Genre Contemporary western romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RRancher Jase
Carlson doesn’t understand the ache in the hollow of his chest, since his
ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn’t follow the court rules where
his children are concerned, which makes him even more pissed off. Harboring a
bad attitude, he wishes he wasn’t a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a
quick-tempered, sexy blonde. He can’t allow her tight jeans and sweet smile to
sway him, even after he’s coerced into spending time alone with her.
Fighting the torturous battle going on within his own mind and body, he can
either deal with it—or succumb to the woman who appears to be everything he
didn’t know he needed.In an attempt to
save her rebellious teen sister from herself—as her guardian, Brenna Page
leaves everything behind and moves to Canyon Junction, Arizona. When she
unexpectedly meets a hot-headed cowboy with intense blue eyes and muscles to
die for, the first thing she wants to do is get away. Since she can’t seem to shake
him, Brenna wonders if that same grudge-filled cowboy with an attitude is
someone worth taking on. But still dealing with painful memories, and a sister
who wants nothing to do with Arizona, the last thing she needs right now is a
horse ranching cowboy interfering.One wrong turn.
Two broken families. Brought together by chance and need.Buy Heartbreak’s Reward

Love in the Boondocks @AdamMannAuthor #RLFblog #romance
Dave is working for a development project with farmer
families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak
English, and he works with several translators. He comes across primary school
teachers who work in villages in those areas, and one of them who speaks English
asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages. She inadvertently
invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering
from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she
instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not
available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays
another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers
her warmer sleeping facilities!
Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all
young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love.
Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a
non-husband, and big problems!About Love in the Boondocks
