The book had a plot that was fairly interesting but it was diminished by too many explicit sexual encounters by the two main characters. If this is what you are looking for, then you will love this book. However, I thought the storyline would have been better served without it. Less is more.
Well written, covers PTSD.
Laughed and snickered my way through the book, finished WAY too quickly. A different type of of story with lots of humor and HEA.
I am now reading this book. I read the first one, and I am pretty sure I will read the next three.
Wife wanted
The Hall boys have been given a chance to get the family ranch back, but with a few conditions. Get married and have a child width a year. Older brother Mason is getting married. Now it’s Austin’s turn. Ella is actress who’s ex finance isn’t one until Academy Awards night and she finds out he got his costar pregnant and she won the award. Ella answers Austin’s wife wanted ad. What follows is great.
Austin and Ellas story captivated me from the moment I started reading. I loved that they both were instantly attracted to each other and couldn’t resist. The Hall brothers were taken from their childhood ranch in Chance Creek, Montana when their dad died and their story captivated me The fact that their Aunt Heloise made them a proposition they can’t refuse and they start out looking for these woman just to be with them for a year got my attention. I loved that Austin is a bit broken from what happened in the war. Ella is an actress who is shocked by what her fiancé did on national television during an award ceremony and she runs away to escape the paps. These two are so hot together and so adorable. Their worldwind romance has its ups and down, but it undeniable that they belong together. Austins past haunts him and can jeapordize his and Ella’s future. Ella wants a simple, quiet and happy live, and her heart is set on a broken man who. Austin’s world is turned upside down when a secret is revealed and then when his twin comes home a new revalation can tearn the Hall brothers apart. Each of the Hall brothers books can be read as a standalone and all end in HEA. I loved LOVED the story.
Loved this book I have read it 2 times
Enjoyed this book
Hot…Hotter…..ON FIRE! Read with plenty of water handy!! Fun read.
The characters were believable, I could wish the heroine had more spine.
Loved it!
I would so love to read this series if it didn’t contain so much pornography. It is like the author didn’t trust her story line enough without putting in the gratuitous porn. Too bad, fun romance made disgusting.
I love Cora’s books and this one was no disappointment! The characters were realistic and easy to get to know. I look forward to ready more books by this author!
