4 Brides for 4 Brothers #4
Cowboy Surrender (Brides for Brothers, #4)
How to match a matchmaker...
Redheads raiding his bunk, blondes batting eyelashes, brunettes bearing food...One by one they came after Jake Randall. Now, Jake had been known to stare down a charging bull at three paces, but these husband-hunting females made him turn tail and run!
But the only way he could outrun his newly married, matchmaking brothers was to find a girlfriend himself. A PRETEND girlfriend. And there was only one female he knew he'd be safe with-ranch vet B.J. Anderson. He'd worked alongside her for months. Heck, he'd even taught her son to rope a calf. Surely she'd save him from marriage and fatherhood.
And then Jake made one tactical error: To seal their bargain, he kissed her.....

About the author
Judy Christenberry
255 books70 followersJudy 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 boy, where to start. Overly precocious plot moppet? Check. Matchmaking family? Check. . I didn't actually throw this at the wall, but as I was typing up the quotes I paused at, I really wanted to. Definitely not for me. Maybe not for anyone in this, the year 2019?

Absolutely the best! The last Randall brother fell and man did he fall hard! Of course there were obstacles and interference but it ended up just as it should have.

February 7, 2018I think is the best book. Poor Jake didn't know what to think when his sister in laws try his own matchmaking on him .To find Jake a wife. When he talk ranch vet B.J. Anderson to be his pretend girlfriend. B.J. had a young son that Jake had a strong bond with. I LOVE WHEN THEY FELLED IN LOVE AND GOT MARRYED.
