about the book

To solve the case…

He’ll steal her heart

Special Ranger Bodie Hopson arrives in Three Springs, Texas, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a bison herd belonging to the strong-willed farmer Sarah Rickelle. Posing as a new ranch hand, Bodie suspects she’s an insurance fraudster, but then quickly realizes she’s more of an ally than a criminal. As they join forces to track down the thief, their growing attraction makes it difficult to stay professional. But when the case takes a dangerous turn, Bodie faces a life-changing decision: follow his law enforcement career or fight for the woman who’s stolen his heart.

review

return to three springs, texas with kissing the texas ranger!

bodie has a job to do—and it's not fall in love with the pretty farmer. still, as he investigates sarah's (fraudulent?) claims of missing bison, he can't help but be drawn to her... sarah, too, can't let her attraction to bodie distract her from her job of keeping the farm afloat. but maybe, as the truth starts coming out, they see the possibility for a future together as well.

bodie and sarah are super cute—and not just because of all the cute animals surrounding them (ducklings and piglets and sheep, oh my!). it's clear from the start that they have chemistry and see one another differently than others have in the past, and i enjoyed how the romance between them played out amidst the drama of the circumstances. (i have to mention, though, that they do start getting referenced as "his farmer" and "her cowboy" pretty quickly after meeting, and that felt odd to me, especially when both were firmly opposed to any long-term relationship.)

kissing the texas ranger is a fun contemporary romance (with a bit of mystery!). readers of cari lynn webb's three springs, texas series will especially love getting to see familiar characters throughout this story. it's a feelgood read that doesn't disappoint.

i received a complimentary copy from the author and/or publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.
