This is one of my favorites in this series. I love Magda, she’s feisty, independent, loyal and just a bit scared of commitment. She’s returned because her father had a heart attack and she needed to be close to him.
Reno and Darren Montgomery are slobs. They concentrate on trying to make their ranch successful, not wanting to ride on their parents coat-tails. When their parents come in for the holidays, their mother sees the need and immediately thinks of Magda. Olivia swears Magda had whipped Mitch into shape before she married him so she would be the perfect person to tame the twins.
There is a problem that no one knows about. Reno and Magda had been together before she disappeared six months ago. She left with no explanations and Reno is still upset with her.
Now you know these guys are going to mess up, so there’s a lot to giggle at even as the tension rises between Reno and Magda.
A car accident, a blizzard, frozen pipes and so much more will have you turning the pages to see if Reno and Magda can weather the storm of their passion.
I love this series so I’ll just start on the next book.
Loved the story about this very large family. This was about Reno and Magda and the journey they find themselves on. A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. You can never go wrong when there are true cowboys involved.
Just an overall good feeling book
This was one hot couple!!
I have to say that I really liked the authors take on Magda. In other books, female leads who act like Magda did, dive me crazy. While I understand they have abandonment issues from being a child and the first sign of conflict or commitment they run. However, Mrs D’Alba wrote Magda in such a way that yes it bothered me but not as much. You liked Magda, and you wanted her to be happy. This was weird for me because I don’t usually root for this type of character but I did for her.
I absolutely adored Reno. Here is this man that had a life plan but as we all know plans change. He was a genuinely good guy. He was the kind of guy that most of us read books about because there are not a lot of men out there like him. He works hard, loves his family, is really funny, amazing in bed and just an all around good man. When Magda finds Reno in the pond, I think my heart momentarily stopped along with hers.
This series just doesn’t quit! Each one gets better and better with the characters having their own unpredictable quirks. A woman with a Harley and a man with a horse – there’s something to be said about riding things! Okay, I’ll move on to the real reason I loved the story. Magda Hobbs and Reno Montgomery have a history, albeit brief and secret. She takes off with no plans to return but her father falls ill and she has to come back to Whispering Springs, if only to care for him.
Living together with his brother and running their ranch, Reno and twin brother Darren have no time to keep their house clean so their mom gifts them a housekeeper, Magda. Of course the sparks are reunited but how they get there, and what is done with them is why you need to read this story!
Another winner!
I totally loved this story it has everything to make this not only a top seller but a hit in my book. I had so many smiles on my face and laughed so much throughout the whole story. This is a story that will stay on your mind after you have finished it. This author knows how to put the romance back in romance with just enough heartbreak to keep it interesting and lord some steamy scenes that will get your heart pumping. There was truly nothing I didn’t like, this is one author that knows how to write and keep her reads interested as she tells a compelling story of heartbreak, love, sorrow and misunderstandings. I loved how the author gives you wonderful funny scenes along with times you can feel their pain. There are even times when you think OH NO this can’t be happening. She keeps you guessing with wonderful writing and then throws in a little heat.
Magda found her father late in life after she lived in so many years with foster care families. She knows people say things they don’t mean to get what they want. She finds it hard to trust anyone or anything they say. After running away from the one man she could love she gets a call her father needs her. Back she goes to take care of her father. To stay she needs a job the mother of the man she loves hires her to take keep house for her sons. Things get interesting when she moved in to become their housekeeper. It isn’t long before she is on the run again finding it hard to believe anything Reno said. Will Magda run for the rest of her life or will Reno put the breaks on?
Reno can’t get the one girl he loves out of his mind when she walked out more like ran off he throws his self into running the ranch. He was very surprised when she comes back to town and even more surprised when his mother hires her to keep their home. He tires his best to stay out of her way but life throws them together for one night of heated passion. Once is never enough as he soon finds out, he just has to work out a way to keep this hot little lady in his life before she takes off with his heart again.
Magda is a wonderful lovely woman who has trust issues. She is just too sweet and gives so much of herself. Reno is one hot cowboy who has all the women running to him. None but the one he can’t have believes him when he said marriage isn’t on the cards. These are two wonderful characters that you will fall in love with. There are times you want to bang their heads together, you will laugh as they dance around each other. The author gives you wonderful supporting characters that will keep you smiling. Really there wasn’t anyone I didn’t care but for one cowboy we only saw for a few minutes. I am sure you won’t care for him either….
I can’t wait to read more from this author she has me hooked for sure. She could be at the top of my favorite author list in no time at all. Cynthia gives you a wonderful read with so much feeling. There are times when you say O my… This is a book I found hard to put down the words flow so easy before you know it you are lost in one outstanding read. I highly recommend you pick this up, I am sure it will be one of your favorite reads this year.
