Five ranch-hands inherit a Texas ranch from their boss and are determined to make New Horizon Ranch the success he envisioned when he chose to leave his legacy in their care.
When runaway bride, Sadie Archer’s car breaks down on the outskirts of Mule Hollow, Texas, she’s not exactly dressed to fix the blown tire. Then again, she hadn’t planned on this road trip or her life falling apart a week … road trip or her life falling apart a week before her wedding. But now that she’s hit the road, destination unknown, Sadie’s decided it’s time to disappear for a while and find out exactly what it is she wants out of life. But first she needs to change her flat tire and that is easier said than done when one is wearing…
A bunny suit!
Ex-cowboy star Rafe Masterson thinks he’s seeing things at first but yes—that is definitely a female head sticking out of the furry white bunny suit, tangling with a spare tire. A cowboy who guards his heart carefully, he’s still always willing to help someone in need…even one wearing white fur from top to bottom. Completely captivated by the unusual woman, Rafe senses she’s in trouble in more ways than the flat tire. He’s part owner of the New Horizon Ranch and offers her a job as cook—even though they don’t need a cook.
Sadie accepts even though she can’t really cook but this is the perfect answer to her needs right now…and how hard can it be anyway?
These two might be down-on-love but love hasn’t given up on them and the Matchmaking Posse of Mule Hollow has just gotten them in their sights…

Another good one
Sadie was running to heal from seeing her fiancee kissing his secretary a week before their wedding. She is dressed in her Bunny suit she uses for her volunteer work. Now she has a flat and is trying to change it when Rafe comes up upon her. Rafe was on his way to Cliff & Maddie’s engagement party when he see her tail hanging out from her truck and he stops to help.
Funny and interesting! I enjoy Debra’s books
clean
Poorly written; predictable
She had me at the bunny suit scene. What a fun read. Great job, Debra Clopton!
Love this author and her books. I plan on a relaxing time and usually read in one sitting. I get started and can’t stop
I enjoy stories with a ranch theme. The books by this author never disappoint. They might be as predictable as a Hallmark movie but I find them worth my time.
Sadie Archer is on the run. Running away from her problems. But, in the process of running away from them, she finds herself in a completely different sort of problem – an amazing cowboy that sets her heart to racing.
Rafe Masterson can’t pass by the woman he discovers along side of the road wearing a bunny suit while attempting to change her flat tire. However as he helps with the tire, he quickly senses that she’s in some sort of trouble and offers to help. But, will she eventually help him break down the walls around his heart?
What follows is a sweet story of two people who finally find the right person in their lives. Each helps the other overcome past betrayal and hurts and see the reality of what true love can bring.
I loved the story of Mule Hollow continuing in the background – all of the various characters that I’ve grown to love from the previous books.
My one critique is that it’s barely long enough. It’s more in line with a novella .
Romance – PG / kissing
Language – PG / clean
Violence – One character grabs another’s arm in a threatening way.
My rating – 4.5 stars
From the start, this book hooked me. What a great way to begin a story and a romance at that! I could’ve read a few more chapters because when I got to the end, I was disappointed to be there.
The characters in ‘Rafe’ are interesting because they’re dealing with a lot of past hurt. In order to be free they have to learn how to overcome that hurt and allow healing to take place. I think everyone struggles with this at some point in life. That being the case, the characters were pretty easy to relate to, at least for me.
The setting painted itself beautifully in my mind’s eye, too. Having once lived in Texas, this story transported me back there for a time. I can’t thank the author enough for that. I really miss it.
I laughed. My heart hurt and I teared up. What more can you say about for this kind of story? This one is definitely a win. 🙂

This was a good read a page turner.
A pleasant change from the language of so many books.
As usual, I like everything this author writes.
A good series!!
Clean romance is always appreciated.

Romance on a third grade level. Girl meets boy and love in a week.

It was light and entertaining. Good for unwinding at the end of the day.
