Editorial Reviews

Tender Romances form between fiery and independent women and handsome rangers and sheriffs in this interesting collection of stories. If you love western romances these stories will be sure to touch your heart as romance blooms in the west.

The book is wonder and I would recommend this read to anyone who likes romance and western romance.

These stories are very enjoyable and entertaining when sitting outside with a soft drink, some shade with some time on readers’ hands.  They each are faith-filled as well as unique in some ways, but there is something else that ties them together.

This is a very sweet collection of many different types of love stories. I enjoyed the many different stories set out in the old west of Texas as these men and women found love through their struggles.
