Quick romance timeframe wise. Everything happens within a few days but doesn’t diminish the story. Joe is still very likeable enough in his own book but Wolf is the best of this bunch. Probably why I have read it loads of times compared to the rest only been read a few times. Saying that, I still enjoyed this story and Caroline and Joe together. Loved that Caroline is top of her field in a man’s world and is equal to Joe and able to hold her own. My only disappointment is the instant forgiveness. Caroline does tear into Joe and gives him a great piece of her mind. If Caroline had just held out that bit longer, and accepted nothing less than a grovelling apology, I would have loved her more. Great ending with them both visiting the mountain and the baby. I hated the instant forgiveness aspect but that is how the formula of books of this era were. Tough alpha male, virgin heroine not matter her age and forgiveness without explanation or apology. Read in the eBook box set through my library as I lost my paperback versions of these books in a house move.
I really enjoyed this story. It was fast=paced, passionate and amusing. My only criticism is that description is too good in parts and not enough in some parts. How long does it take to describe getting out of a window that happens to be a tight fit???? Anyway it is great to get a chance to read this series as I missed out on buying the paperbacks back in the day but now that I have them all (almost) I am wondering if I am missing out on something. Joe's dad has five children so where are the stories for Michael and Joshua? I like a good ranch story and a decent military one too.
Yep. I love it. A must-have follow up to Mackenzie`s Mountain. A stand alone story on it`s own, but lovely to meet characters again from previous book. I`ve now got the full set on e-books, as well as in paperback. Incidentally, to those who are not in the know, there are two more books to complete the series.

The writer continues to surprise me. There is always some unexpected humour in it and I like the underlying thought of the story. It may not be intentional but it puts emphasis on a sometimes forgotten and ignored group of people. What better way to draw the attention to a cause like this than with a great and compelling book because the writer really does her homework. Looking forward to the next one!
