A Triple C Ranch Christmas Wedding : Brotherhood Protectors World
Debra Parmley
Lucy and Jack are engaged and the wedding will be at the ranch. Happy times. What can go wrong?
A sweet romance with a touch of suspense to keep you reading until the end.
Love the characters and how they support each other. A great series.
A Christmas wedding! What fun. Lucy and Jack are a sweet clean cut couple and this is the tale of their nuptials amid various trials and tribulations. I like that the author allows Lucy to have her fears about her hero fiancé. This is a fun western/former military love story. This may be part of a series but does well as a standalone.
Going along with the Christmas in July theme I decided to read a Christmas book by Debra Parmley. So glad I picked this one. Once I picked up the book I just couldn’t put it down. It has everything you would want in a great romance. Cowboys, horse thieves, marines and a wedding.
The bride is always worrying that something is going to go wrong before the wedding. Her fiance is part of the Brotherhood Protectors and anything can happen. She just wants him to be safe and the wedding to go off without a hitch.
If you would like a romance story that will keep you interested from start to finish and asking for more at the end then look no further, this is the book for you.
A Triple C Ranch Christmas Wedding by Debra Parmley
Starts with a dedication and acknowledgements along with a list of the protector series.
Story starts out with Jack and he’s taking on more work to save for a honeymoon. It takes him away from his intended Lucy but she’ll understand.
The story also follows Lucy and I love hearing about her craftiness and design work. After she accepts his proposal we then watch as she prepares for her dream wedding.
She gets Sadie to help and be her matron of honor as Jack is out of town with work. They are able to get the Triple C Ranch and they proceed to decorate it in high fashion for a Christmas wedding.
Love hearing about the people at the ranch as I’ve followed the authors other works. With the medical emergency the whole ranch is out of sorts and before they know what’s going on the horses are all gone, all 10 of them, 2 ready to deliver anytime.
When Jack returns and he is bringing Lucy with him to check on the tree he discovers the horses gone and follows their trail. When they contact the foreman they learn who the cultprit is and with information from him, the roads he probably took.
I never realized that this endeavor could be occurring or ever had, so cruel.
Loved learning more about how the men are able to protect others under their care and more about hroses.Love bachelorette party and the turmoil with Jack’s brother-have a feeling we will hear more from him…
Excerpt from Blind Trust is included. About the author is enclosed along with the original brotherood protector series by Elle James listing at the end.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
