The Cowboy's of Chance Creek


The Cowboy’s E-mail Order Bride by Cora Seton
The Cowboy's of Chance Creek #1

In the first installment of the Chance Creek Series Cora Seton has set the bar high for the remainder of the series.  This quick read is perfect if you are looking for a fast paced romance with hot cowboys.  The light hearted banter between friends and love at first sight makes reading it all the more fun.

Getting drunk around your prankster friends is not a good idea.  Ethan Cruz finds this out the hard way.  After being dumped by his fiancé and tragic death of his parents, Ethan gets drunk and confesses the qualities he wants in a wife.  His friend, Rob, pulls off the ultimate prank, edits the video and puts it on Youtube as a proposal.  Unbeknownst to him, his friends hand-pick a bride from him and fly her to his Montana ranch.  Autumn Leeds, a columnist for a women’s magazine, is looking for her next big story when she comes upon Ethan’s Youtube video.  She and her friend Becka put together a video for submission with all Ethan’s dream girl qualities.  Next thing you know the pair are on the ranch and neither have the heart to let the other know the real reasons they are in this situation.  Do love and lies mix?  Check out this and start of this new series.


The Cowboy Wins a Bride by Cora Seton
The Cowboy's of Chance Creek #2
 
The Cowboys of Chance Creek are at it again in the second installment The Cowboy Wins a Bride.  I have grown to love these Montana cowboys and the characters in Chance Creek and this addition to the series did not let me down.
In this chapter we focus on Jamie and his love for Claire.  If you are a fan of this series, you know the previous proposal was a prank and this story is along those lines.  Jamie asks Claire to marry him right after Rob pulls a prank on her, so she assumes this is a prank also.  Jamie on the other hand is serious, so the pair wagers a bet.  By Labor Day the couple will wed if Jamie can keep his wondering hands to himself, and if he can’t then he has to send Claire on an around-the-world vacation.  There is also a twist in this Chance Creek story that you won’t want to miss.
The only issue I had with this book is 70 % in the story in a key point a character gets called the wrong name at a crucial reveal.  I can understand a mix up, but come on editors this was a reveal and twist in the story-line.  I absolutely hate that this has happened and hopefully this will get fixed before too many people buy this book.

The Cowboy Imports a Bride by Cora Seton
The Cowboy’s of Chance Creek #3

 
This third chapter in the Cowboy’s of Chance Creek entitled The Cowboy Imports a Bride and is set to release September 2013.
 
This installment gets us up close and personal with our favorite prankster Rob Matheson.  If you are a fan of the series you know that Ethan and Claire found a long lost sister and yes, Rob has his eyes set on her.  When Rob has a not-so-mid-life-crises he runs to Morgan who resided in Canada.  After coming to an agreement they decide to get engaged and hope that they can fall in love. 

Seton has written a great addition to the Chance Creek Cowboy’s.  This was an enjoyable read and I love the fact that the author has written new characters into this series.  Hopefully we will be able to read about Chance Creek and its great characters well into the future.

 


The Cowgirl Ropes A Billionaire by Cora Seton

The Cowboys of Chance Creek # 4


The Cowgirl Ropes A Billionaire is the fourth addition to The Cowboys of Chance Creek Series by Cora Seton. 

I love this series!  The community of Chance Creek and its characters hold a special place in my heart.  I loved The Cowboy’s E-mail order Bride and the pranks the guys make on each other, but as the series progresses the characters develop nicely.

I loved this installment just as much as the previous three.  The characters are still great and the plots are just as good.

You can’t go wrong with this light hearted, fun read!

 
Synopsis:

Bella Chatham will lose everything – her veterinary practice, her animal shelter, and even her home – if she can’t find another source of income, fast. So when her best friend signs her up for the hot new reality television show, Can You Beat a Billionaire, Bella accepts the challenge and hopes against hope she can win the ten million dollar prize. If she doesn’t, it’s bye-bye pet clinic and shelter, bye-bye Chance Creek, Montana, and hello to marriage to the billionaire for a year!

Evan Mortimer, billionaire, can’t believe he’s reduced to competing in a television contest to win a wife. Unfortunately, it’s the only foolproof way to secure his position as head of Mortimer Innovations. At least he’ll be able to dump his “spouse” at the end of the year. He has no intention of getting hitched for life.

Bella doesn’t expect her adversary to be handsome – or funny, or compassionate – but Evan’s all three, and he’s proving a tough competitor, too. When they end up sharing a tent – and a sleeping-bag – her body betrays her with a longing so deep it cuts her to the core. Still, this cowgirl must stay strong. If Evan uncovers her secret fears, he’ll use them to win the contest – and then he’ll own her for a year. She’ll be out of luck, out of cash, and stuck being Mrs. Mortimer until he kicks her to the curb. Too bad she can’t decide which is worse – winning the show and losing Evan forever, or losing the show and only being his temporary wife.

Evan can’t believe he’s falling for the one woman who doesn’t want him. This cowgirl’s not impressed by his money, his name, or his inability to sleep in a tent with her for an entire night, but every look and touch she gives him sends his desire through the roof. With a director determined to use his claustrophobia to make him look like a fool, and an adversary so sexy he can hardly see straight, he’ll need all his savvy to come out on top. Too bad he’s going to lose no matter how this show turns out. If he beats Bella, he’ll destroy the first woman he’s ever loved. If he doesn’t beat her, it’s bye-bye Mortimer Innovations.

Will either of them remember in time that it’s not who wins or who loses – it’s how they play the game that really counts?

The Sheriff Catches A Bride by Cora Seton

The Cowboys Of Chance Creek # 5


The Sheriff Catches A Bride is the fifth installment of The Cowboys of Chance Creek series by Cora Seton.

Finally, it’s Cab’s turn.  I was patiently waiting for Cab’s story, and it was just a good as the rest of the series. 

The characters feel like family after reading about them for so long, so I am bias when saying that I love the characters and the town of Chance Creek. 

I couldn’t wait to see who Ms. Seton paired Cab with and Rose was one of my favorite supporting characters so I was please to say that I was happily surprised and loved every minute of this book. 

With the addition to twist in this story it made it unique to the basic Chance Creek storyline.  I can’t wait to see where Ms. Seton takes this series.

Synopsis:

When county sheriff Cab Johnson gets a hunch, he’s learned to trust it, and his hunch tells him Rose Bellingham is in a peck of trouble. Bad enough he’s in love with her, bad enough she’s already engaged to Jason Thayer. He’s got to figure out what she’s hiding before he loses her for good.

Rose can’t stand one more person meddling in her business, even if that person is a handsome, eligible sheriff. She’s been controlled for far too long. But since her fiancé’s father is both her boss and landlord, she can’t dump Jason until she’s got somewhere to run. She’s found the perfect place: a patch of forest outside town. But with Cab watching her every move, she’s hard pressed to finish her hideaway so she can make her escape. Meanwhile, she’s not the only one with problems. Can she find a way to help her friends, too?

Just when Cab solves one mystery, more pop up. Where does Rose keep disappearing to? What’s wrong with Mia Start? Why is Hannah Chatham lying to her fiancé? At least he’s let Rose know he’s interested. And if he’s not mistaken, she’s interested, too.

Rose’s hideaway is perfect, until her friends invade it to escape their own troubles. Can she trust them to keep its whereabouts a secret? Does she want to hide from Cab anymore? Now that Jason’s out of the picture, is it safe to follow her heart?

When two unexpected visitors arrive with secrets of their own, Chance Creek must brace for its deadliest night ever. Can Cab figure out the connections between all the mysteries fast enough?

Or will Rose and her friends pay the ultimate price?




The Cowboy Lassos A Bride by Cora Seton
The Cowboys of Chance Creek #6
The Matheson’s of Chance Creek # 1
So as many of you know I love the Chance Creek series by Cora Seton.  The Cowboy Lassos A Bride is the sixth installment of The Cowboys of Chance Creek series.  I’m not sure if this book is a spin off but it is the first book in the Matheson’s of Chance Creek.  It really doesn’t matter what you call it, if you are a fan like me you will love it nonetheless. 

This book has all your favorite characters but mainly focuses on the Matheson’s.  I am so glad Mrs. Seton took this series in this direction.  I didn’t know if the series would end with the last book as we were running out of main characters to write about. 

I have always loved Rob’s brothers, and strangely enough Holt himself was a character that really stood out.  So I was enamored when I found out that Jake was staring in this book.  I also liked Hannah in the previous book so it was a perfect fit for me.

If you enjoy romance or cowboys check out this series.

Synopsis:

Jake Matheson loves everything about ranching the Double-Bar-K, except for his father’s controlling nature. It’s bad enough the old man won’t step down and let him run things his own way. Now Holt has demanded that Jake find a wife—in the next thirty days. Jake knows just the woman he wants–Hannah Ashton–but they haven’t even gone on a date, let alone been together long enough for him to propose. He’ll have to work fast to secure her hand in marriage before his time is up.

Hannah Ashton loves the fifteen hundred pound bison she rescued from being the object of a trophy hunt. She’s grateful for Gladys’s temporary home on the Double-Bar-K—and for the chance it gives her to see Jake on a daily basis. But now his father, Holt, is threatening to kick Gladys off the ranch—or eat her!—unless Hannah follows some very strange instructions.

Jake is thrilled when Hannah agrees to move into his cabin, but his family seems dead set on breaking them apart. Meanwhile, Hannah is all set to head off to veterinary school, but Jake seems to want a traditional wife.

Will a pregnancy scare unite Jake and Hannah in a common goal? Or will it drive them apart for good?
