Jamie Craig

 

Fortune's Honor

Author: Jamie Craig

Series Connection: Good Fortune Ranch

ISBN: 978-1-60272-190-2

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

4 Hearts

 

Paige comes for a visit to meet her fiance, Ty's, family. Waiting for Ty to meet her at his family's ranch, Paige has a chance to get to know Ty's dying mother and his older brother Clay.

 

Clay works hard on the ranch and it is lonely work. Even though he knows Paige belongs to his younger brother, he enjoys having her there to keep the loneliness at bay. Then on the night his mother dies, Paige offers Clay comfort, but she knows she can't be his, because of her promise to Ty.

 

Fortune's Honor is a heart felt story about a lonely rancher who meets a woman perfect for him, but a little too late. This story is sensual, romantic and sweet. It is the first of two books so far, about the brother of Good Fortune Ranch. It's a good quick read, although for some reason I kept waiting for something to happen, but I'm not sure what.

 

Description:

Clay Putnam has always been the responsible one in his family. He runs the family ranch, Good Fortune, by himself and takes care of his ailing mother. He is happy to make sacrifices so his brothers can follow their own dreams, especially his younger brother, Ty, a bull-rider on the professional rodeo circuit. But he leads a very lonely life, and he longs to meet a woman who could love his home, and his family, as much as he does.

 

Paige Murphy fell for Ty's boyish charm and exuberance, and she agrees to spend her summer vacation at the Good Fortune Ranch while Ty follows the rodeo all over the western states. She is happy to be engaged to Ty.

 

Until she meets his older brother. Clay is mature, thoughtful, and very attractive. She thinks he might be interested in her as well, but they resist their mutual desire out of love and respect for Ty.

 

Passion and a surprising tragedy drives Paige into Clay's arms, but honor, not infatuation, dictates who they are.

 

About the authors from the back of the book:

Jamie Craig is the collaborative efforts of Pepper Espinoza and Vivien Dean. Both successful authors on their own, they began working together in early 2006. Pepper lives with her husband and cats in Utah, where she attends graduate school, and Vivien resides in northern California with her husband and two children.

 

Querida

Author: Jamie Craig

ISBN: 1-60504-123-8

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

4 Hearts

 

Description:

Maddy Terrell is forty years old with an adult son and a time-consuming career. The last thing she is looking for is a relationship. In fact, all she wants is a ride—from Los Angeles to San Francisco so she can attend her niece's wedding. But the ride she was counting on has just stood her up, and her only choice is to accept a lift from Tonio Herrera.

 

He's Latino. He's hot. He's also twenty-four, just too much of a stretch for Maddy to even contemplate, no matter how attracted she is to him.

 

Tonio's not driving Maddy to San Francisco out of the kindness of his heart. In fact, he has a very specific ulterior motive. Maddy is the most attractive woman he has ever met. After months of flirting, he's determined that this weekend in San Francisco will finally get her attention.

 

Then comes the hard part—convincing Maddy he wants more than just a weekend fling.

 

My View:

Jamie Craig is the psydonum of two talented writer, Vivien Dean and Pepper Espinoza who have been writing together since 2006. I've really been impressed with their short stories. They have a simply style that offers pretty good fast reads. Querida (which means dear in Spanish) is a lovely heart-warming story of an older woman who catches the eye of her son's friend and their eventual relationship. It's never easy being the older woman. Maddy has to come to terms with what that means and to do what's right for her. These authors hit the mark with this novella.
