She said she’d never rely on a man again…Never say never. When meek and mild Posey Davies calls it quits on her toxic marriage, she grabs her two-year-old daughter and runs. Her flight lands her in Grand, Montana, a community happy to take her in and even happier to nose about in her life and her unfortunate past. The cowboy next door, Zack McGregor, has “good time,” written all over him. He’s … written all over him. He’s only home for a year to help out his older brother, who’s guardian of their sister’s children. Zack is kind, funny and oh-so-easy on the eyes. He’d be perfect, but the practical Posey predicts Zac will disappear as soon as winter sets in.
Zack’s not as laid back and fun loving as he seems. He’s all about family and doing what’s right. When Posey’s deadbeat ex-husband begins making demands, Zack insists on playing protector.
Posey’s never had anyone stand up for her before and soon realizes that perhaps relying on this man and trusting in love is well worth the risk.

Loved this story.
When a young woman moves to town with an adorable little girl Zack falls hard for her but she has secrets.can he win her over and prove he isn’t after anything but her heart. Enjoyable book.
Love this series!
This is the third in the trilogy of the macgregors and it was a great story. I just wish there were more books. This is my first series by Paula altenburg and I will be looking for more
Posey left her abusive husband Trevor and she bought a place in Grand. No one in Grand knows anything about her past or how much money she has. All they know is that she just moved to town, and chooses to stay by herself in the house she bought for her and her daughter.
She has trust issues because after she married Trevor she found out that he was only interested in her money. He didn’t care about their daughter just the money he could get. When that money ran out he tried to get more. She left because she saw him being abusive to the little one.
Once in Grand with the help of her friend Eleanor and the handsome neighbor Zach next door she finds herself at home in Grand and making new friends. A home where she can be happy and take care of her daughter while helping out some of the residents there.
This is a really good book that if you ever had an abusive spouse you can relate too. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a really good easy to read book. I really enjoyed it.
This is the third book in the Montana McGregor Brothers series and while I understand there are no more brothers to write about I sure hope our Author will continue the series and expand into Grand with Sheriff Dan and Andy. When you read the book you will get a wee peek at her. But this is Posey and Zack’s book and what a wonderful book it is. Both of these 2 have little girls and I think that is part of the charm for me. Another thing I like about this book is that while Posey left a bad marriage, she came out as a strong women. You do not have to have read all the books but let me say, if you have you will really enjoy this series so much. The town of Grand, Montana is is warm friendly and yes they all take care of each other.
Posey and Zack’s love story in The Rancher’s Proposal by Paula Altenburg, book three in the Montana McGregor Brothers series, is a wonderful story. Posey Davies left her abusive ex-husband in Boston, grabbed her two-year old daughter and runs to Grand, Montana. This community offers all the good and bad of a small town, being happy to welcome her but wanting to pry into her life; now and the past. She is ready to start over, relying on no one but herself; especially not on another man. Zack McGregor is living next door, helping out his older brother, who’s now guardian of their sister’s children. Zack is not as laid back and fun loving as he seems; as family comes first for him. Zack also has a strong belief of doing what’s right. He has fallen for Posey since she moved next door and he set eyes on her. In fact, he has shamelessly used his two-year niece to help him get to know Posey better and spend time with her. These two share off the chart chemistry but Posey struggles with trusting others, especially men after what she went through with her ex. The more time Posey and Zack spend together, the more Posey starts believing in Zack and accepting that he truly loves her as well as falling for him. When Posey’s ex-husband shows up and begins making demands, Zack insists on playing protector. No one has ever stood up for her before and Posey realizes that relying on this man and trusting in love is well worth the risk.
Ms. Altenburg wrote a wonderful and sexy story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and amazing characters giving Posey and Zack a chance for happiness, love and a future together. I highly recommend The Rancher’s Proposal to other.

This is # 3 book of The Montana McGregor Brothers is just a delight to read, characters so easy to love and care about. Posey and her daughter Trixie have left an abusive home situation, and even though Posey has enough money to never have to worry about taking care of them she needs Zack’s kind love and support. Gosh I even cared for Posey’s Uncle Bart.
This is the kind of book that is hard to put down, you just get so involved.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
Sometimes it takes a huge leap of faith into the unknown to find your happy. Posey left the east coast with her 2 year old daughter in tow leaving behind everything she has known to escape her ex-husband.
Zack MacGregor has come home to help his brothers take their orphaned nephews and barely 2 year old niece. People look at Zack and let appearances deceive them. He comes across as a simple cowboy but he is really caring smart accountant who wants to protect those he cares about.
Posey ends up buying a house for her and her daughter next door to the MacGregor ranch never realizing that her heart would be tempted by one tall sexy cowboy/accountant. Zach is intrigued by Posey and thinks that she needs protecting but isn’t sure how to go about it.
Posey has a few secrets and she slowly realizes that she can trust Zack. The fun in this book is the adventures along the way.
The real stars in this novel and who do not get enough attention are the very young ladies. Yes, like always 2 year olds steal the show.
I did receive a copy of this novel in advance from the publisher in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
This is book 3 in the series and I only readthe first book. I LOVED this story sooooooo much. Its definitely my favorite one between this one and the first book. This is Zach’s story with his neighbor Posey and it actually starts before his parents and sister end up dead. So we get a fast glimpse of the family that passes away.
This is Posey’s story, he is an abused wife with a young daughter who is fearful of her ex and all men. She is an absolute sweetheart. She has lots of money but no family besides her baby. She meets ach when he is taking care of his niece who is a baby as well.
They form a slow friendship and share babysitting duties and I loved watching him fall for Posey and Posey learning to trust him. This was an awesome story with love, laughterand the cutest kids. Its my absolute favorite in the series.
I received an arc before release from the publisher, all opinions are my own.
This is the third book in the McGregor brother series a series set around a group of brothers who have rallied around to care for their deceased sisters family This is Zack story I believe he was in the earlier stories and even though I haven’t read them I have now purchased them because I loved this book so much.
Zack appears to be a bit of a good time boy who has only returned to the family ranch after the death of his sister BIL and parents to help with the raising of his sisters three children and once everything is sorted out he intends to return to his life. He is taking his niece for a walk when he meets his new neighbour Posey and her daughter Trixie. Posey has just fled her abusive husband and is starting to rebuild her life in Grand Montana They attraction between them is mutual but Posey has walls up and doesn’t trust that Zack can be as nice as he seems Will they eventually connect You will have to read to see But be prepared for some hilarious situations and repartee during the reading of this book
The Montana McGregor Brothers Series is my favorite series by Paula Altenburg. The Ranchers Proposal, book 3, served to reinforce that fact even more. This is a family of brothers who have suffered lost but now are standing together to provide a home to their late sister’s children. It is a series of family, love, loyalty and resilience of the human spirit None of the books is more so than Zack McGregor’s and Posey Davies’
The first two books teased the reader concerning Zack and his interest in his neighbor. I couldn’t wait to read it. Their story is everything I had hoped, plus some events I didn’t expect. Posey is also a person of resilience in that she left a terrible situation. Now she is making it on her own for her sake and her daughter’s. She really underestimated Zack until the need arrives for help. He is more than just a good time man he will stand for what is right and for those he cares for.
A wonderful story of learning to trust, not judging all men as the same and finding the courage to love someone else totally. I enjoyed that the story also includes the brothers and children. It would be difficult for it not to but still the author did a marvelous job.
An ARC of the book was given to me by Tule Publishing which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Posey Davies is determined to give her and her two-year-old daughter a new start far away from her abusive ex-husband. She’s been content to stay to herself until the handsome cowboy next door comes around. Zack’s back home helping care for his recently orphaned niece and nephews. When his new neighbor and her adorable young daughter catch his eye, he’s determined to bring a bit of sunshine back into their lives. At first, Posey’s resistant—determined to not let another man in—although with her ex-husband threatening her, Zack’s determined not to let another person her loves get hurt. Will Zack be able to win her trust and her heart?
Posey’s been through a lot; not only with her abusive ex-husband but with the loss of her mother at a young age, being ignored by father, and the slights her uncle has thrown at her. She’s a bit defeated but she’s not going to give up. While I felt for Posey, I spent much of the book not liking her. She’s too stuck in her own head so whenever Zach did something kind for her or told her he was falling for her, she would come up with these excuses of why he couldn’t like her for her.
I really liked Zack. He was just one of those all-around good guys who is willing to give up everything to put family first. He’s suffering the loss of his parents, sister, and brother-in-law and figuring out how to help raise his orphaned niece and nephews but instead of wallowing in his grief, he’s determined to ensure the kids are raised without a black cloud hanging above them. And when he sees that Posey’s hiding and withdrawing, he does everything in his power to make sure she and her daughter are safe and happy.
The romance was a little one-sided at times. There’s no doubt that Zack’s all in; he’s head over heels, but Posey’s stuck in the past—and in her head—so she needs some time to figure it out. For me, Posey’s reluctance was starting to get a little old. I mean, I understood where she was coming from, but she could have gave Zack a break sooner.
For the most part, I enjoyed the book. It had its heavy moments but it had its fun and charming moments as well giving it a nice balance. The only thing that seemed a bit off was Posey’s actions after the confrontation between Zack and her ex-husband. She was the one who called Zach when her ex said he was coming over then she acted all odd.
So, this one is the third book in the series, but it reads brilliantly on its own.
Overall, I enjoyed this one. It was a quick read and I look forward to reading the previous books in the series.
I received a complimentary review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
I have read all three books in the McGregor Brothers series and I think loved this one the best,loved the storyline and the characters Posey and Zack.I honestly didn’t want it to end.
The Rancher’s Proposal is book number three in the The Montana McGregor Brothers series by Paula Altenburg. This is Posey Davies and Zack McGregor’s story.
I really enjoyed Zack and Posey’s story. They were fun characters. Zack was amazing in how he approached Posey and earned her trust and love. An entertaining and sweet read that is a great way to escape everyday life.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
What an intriguing story. Was so wrapped up in it that I almost forgot to make supper! Storyline is complicated in its simplicity. It is certainly not your typical single mom meets rancher. There’s so much more going on with tons of family drama all around. Book was so realistic that I started worrying how everyone was going to make out. This is one of those stories that stays with you long after you’ve finished it.
I received an advanced reader copy from Tule Publishing and am leaving my review voluntarily.
Another sweet romance from the author. I loved Posey’s strong character and her willingness to do anything to keep her daughter safe. Zach comes across as the sweetest guy who is willing to stand up for his love. How Zach gets Posey to trust him and how they find their happily ever after makes a lovely read.

I have loved all of the McGregor brothers but I think Zach is my favorite. Zach is such an honorable loving person and to find his HEA with Posey. Posey is a very strong willed woman who will do anything to protect her two year old daughter, Trixie. Posey is starting her life over with her daughter after leaving an abusive marriage and has trust issues. Zach is the perfect man for her, he is so patient with Posey and will wait forever to hear those words of, I Love You.
Loved the chemistry of Posey and Zach. They both share the love of children. This is the third book in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. Three single brothers that are now raising their nephews and niece, and each finding their HEA. It’s sad to say good bye to this family.
This is such a delightful story of learning to trust and to love. Posey Davies has her defenses sky high to protect her two year old Trixie and herself from an abusive ex-husband. She settles 2,000 miles away from him to start a new life hopefully free of his manipulations. Zack McGregor, the man on the next over ranch is struggling with his brothers to raise their orphaned niece and nephews. Posey’s daughter, Trixie, offers a playmate for Lydia.
Time can heal many wounds and trust can be built. Time is on Zack’s side as he woos (yes, woos!) Posey, gently, determinedly, and carefully.
