For Pete's Sake is the first book in Myrna Temte's Cowboy Country series. Dr. Peter Sinclair needed rest and relaxation, so he hit the road and landed at the Circle D Ranch. "Grandma D" was an old friend of Peter's late grandfather and when she asked Pete to stay at the ranch for the summer he happily accepted. Peter ends up getting more than he expected. Someone is trying to scare the Dawson's off the Circle D Ranch. Accidents start happening and people are getting hurt. On top of all that, Peter finds himself falling for one Dawson in particular, Becky.Becky Dawson has always taken it upon herself to look after her family. Becky loves her family and often overlooks the fact that they sometimes take advantage of her big heart and her generosity. Becky works too hard and hardly ever finds time for herself. That is until Peter Sinclair comes along and shows Becky what it is like to have someone look after her for a change. Peter's thoughtfulness and tender kisses awaken Becky in a way that scares her and intrigues her.The love story surrounding Becky and Pete is heartwarming and makes the book interesting on its own. The mystery surrounding the trouble at the ranch is only an added bonus. I look forward to reading the stories of Becky's brothers Sam and Hank.
