So, I really couldn’t put this book down. My housework and regular work didn’t get done until I was done with this book. The chemistry between these characters was smokin! I fell in love with them from the start and was hollering at my kindle at every turn. Very good book!! Can’t wait for the rest of this series!
London is a country girl she feels at home in jeans and boots. She and her two sisters are running a ranch when their daddy dies. The men on the ranch doesn’t think women can run a ranch. London shows them age is just as tough as the men she falls for the sheriff Braden. This a great love story drama and a very close family.
I highly recommend this A Great start to a great series.
Another great novel set in Central Florida, where Danielle has mixed in a mystery. The sexy hero respects women and is hot to boot. Steamy all the way through.
I absolutely loved this book and the start of this series! I was a page-turner that I could NOT put down. It was refreshing and very, very steamy!!
Definitely a must read for book lovers!!
Pure and beautiful love story.
Norman’s writing makes my day. She has the perfected the recipe for the PERFECT book! This book has everything you need, steam, humor and characters you cannot help but love. I certainly fell in love with this author and will be looking for more from her!!
Alright first thing is first, I love the names of the three sisters, the fact they are all named after places just amuses me so much. London, Paris and Holland, I loved how strong and independent these girls were when it came to running their father’s farm after he died. London really was funny at times I loved the sarcasm in the novel it was so funny, I just love sassy characters and London, Paris, Holland and Braden all had that sarcasm and I bloody love it.
Braden and London are so funny, I love their relationship, at times I did think London spent so much time pushing Braden away rather than using him when they needed help. Especially when mysterious things were happening to the farm, like the fire amongst other things. It would have been nice for London to accept help straight away rather than being picky about who was helping her.
Ryan is someone who helps out on the farm from the moment he appeared in this book I didn’t like him. I didn’t trust him at all. Turns out I was right! I didn’t want to say much more than that just know I was right and when you read the book it’ll make sense. Ryan was a right dickhead and he also was very chauvinistic and believed that London couldn’t look after the farm without his help. He was a real twat. So yes my dislike turned out to be given, I was right about the thing! (Read and you’ll know).
The story was very fast paced. So my thing with this story is that I liked it but I didn’t love it. Like I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others and it just didn’t connect with me on any level.
I really enjoyed this emotional read. A powerful storyline, complex, likable characters and a touch of danger, keep you engaged and entertained. I love London. She is sassy, strong and determined, but she also has a soft center that is vulnerable and insecure. Braden is just amazing. Strong, protective, sweet and caring. He has a big battle to fight though to convince London of his feelings for her, both now and from their shared past. A great romantic read with a touch of suspense.
I really enjoyed London’s character and found her to be quite humorous at times. I absolutely loved the first bar scene! I thought Braden was very swoon-worthy. While most of the elements of the story weren’t much of a shocker for me, there was one bit near the end that I didn’t see coming.
This was a great cowboy romance and I’d definitely recommend it to avid readers of cowboy romance.
This was my first book by this author, but won’t be the last.
Danielle Norman delivers again with this one. If you have read any of her books you are familiar with how she writes feisty strong heroines. I love that. Stetson is no different. You have the Kelly sisters. All strong, feisty and determined. I love how close Paris, Holland and London are. They are fierce sister trio taking over the family cattle ranch and stables. In Stetson the focus is on London and her old high school crush Braden. I love how London is driven to make the ranch work and takes no nonsense from anyone. It is apparent from the moment London and Braden reunite that sparks are flying left and right. Braden is sweet and sexy and I love that he doesn’t just see London’s work as mans work. As London’s world starts to fall apart Braden is right there besides her. These two will make you swoon for sure. Stetson will keep you on your toes and delivers a hell of what I hope is just a beginning to a new series. I want more of the Kelly sisters. SO GOOD.
This is the first book in a new series and it is such a good start with strong female leads and plenty of drama i cant wait to read the others in the series.

5 Engaging Stars!!!
I’ve read everything that Ms. Norman has written and I love how her writing gets better and better with each book she releases. This book, the first book in this new series was a perfect way to make it through my redeye flight home from a long weekend…I can’t sleep on planes!
London is a woman in every sense of the word and having to step into her father’s shoes to run the family ranch is a lot to take on. But she’s got her sisters and their relationship is really at the core of this book. That and her budding romance with her high school crush Braden. I love how this book highlights that a woman can do anything she sets her mind to and London along with Holland and Paris (I love their fancy names) are strong, intelligent and capable women and handle everything that’s thrown at them…even the sabotage taking place on the ranch.
One of my favorite things about Ms. Norman’s writing is her storylines always revolve around these strong women and she does a phenomenal job of creating stories that draws in the readers and getting us invested in all the character’s lives. Her secondary characters are truly pivotal to each storyline allowing us the really engage with everyone in the world she’s created.
This book took me away from the crowded plane I was on and made my flight seem to be so much shorter than it was. Braden and London are so wonderful together. There’s not a lot of angst happening in this book but there’s plenty of heat and an epilogue that’s a perfect way to end this first book in her newest series!!
Danielle does it again! I totally love her writing and this story is just as good as all the rest.
Love, lust, suspense all things that I LOVE in a book wrapped up in one package. I see so many more stories coming from these characters. I loved the farm and loved the story of Braden and London.
I can’t wait to see what Danielle gives us next!
London, a tough as nails cowgirl who isn’t afraid to carry on her dads legacy with her sisters. This book is about family, moving on after death, finding yourself and love. The villain in the story didn’t get what he had coming to him and I wish bad things on him (even though he is not real).
I loved the Iron Orchid series and expected great things from Ms. Norman, I don’t think she failed to impress with this new series. I am seriously looking forward to Holland’s book!
Stetson is caught between two worlds. It has all the heartache of a country song, but twice the drama of any prime-time soap. London is learning how to be a woman, caught in a man’s world. Her spirit is as wild as the land she works, but behind the fierce determination lies an abundance of self – doubt. Braden is the one man who can get inside her head and talk her down from the ledge, but when it comes to her heart it will take more than a gentle tone and understanding to tame the fire inside. As they navigate the emotional side of their relationship, danger slowly rears it’s ugly head. Can this stallion claim his filly before it’s too late? Stetson is complicated made simple. With an edge of mystery, no shortage of heart and a feisty female lead, Norman sets the stage for a tempting battle that proves to be a thrilling yet unpredictable ride.
Stetson starts this new series off, introducing us to a cast of characters that promise to have entertaining books. London and her sisters have taken over the ranch after their father dies, all three busting their butts to make sure that what they have stays theirs and in working order. For London, as the oldest she feels she has more on her shoulders. When she ends up having a one night stand with an old crush, she wakes up the next day more determined to not let anyone distract her. When certain mishaps start happening on the ranch, Braden ends up back in London’s presence once again, and she isn’t all that happy about it at first. When Braden makes sure that London realizes that he is wanting more than just the one night, will London be able to resist?
This was such an entertaining read! There was so much going for it; the mystery, danger, steamy hot sexy times, and a few funny bits. I am excited for the next installment of this story. I give this 4 stars.
The first in a new series from Danielle Norman and I LOVED it! Its so different from Iron Orchids but still has the sarcastic, funny, humor we all love. This book gives us a look at the Kelly sisters and follows London, the oldest. After her fathers death her and her sisters are left the ranch to continue to run. Between dealing with her fathers death, someone trying to sabatoge the sisters, and falling in love, this book gave me all the feels and ups and downs. From happy to sad, laughing to furious, this will be a book you wont want to put down. All I can say is Im ready for more!

**** 4.5 STARS ****
Stetson is the first book in a new series by Danielle Norman. After reading her Iron Orchids series, I knew that the story was one I didn’t want to pass up and I am so glad I signed up to help with promotion through L. Woods PR. As a blogger, I come across new authors and awesome stories all the time, and that’s actually how I found Danielle Norman to start. I’ve greatly enjoyed the last three books that I read by her and of those books that I have read by Danielle, I would tell you her romances are sexy reads that I can endorse wholeheartedly. The previous books I’ve read by Danielle Norman was the Iron Orchids series which is comprised of several standalone MC romances that follow a group of women who love their motorcycles. So, Stetson is an altogether new genre for Danielle Norman as it’s a Western Romance. Otherwise, comparatively speaking, Stetson follows what I am quickly realizing as an author who delivers fun, sexy, entertaining romances.
I rate Stetson at 4.5 stars for a number of reason. It’s a great diversion if you’re looking for a contemporary romance that is a fairly quick read and offers lite sizzle, angst and suspense. The story is well written, easy to read, and was well paced. The humor and banter kept me chuckling. Also, I love duel POV and Stetson was written with both London and Braden perspectives. The Kelly sisters are awesome. After the loss of their father, the take over the ranch that means so much to them but in doing so, they’re thrust into a mans world. Stetson is beautifully woven tale of sisters who are incredibly close and not only find themselves on a journey full of passion and love but also drama, suspense, and ultimately betrayal. I’m truly looking forward to more of the Iron Horses series and if I am being entirely honest, I’m not even much of a western romance fan. Yet, I found Stetson quiet entertaining! Bring on book two… I am anxiously awaiting more of Danielle Norman’s unique brand of romance!
