Rescued By A Rancher

A very enjoyable read. Sweet, funny and with the required happy ending! Loved it!

Once upon a time, a lonesome cowboy gets lucky!

Tracy Lynn Randolph was nearing thirty and she decided that she would have to use artificial insemination to fulfill the promise she had made to her dying mother all those years ago - give her father grandchildren. But once Tracy Lynn told her father the good news, he keeled over and had a heart attack! Lincoln Slade, the town's former bad boy, comes along and not only manages to save Jerald Randolph's life, but also claims responsibility for Tracy Lynn's child! Jerald demands that Tracy Lynn and Linc marry, so they agree to a marriage of convenience. But once the marriage ends, can Tracy Lynn let go of this man? Linc Slade had had a crush on Tracy Lynn for ages, but he always knew they could never end up together. Tracy Lynn was a society girl, a woman more comfortable at fancy parties than living on a ranch. Linc, on the other hand, was a loner, the younger son of an abusive drunken father, and preferred the company of animals over the company of people. But as he gets to know Tracy Lynn better, he's wondering if maybe she couldn't fit in with ranch life, after all. She brought joy to his bitter heart, but could he let go of his past to embrace a future with Tracy Lynn? The book started out a bit slow, but definitely earned five stars in my opinion by the end! Linc was a wonderful hero - brooding, emotionally scarred from his childhood, and noble. He could rescue Tracy Lynn from being an embarrassment to her father, but he didn't know just yet that he needed her to help rescue him from his past! The cast of secondary characters was also quite good. The ending just left me breathless. You could honestly feel the emotions of both Linc and Tracy Lynn throughout the book. I'll definitely be looking forward to reading the rest of the Texas Sweethearts series!

Highly recommended

Tracy Lynn Randolph and her mother planned her future just hours before her mother succumbed to ovarian cancer. Now she's about to turn thirty, and Tracy chooses to take destiny in hand since prince charming has yet to appear. But after successfully utilizing a sperm bank and then proudly announcing the good news to her father, he demands the name of the father before he keels over with a heart attack. Lincoln Slade witnesses the disastrous encounter, stepping in and offering his name as father to the baby. Linc then helps with CPR to help save Tracy's father's life. With her father about to run for the senate and demanding that things be put right while he's in the hospital, Tracy and Linc find themselves at the justice of the peace the very next day. Having already lost one parent prematurely, Tracy will do whatever is necessary. Little does she suspect that Linc's intentions are more than just honorable. Author Mindy Neff brings together new technology and old fashioned values in RESCUED BY A RANCHER. Tracy's loss of her mother and fear of loosing her remaining parent provides powerful motivation for pleasing her father. Linc's noble price-like rescue conceals a heart long smitten by a girl he did not believe he could ever have. His bad boy background provides the perfect foil for the mayor's daughter. With a delightful secondary cast, readers will be hoping for another Texas Sweetheart story soon. RESCUED BY A RANCHER comes highly recommended.
