Yellowstone series is a MUST
for true lovers of.. well, true love.
I expected your run of the mill romance novel. I was very surprised
at how quickly I fell in love with the story, and not just the
characters, but the setting as well. Months after reading this book, I
found myself still thinking about the story and how much I enjoyed
it. I decided to read it again, only to discover it to be better the
second time around, and that to my surprise, there were more
books. I quickly purchased books 2-5 and read them in one
weekend. I was swept away with every word on every page. There
is just something about the writing style, character development
and settings of these books that kept my enthralled all the way to
the end. Each book was beautiful. (Amazon review)
Excerpt - Yellowstone Dawn
“Are you going to stand there all day, gawking, or will you
come sit? How are you feeling?” She walked up to him and
raised her hand to his forehead. She smiled again. “Your
fever’s gone.”
Josh stared into her eyes, and scanned her face. She looked
different this morning. He couldn’t explain the change in
her appearance, but he noticed things he hadn’t paid
attention to since he met her. Her eyes were the greenest,
most expressive eyes he’d ever seen. Her pert nose was
sprinkled with tiny, almost imperceptible freckles. When
she smiled with those full lips, dimples formed in her
cheeks. Her hair framed her delicate face, begging him to
reach out and run his fingers through it. He clenched his
hands into fists to resist the sudden urge to sweep some
strands from her flushed face.
“Are you okay?” Her eyebrows drew together, and she
stepped back. Josh swallowed, and ran a hand through his
hair. He cleared his throat.
“Yeah, I’m much better,” he said, and moved around her to
the table. He reached for the steaming cup of coffee.
“Where did all this food come from?” he asked, turning to
face her. He leaned his hip against the table. He’d done
enough sitting or lying down the last couple of days that he
preferred to stand. He held the cup to his lips. The strong
coffee was just what he needed.
“I headed over to the saloon this morning.” She shrugged.
“Apparently, the owner is the only one left in town to sell
food goods since your relatives left town. Along with his
whiskey, he still gets shipments of food, and the town folks
go to him if they need staples. Otherwise, this place is
dying.”
She waddled to the stove, and Josh silently watched her
every move. She scraped the meat to the sides of the
skillet, and quickly and efficiently cracked eggs into it onehanded. With an old rag in her hand, she bent to pull the
oven door open, and produced another skillet with biscuits.
He noticed the buckskin dress she wore hugged her slender
backside almost too tightly. Her expanding stomach was
obviously outgrowing the material of the dress.
“Lucky for us, your aunt left these old skillets behind.”
With a groan, Dani set the heavy cast iron in the middle of
the table. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t find any plates, only some
spoons and forks. We’ll have to eat right out of the skillets.
Oh, and there’s no butter for the biscuits.”
Josh set his tin cup on the table, and rushed to her side. She
was about to lift the skillet from the stovetop. “Here, let me
carry that,” he said, reaching for the handle on t
