy's stories is a dash of humor, just enough to bring a smile to your face. She believes laughter is good medicine and it definitely makes a six-foot hunk even more attractive!
Now, with her daughters pursuing their own dreams, Judy writes full-time and is wrapped up in her storytelling. She lives each new adventure with the vigor of a young girl, still dreaming up tales while washing dishes. She hopes to entertain her readers as much as she entertains herself!
Oh poor Pete he loves Janie and they are having Twins but can he convince her they are meant to be. this is a great story and it fits in nicely with the first in the series.
This is Pete Randall's story of how he finds a bride. Jake didn't set this one up. Janie Dawson has been in love with Pete forever. When they finally become lovers she has hopes of the HEA but Pete doesn't believe in love. He saw what a horrible marriage Jake and Chloe had and wants nothing to do with it. Janie and Pete struggle to find that HEA is harder than it should be. It was a really fun read.
SO AMAZING! A totally relatable story with characters who are just like us. Loved the carry over from the first book with the other family members and their "issues". Most of all it was a tear jerker at the end😢
I really enjoyed this book. In between more intense books I like to read a "no brainer". I mean no disrespect to the author when I say this. What I mean by "no brainer" is something light and enjoyable that doesn't require a lot of thought on my part.
I like that the characters in the book each have their own strength. No whimpering female here. lol
i love this book. when Pete Randal told Janie Dawson he wasn't ready to get married . But when he found she was carrying his child. He was ready but Janie told him she wouldn't marry him. Pete tryed everything to change her mind. Janie didn't change her mind untill she found out she was carrying twins. There love life was off and on. Janie didn't think Pete loved her he only married her because of the babies. But Pete show her she was the only woman for him. I WISH THERE WAS MEN LIKE THE RANDAL I WOULD believe IN LOVE AGAIN.
