I like this book alot,for me it was a quick read.Debbie MacComber is one of my favorite authors.

It was a good book. I always enjoy her books. The first one was easier to get into, but they were both good stories.

This was a really fast read for me and both of the stories made me want to visit Montana and find me a country boy.

In the Cowboy's Lady I really didn't like Russ at first but eventually I started to love him and hate Taylor. Eventually by the end of the book I began to love them both and was happy they end up together.

In the Sheriff Takes A Wife, I absolutely did not like Taylor's sister at all. Her cowardice was unattracting and made me lose interest in the story. As for the sheriff I actually sympathized with him until he gave in with her demands to break of her engagement in person.

Books one and two of the Manning Series.

Book 1- The Cowboy's Lady
Taylor Manning moves to Cougar Pointe from Seattle, to heal a broken heart. The last thing she expects to find is romance. But the attraction between her and rancher Russell Palmer is instant. The banter between this independent woman and chauvinistic male is entertaining and romantic. This was a sweet romantic story. You really are pulling for the two characters to end up together.

Book 2- The Sheriff Takes a Wife
Taylor's engaged younger sister, Christy, comes to Cougar Pointe to help with the birth of her child. While there, she falls in love with lawman Cody Franklin. The problem is, Christy has always done everything her parents expect of her and they are ecstatic about her engagement to James. I didn't like this story as much as the first one. I found Christy to be too much of a pushover. She was so concerned about hurting her parents and James that she ended up hurting everyone more.

This book is typical Macomber style.... City Mouse meets Country Mouse and they both fall in love. A well written romance about unexpected partners in unexpected places. Perfect stories to read on a cold winter's night.
