Short and Sweet Book Reviews #151 - Wrangler's Challenge by Lindsay McKenna, The Inn at Blue Hollow Falls by Donna Kauffman, Discovering Miss Dalrymple by Emily Larkin

Wrangler's Challenge by Lindsay McKenna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I always look forward to the next Wind River Valley book. This time the new vet is Dair Wilson whose job in the military was handling a WMD dog as part of a team. When a IED went off she lost part of her leg and her foot. She needs a job and a place to stay and the ranch at Wind River Valley is the perfect place. Not only does she have a job she works with Noah Mabry. Noah has just the right touch to bring Dair out of her shell and into a world where she can trust men for the first time. This is a nice sweet story with some tension. I loved how Noah seemed to get just how to deal with Dair and all of her insecurities. There is still Shaylene's angry father to deal with but that seems to be on the road to closure. A nice series that features vets who have seen the unseeable and are suffering from PTSD as a result.

The Inn at Blue Hollow Falls by Donna Kauffman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stevie Franklin has come over Christmas to help at that beautiful old greenhouse. Turns out we see more of the Inn at Blue Hollow Falls than we do the greenhouse. Noah Tyler is the innkeeper and he and Stevie click from the very beginning. When the snow comes down and the power goes out Stevie does not sit around, she helps. I loved watching the attraction between Stevie and Noah develop. They both knew it was something special and they needed take a chance and explore their feeling. Great scenes and interesting characters abound in the story. I loved the way the story worked out.

Discovering Miss Dalrymple by Emily Larkin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Baleful Godmother has come and gone almost a year ago and Georgiana asked for the ability to find things. She found what happened to her fiancée several years ago and she is now ready to move forward with her life. Georgiana is a great character. She is generous and loving and hoping that Alexander St Clare, Duke of Vickery turns her love. That goes on a very different track when Alexander asks her to find out where he was when he was stolen as a child years ago. Alexander is torn when he learns both the answer and the gift Georgiana got from her godmother. This one is a little different. The focus is not on Georgiana, it is on Alexander and his struggle to find the balance between who he though he was and who he really is. A very nice addition to the story line. The change in focus helps keep the series fresh and new.  The book comes out Oc 27.  I could not wait to read and started it as soon as I got it downloaded.
