The Cowboy Imports a Bride
This saga continues with another of the original men. Lots of backstory to bring you up to date on the happenings around town and in the couples lifes.
This one is about how the father of the four Matheson boys offers them 200 acres of land for free to be the first to get marrieds.
This book is mainly about Rob and his intended Morgan-from Ethan's side of the family, previously met in earlier books. She runs the family vineyard in Canada and when her half sister becomes pregnant her father can't make it to their meeting.
She just wants her dreams to come true....Love learning about the vineyard business. Rob dishes out the practical jokes and he fast learns how the tables turn on him....Rob just knew his father would put more stipulations on the land...
Hot steamy sex and Claire and Jaime get married. Mysteries, confessions and upheavals, more clues to find.
More in the series are planned.

I wouldn't say I LOVED it, but I did really enjoy reading it. I didn't really like the big reveal as to what Aria did with all the money, it really brought down my enjoyment of the book because I think if it wasn't there I probably would have marked it 5 stars. These books are just so easy to read and a really nice thing to read between books and stuff because they're not super deep (they've got some depth but nothing too serious that'll leave me heartbroken or angry with anything that went down) and I really like that!

This rating for me is entirely personal preference in story-telling.
I am very picky about my cowboy fiction.
In short I either hate it or I love it.
I was lost somewhere in the middle, because the first half I wasn't totally into. I couldn't quite relate to any of the characters in the story. I struggled between them being selfish, prudish, and a bit arrogant.
I wasn't all together sold on the whole, "I'm not a virgin, but I am now, and I'm not going to be with a man before I'm married--oh wait, I want you now so come get me."
You basically know from the get go that this couple is in love with one another. There is a chemistry that you can actually feel because of the strong writing. However the author tosses in some past hang ups in order to not jump right into the sexual content of the story--there is some religious type reasoning, and it comes off almost awkward.
It was a forced conflict that sort of interfered with the flow of the story-telling. Once the characters got comfortable it seemed I was able to enjoy the story more. Basically, when she got over her need to be a prude I was down with the story. Yes, the father and half-sister were annoying. But I have personally dealt with lame family members--and it is entirely believable that family would act the way they did in this creating unneeded drama.
As a whole--it was personal preference on my part where it comes to the stories entertainment value. I know a target audience for this series and I realized it was not me. The writing and voice was very strong. If it wasn't I wouldn't have had such strong feelings towards the characters. I just thought it was too light and sweet for me.

This was going to be a solid 2-stars from me because of how baby obsessed and how hateful everyone was in this book, but damnit if that ending didn't tug at my heart. Bonus half-star for nearly making me cry before my exams.

I received a review copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
The third installment in the Chance Creek series. This book follows the story of Rob and Morgan as they try to find love, family and a purpose.
Being the practical joker of the group can have its downfalls when, when you are serious about something and no one believes you. Rob is tired, sick and tired of having to hide in his shell and behind a mask of jokes and laziness. That’s not who he is and no one realizes this but the one person no one even knew existed two months before.
Morgan was a surprise to everyone when she showed up to find her mother. Announcing that she is the half-sister of Ethan and Claire Cruz. She was immediately an outcast and not to be trusted but there was something irresistible about her. All she wants is family as the bastard child of a professor and his student she has spent her whole life in between worlds.
Watching these two make their pact and go through all the ups and downs sticking to their pact entails. I couldn’t have been happier with this read. I would recommend this to ANYONE! This book brought out the best of both characters and the development was fantastic to me! I can’t wait for the next book by Cora! 5/5

I really like this series. I'm a sucker for a cowboy romance! I have read the other stories in this series so I have seen how Rob has been the practical joker. His friends and family haven't always taken him seriously. His fathers challenge to receive land if he gets married sets him in motion to find the one woman he would consider a quick marriage to. Morgan and Rob met in Chance Creek where Morgan's sister and brother live, which are friends of Robs. Morgan's life isn't great either, she dreams of having her own vineyard. If they marry can they both get what they want.. It was good story, looking for more from Cora Seton.

I AM IN LOVE. Truly Cora Seton is very talented in writing such romantic cliche realistic love stories.
Rob, the pranksters, I liked him in the first book. Got annoyed with him in the second book. Now, in the third book, I freaking love the guy.
He has his own problems and he is trying to find his way. He took pranks as a coping mechanism and now in this book he is taking of that prankster shield and exposing himself to new things resulting in a great journey of self-discovery and spectacular character development :)
Morgan is an amazing character. I relate to her so much and admire her amazing personality that allows her to be straight forward and knows directly what she wants in her life and how to reach it.
I also love in Morgan her confidence in herself when she comes to believe that she can lead a happy married life with Rob which will eventually lead to love :) If both her and Rob agree to maintain certain priorities that are essential to have in a successful marriage.
All in all, this is an amazing book, the best out of all 3 so far in my opinion :)
It's PG 13 for small details in sexual scenes. The language used is mild and inoffensive :)
Until next review, stay happy and enjoy reading :D

DNF. Unlikable characters. Particularly Rob & his family. Didn't like the story development... pace was too slow for me. Gave up when I realised that I didn't really care about any of them or what happened.
