Zack's Ranch

This is a great read! You get an entertaining story set in Texas on a ranch that involves a good looking cowboy and a steamy romance. I fell in love with Zack's character. He was great! "Zack's Ranch" by Becky Barker is book number three in the "Bridleton" series. This is Zack Bartell and Meredith Courtland's story. Meredith (Meri) is a military widow. She works for Zack's Great Aunt Nanette (Nanna) at their family ranch. Meri also volunteers twice a month at a veterans rehab center. Zack works in San Antonio but spends a lot of time at the family ranch. Through time Zack and Meri became friends. Over time the chemistry and attraction between Zack and Meri continues to intensify. Meri is afraid to pursue a relationship because she doesn't want to get hurt again. Plus, Meri doesn't want anything to compromise her job at the ranch. There is an unidentified stalker that stirs things up too. This is a great contemporary western romance. The author does a great job of incorporating a steamy romance with the mystery and suspense of the stalker. This is the first book that I have read by Becky Barker and I look forward to reading additional books by her. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
