REVIEW:The Right Cowboy by Megan Ryder is book three in the Granite Junction series. Abby Gaines has just settled all of her mother’s affairs and is meandering her way West to California. Her and her best friend has plans on opening a coffee shop together. Taking her time and seeing all the roadside attractions that she wants, she realizes she isn’t far from Granite Junction where her estranged father Earl lives. She always thought Earl abandoned her, but going through her mother’s things she found letters from Earl to her. Ones her mom kept from her. Upset with her mother she debates with herself on stopping and meeting her father. Her car makes the decision for her when it breaks down at the overlook right outside of Granite Junction. That’s when she meets Granite Junctions Sheriff Nathan Holt.

Nathan was born and raised in the same town he now protects. His father was the Sheriff when he was growing up and he always knew he would follow in his fathers footsteps. Neither Abby nor Nathan were expecting the other to come into their lives. With Abby’s car out of commission for the foreseeable future she decides to make the best of her time in Granite Junction.

Abby starts working at her Dad’s diner to help out, and to feel the waters on a relationship with her dad. She also gets a part time job with a cleaning service, to get work off paying for her car repairs. But when someone starts stealing from all the places Abby works or cleans, she is quick to be the scapegoat since she is the new stranger in town. But what will this mean for her relationship with Nathan? The Sheriff has a job to do, will it ruin what he has found in Abby?

I love all the characters in Granite Junction. Small town vibes also leads to small town gossip! I loved how gossip spread so quickly through town, and how the friends were always there when needed! Highly recommend the Redemption Ranch and Granite Junctions series!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 27, 2021

Trapped—by family, duty, and responsibility.

That’s the plight Cam Miller has wrestled with every day of his life. Forced to provide for his little sister. Obligated to maintain the family ranch. Imprisoned by choices others made for him. But now, with his sister off to college, he can finally pursue the life he’s always dreamed of… far from Granite Junction and the ugly whispers about his family’s sordid history. Or so he thought. After one night of passion comes back to haunt him, he fears he’s about to be tethered to the town once more…

Independent—from family, relationships, and matters of the heart.

Molly Brennan was living her best life as a rodeo trick rider when an unexpected pregnancy forced her from the arena. A failed marriage later, she is perfectly fine running her own hair salon and raising her daughter solo. Men bring heartache, and she wants none of that mess in her life. Yet when one night with sexy cowboy, and a few too many shots, results in a broken condom, Molly is prepared to go it alone once more.

After absolving Cam of his responsibilities to her and their baby, Molly pulls herself up by her big girl panties. She’s handled things this far on her own; the last thing she wants is anyone feeling trapped into being with her. Finding himself torn between the desire for family and his need to break free, where will Cam’s heart lead him?

•••••••••

REVIEW:Cam Miller was free. He has sold the ranch and is heading out tomorrow to his new life in Wyoming. That is until Molly Brennan throws a wrench in those plans. Seems their night of fun and a broken condom has left them with a forthcoming bundle of joy. Cam is a stand up guy who wants to do the right thing by his child, but will that mean giving up his new found freedom and job he has set up in Wyoming? Molly is a strong willed single mom of eight year old Riley. Her fling with Cam was just supposed to be that. A fling before he left town. But now that they are wxpecting a baby together, she doesn’t want to be the one to hold him back from his new found life. Molly tells Cam she can do it on her own. She has been pregnant before alone and has raised Riley on her own. She can do it again. But Cam Miller is not making things easy for her. Showing ip at drs appts, fixing things around the house for her, helping out with Riley. Molly struggles to allow Cam into her protected world.

Will she allow him to not only be a part of the baby’s life but also her and Riley’s? Will Molly and Cam be able to maintain a relationship with them livong eight hours apart from one another? I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship between Cam and Molly. The bonus was how adorable and cute Riley and Cam were together! While the chemistry is amazing between them, I loved every minute they shared the story with Riley! The sub characters are people you want to share your life with, be friends with. Small town living! Sounds amazing!
I couldn’t put this book down and I highly recommend the first book in the series also.

The Restless Cowboy is book two in The Granite Junction series by Megan Ryder.

She nipped the tip of his thumb that was still idly stroking her lower lip, then she soothed it with a gentle kiss. “Neither of us were ready for anything before now. Heck, we’re not ready for anything now either but here we are.”
“Here we are,” he echoed.
She cupped his cheek with one hand and leaned in, lightly brushing his lips with hers, the pain in his soul crying out to hers for comfort, for soothing, and the woman inside of her responded the best way she knew how. He remained still under her kiss, passive, almost frozen in place as if unsure how to respond. She understood his reaction, as torn as she was by their situation, circumstances that had occurred beyond their expectations, that had somehow brought these two lonely souls together. Maybe they could help each other heal in the dark moments of the night.
She stroked his lips with her tongue, a little bolder, and he groaned. “Molly, you don’t know what you’re doing to me.”
She gave a husky, low laugh and let her hand settle on the tense muscles of his abdomen. The hard ridges of his muscles jumped under her fingers and she gently caressed him. “Are you distracted yet?”
“From what?”
“Mission accomplished,” she murmured against his lips.

REVIEW:The Wrong Cowboy is book one in the Granite Junction series by Megan Ryder. This book seems to be an extension of The Redemption Ranch series, but could absolutely be read as a stand-alone.

In Redemption Ranch we met Emma and Cam. It seemed like they were destined to be together. Emma finished college, got a job – everything was going according to her meticulously planned life. That is until Cam’s cousin Gabe Buchanan comes to town. Gabe is in town to work on his next novel.

Emma is bound and determined that her life is supposed to have Cam in it, just one problem – Cam only sees her as a little sister. When Gabe comes to town and finds out that Cam just doesn’t see Emma the way he does, he decides to make his move. But Emma isn’t having any of it. But slowly and surely Gabe inches his way into her life. Once Emma realizes that Cam isn’t interested she devises a plan to make him jealous, with his own cousin.

Her pride takes a hit when she realizes that Cam isn’t jealous at all. At the encouragement of her girlfriends she decides to have fun with Gabe while he is here. Stepping out of her comfort zone, her relationship with Gabe begins to grown.

Emma is a straight shooter. She knows what she wants out of life and she has lists and planners to prove it. But when Cam doesn’t reciprocate the feelings she has for him, she is quite hurt and torn. Can she find happiness with someone else other than Cam? Could it be Cam’s cousin?

Gabe is one of those flirty, fun loving cowboys. While he has turned his back on the family ranch – he has made his own way in the world as an author. Despite what his family thinks, he is succeeding. But Gabe gets in his own way when it comes to Emma. He sees things that aren’t there. He knows that Emma has been in love with Cam for quite some time, is there even a chance that she will even consider a Relationship with him?

I loved that we still got to see characters from the Redemption Ranch series here. It was like homecoming. There is a lot of love in these families and I was so excited that the stories crossed over. I can’t wait to see who Cam ends up with – he deserves some love! And ohhhhh the new owner of Cam’s ranch? What is that going to bring? Can’t wait to find out.!
