Praise for Kaki Warner
“Finding a Kaki Warner book is striking gold.”—New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas
“Kaki Warner’s warm, witty, and lovable characters shine.”—USA Today
“[An] emotionally compelling, subtly nuanced tale of revenge, redemption, and romance...This flawlessly written book is worth every tear.”—Chicago Tribune
The
first ever contemporary Western romance from beloved historical romance
author Kaki Warner, filled with love and second chances.
After
serving eighteen months in prison for a crime he didn't commit, Dalton
Cardwell is looking for a fresh start. What better place than Whitcomb
Four Star Ranch? He doesn't regret taking the fall for his
brother--he'd do anything to protect him. But now all Dalton wants is to
keep his head down and focus on the horses--and on Raney Whitcomb.
Raney
is outraged when she learns her mother hired an ex-con. Raney has
worked hard for the ranch, sacrificing her personal life for the dream
of building on her family's
legacy. But as Dalton breaks down every misconception and even wins the
good opinion of her sisters, Raney is forced to rethink her stance--and
finally free herself to explore the heart-pounding tension that simmers
between them.
Kaki Warner is
a RITA-winning author and longtime resident of the Pacific Northwest.
Although she now
lives on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains in Washington,
Kaki grew up in the Southwest and is a proud graduate of the University
of Texas. She spends her time gardening, reading, writing, and making
lists of stuff for her husband to do, all while
soaking in the view from the deck of her hilltop cabin.
My Review
5 Stars
Rough Creek Kaki Warner is the First book in the Brides of Rough Creek Texas. This is the story of Raney Whitcomb Dalton Cardwell. Raney and her mother have taken over handling the family ranch Whitcomb Four Star, after her father dies. Raney's sister have their own thing they want to do. So when her mother at 60 starts to talk about traveling / retiring, her mother ends up hiring a horse trainer for the ranch along with helping out. Raney's mom ended up hiring Dalton who is a ex con which Raney is not happy about. Dalton was sent to prison for 18 months for something he didn't do. Dalton has just been release and his to his parents ranch where he finds that they have sold it and are moving to be closer to his younger broker who is handicapped. So Dalton ends up being hired with a 6 months contract at the Whitcomb Four Star Ranch. Dalton's plan is to just consecrate on horse and nothing else. But then he meets Raney and they start headbutting. This was a slow burn but it was a great read for me. I will be looking for more books by this author.
