Valentine Charms by Anne McAllister

Valentine Charms: A Holiday Romance Novel by Anne McAllister. This is Jane “Janey” Kitto and Zack Stoner’s story.
This was a cute and sweet romance. Jane and Zach are so different from one another. Jane has just broken off her engagement and her students are trying to find her a man. The students were so funny. I loved the story of the charm bracelet.

The Cowboy And The Kid by Anne McAllister
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Cowboy and the Kid by Anne McAllister is book number four in the Tanner Brothers series. This is ex-rodeo cowboy Taggart Jones and school teacher Felicity Albright’s story.
Taggart’s wife left him to raise their daughter alone. He has sworn off of marriage. But, his daughter Becky has other ideas. This is where Felicity, Becky’s teacher, comes in. Felicity’s husband was killed in an accident. When Felicity’s Uncle Fred died he left her his house in Elmer, Montana. Felicity thought this was the perfect place for her to start living life again but not sure if she can love again.
I love cowboy romances and Taggart and Felicity’s story was wonderful! This was an enjoyable, sensuous, and fun romance. Taggart is a stubborn cowboy that you can’t help but love. Will he allow his stubbornness to lose a chance at love? Felicity is a strong woman and I loved her character. The supporting characters were great too.
This can be read as a standalone but you will want to go back and read the other books in the series. This is one of my favorites. A great book when you need an escape!
FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Cowboys Don’t Stay by Anne McAllister
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Cowboys Don’t Stay” by Anne McAllister is book three in the “Tanner Brothers” series. This is rodeo cowboy Noah Tanner and Tess Montgomery’s story.
