synopsis: Mace
Carson is
no hero. Back in college, he came upon a woman in trouble and
intervened—but he was just one irate Wyoming cowboy with his boots
planted firmly on the side of right. Now a successful vintner, Mace
is shocked to be reunited with the woman he saved. But it turns out
she's in Wyoming on business…a corporate executive representing the
company that wants to buy his winery. Only, he's not selling.
Kelly
Wright has
never forgotten that horrible night ten years ago when Mace came to
her rescue, has never forgotten him. The surprising success of a
winery in the middle of ranch country has brought her to Mustang
Creek, and she's secretly thrilled to discover Mace at the helm.
Reluctant to mix business with pleasure, Kelly vows to keep things
professional, until her attacker is released from prison and comes
for vengeance…against both of them.

My
thoughts:
This
is the third book in The Carsons of Mustang Creek series, and while
the first book (Once a Rancher) is still my favorite, I very much
enjoyed the youngest brother's story. The banter between Mace and
Kelly had me smiling constantly, and laughing out loud several times.
Kelly
and Mace first met in college ten years ago, when Kelly was attacked
while walking across campus one night, and Mace came to her rescue.
They were both in relationships at the time, and other than the
trial, didn't see each other again. Now the company Kelly works for
wants to form a partnership with Mace's winery, and she's in town to
present the proposal to him.
While
Kelly is in Mustang Creek, trying not to fall for Mace, the man who
attacked her is released from prison and begins stalking her. I
expected that plot to be resolved in the usual cliched way, and was
happily surprised when it took a completely different and unexpected
turn.
Mace
is the last of the Carson brothers to find the love of his life, but
there is still one more book! Raine, Slater's ex-girlfriend and the
mother of his daughter, has appeared in the first three books and is
still close with the Carson family, and I've already bought her book
and am looking forward to it.
