Rescue Ridge Series
Book 1: Stalked at Rescue Ridge

Kade Sturgess just lost his best friend. He tried to save him. Failed. Worse, instead of returning to the fighting, he’s heading to a place he swore never to return to Saddle Junction, Texas. His “father” died, and as the oldest, he has to go home to handle things. At least he gets to see Chloe, his baby sister. And his friend Zeke’s fiancée, the woman having Zeke’s child. The woman who also has a place in Kade’s heart.

Breanne “Bree” Kyndall needs to waddle these days; her due date is approaching, and she has to talk to Kade before he leaves town again. She has a secret that Zeke doesn’t think she should share with Kade, but it’s a burden to keep it.

Things changed in a flash. Bree is kidnapped, and she fears it’s the evil man who has been on a killing spring for years. It looks like she may never get to be a mother to her baby. Or ever see Kade again.

This exciting storyline had me turning the page to see what happened next. I'm looking forward to seeing this continuing family saga as the rest of the family’s stories are told, as well as the continuing story of the ranch they aren’t allowed to sell.

Book 2: Targeted at Rescue Ridge
Deputy Travis Barrett was now acting sheriff since the former sheriff turned out to be a serial killer. He loves the county he grew up in and will do all he can to protect it. He especially will protect Chloe Stirgess, his friend’s little sister. Only Chloe isn’t so little anymore, and she’s beautiful. It ends up that Travis has to protect her.

Chloe Sturgess is still fighting nightmares from a few months ago after the former sheriff had kidnapped her as bait. And now, someone seems to be after her again. Chloe will do anything to protect her son, and she’s thankful to have Travis on her side.

The story kept me guessing who would be doing this—someone from the bar she works at or another unknown sibling from her dad’s lifestyle. After all, millions are at stake in the inheritance. It's a fast-paced page-turner.
Book 3: Murder at Rescue Ridge
********************
Team Eagle - Multi-Author Series

Book 8: Knox's Mission
Knox Preston was on a mission. His best friend’s sister was in trouble, and Garrett wasn’t alive to help her. So, he was off to the Amazon jungle to find Amy and bring her home safely. Something he wasn’t able to do for Garrett.

Amy Hunt couldn’t believe what she had been talked into. Her friend Lorna had asked her to film a documentary. Amy wanted to jump-start her career, so she agreed. However, they changed her plans, and now she finds herself in the Amazon jungle looking to film anacondas. So not what Amy had planned on doing. And she quickly found out that the two-legged enemies were just as dangerous.

I was pulled into this story, and there were no dull moments. It was a page-turner with danger around every corner. Plus, they weren’t sure who they could trust.
********************
Texas Firebrand Series
Book 1: Rancher to the Rescue
Adam Firebrand is from a Texas ranching family. He’s the oldest of nine boys and the second oldest of his nine cousins. His grandfather, the Marshall, has just passed away, so all heck is about to break out. His father and uncle were constantly at odds…and now they had the will to add to that. But, a distraction he didn’t expect sort of fell into his life to take away from all the family drama.

Prudence Owens had no clue how she ended up with a baby. And then she finds out that she’s lost three days! The only good part of her life right now is being around Adam Firebrand. And the baby. Not so fun is the fact that someone seems to be after her, and she doesn’t know why. Especially with no memories!

This is the first book in the new series. It introduces the reader to Adam and his closest brother in age…and friendship…Brax. Looking forward to more.
Book 2: Disarming the Rancher
Brax Firebrand, the second-born son after Adam, finds their neighbor hiding in the barn’s loft. It wasn’t an odd thing to find her there as a child, but now she was a beautiful woman…and a singing sensation. After finding out about her situation, every instinct in him fired up to protect her.

Raleigh Perry had left the town she lived in with Nana fourteen years ago to become a singer. Nana was gone now, and the home and acreage were hers. Only, it would always be Nana’s place. For now, it was a refuge. The band, Raleigh specifically, had been threatened, and they had to cancel their tour until they found the culprit.

And the secret of who was out to harm Raleigh wasn’t the only thing happening. A secret on the Firebrand Ranch was about to come out of hiding too. A big, life-changing secret. Loving this new series and looking forward to book three.

Book 3: Rancher on Fire
Corbin Firebrand got a text for help from someone he didn’t want to see. The girl he was best friends with since third grade. They’d decided not to date because it would mess up their friendship…now it was easy to see that was a mistake. But that was in the past. She had upped and married his cousin Kellan.

Liv Holden loved her small-town, but since she returned…things had happened. Besides being refused services and having people being rude, she also got threatening texts, not to mention a dead animal on her porch. She couldn’t stay here. But, she needed help and she only had one person to ask.

Corbin’s dad and uncle were always at each other. Now that the Marshall had died, it was even worse. By crossing the line to help his cousin’s ex-wife… Well, it wouldn’t be good. Corbin soon found out that someone had to stand with Liv and protect her. And that would be him. Another page-turning series!

Book 4: Rancher on the Line
Dane Firebrand was still dealing with coming back to his new routine. After seventeen years in the army, he was returning to his hometown to pay respects to a dead grandfather he never respected, and then he’d be out of there. He didn’t expect to run into a woman who needed his help.

Catalina Ivey was on the run. After she found out her boss was going to use an app she was creating for evil, she found somewhere safe for her son and hid out to finish the app and sell it to a competitor who wouldn’t abuse it. She ended up in a small cabin in Lone Star Pass, a place her boyfriend had spoken of before he died. A place that one of his teammates was from.

The Firebrands are a splintered family. The grandfather had made sure his two sons were always fighting…even in his death. Dane had left when he turned eighteen, carrying secrets with him. A burden he shouldn’t have carried. Love this series, and some things are happening that have me looking forward to the next book to see what happens next.

Book 5: Undercover with the Rancher

Eric Firebrand was feeling a bit testy about having a stranger working on their books. He hadn’t been against the idea until seeing a stranger in the house. A beautiful stranger, but still, a stranger. And he didn’t trust the way she was so nervous. He’d just work closely with her and keep an eye on her.

Romy Nelson pretended to be Dawn Driver to get onto the Firebrand Ranch so she get her half-sister, Sasha, out of trouble. Again. As she met the family, she knew she couldn’t go through with this. It wasn’t who she was and she just didn’t feel right about it.

Once Romy turns to Eric, they get to work on finding out who is behind blackmailing Sasha and digging on information about them. And, Romy found it nice to have someone that had her back for once. Another good addition to this series.

Book 6: Rancher in Danger

Fallon Firebrand is heading home. He’s been in the military for twelve years, and he figures it’s time to come and take his place on the ranch. Helping a woman on the way home changes everything.

Birdie West is on a mission for her grandmother, Meg. She has to go to the Firebrand Ranch and show them the papers Meg had given her. She doesn’t expect much but has to try to accomplish her errand for her grandmother’s sake. It’s nothing like she had expected.

Fallon didn’t know if he’d see Birdie again after helping her out, but when she comes to the ranch on business…and things start happening…not just with his heart but with her safety…he knows he’ll be putting his return to ranching off until he can help Birdie and Meg. Romance, suspense, and other background stories make for a great, page-turning read.

Book 7: Set-up with the Rancher
Grayson Firebrand was the brother chosen to go “babysit” a spoiled princess. Yes, a real live princess. The daughter of a woman their mother had gone to college with. He had in his mind what she’d be like. He was wrong.
Princess Kyra Triesen has to stay hidden so that whoever was out there to try and kidnap her to get her father to do their bidding couldn’t succeed. But now, she was separated from her security team.
So many gangs could be out there trying to grab her country for their criminal activities that it’ll be hard to know who is after her. If only she could find her cousin Charlie who had traveled with her. In the meantime, Grayson wasn’t hard to be around at all. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series so far.
Book 8: Rancher Under the Gun

Ian Firebrand had been devastated when his girlfriend suddenly left town ten years ago. He’s continued to help her father when he asked, though. And this time, she’s back home. Then, to top things off, he finds out he has a son. This reunion quickly turns into an angry one for Ian.

Daphne Lynn Thompson is returning home to help her dad. Unfortunately, he’s just been diagnosed with rapid onset dementia. She’s put off returning for ten years. Now, she has to face her dad being sick and the likely chance of running into Ian. She just didn’t expect that reunion to happen so quickly.

Trouble is following Daphne home and Ian’s. No matter how upset he is with her, protective instincts kick in. He has to protect both the woman he once loved—maybe still does—and his son. This whole series has been outstanding, but I really enjoyed this story.

Book 9: Taking Cover with the Rancher

Hudson Firebrand is feeling out of place on the ranch. He’s considering opening up a taco business. He’s not ready to settle down as his eight brothers had done recently. And then everything changes when his cousin Vaughn wants to meet up.

Anisa Turner had stopped to help someone, and now her life is in danger. As a nurse, she wouldn’t have done anything differently. However, she does have her unborn baby to consider now.

As Vaughn hands Anisa over to Hudson to protect, Hudson agrees without knowing why someone is after Vaughn…and now Anisa. And soon, he finds himself feeling very protective of the woman and unborn child as he does all he can to protect them from some unknown enemy.

The Firebrand cousins are mentioned more in this series as Hudson is the last brother and son on Brody and Lucia’s side. I hope there are more to come.

Book 10: Vaughn: Firebrand Cowboys

Vaughn Firebrand has been in the military for a decade. Unsure of his future, he takes time off to help an old friend. Blaine’s niece, the woman Vaughn had loved and been dumped by, needed his protection. Hopefully, he can close the door on his past for good so that he can move forward.

Katy Castillo thought the danger was over—boy was she wrong—she and Vaughn are shot at, run off the road, and running from an unknown enemy. But, most of all, Katy realizes what a mistake she made years ago and knows it’s too late for a second chance. Still, maybe they could be friends.

Another exciting book in the Firebrand series.

Book 11: Rafe: Firebrand Cowboys
Rafe Firebrand’s life hasn’t been the same since his fiancée died five years ago. To get a call about what he wanted to do with Emile’s frozen eggs through him off balance. That is until he realized what she’d like him to do.
Odette Barnes had to get her little sister away from their stepfather. So when she saw an ad to be a surrogate mother and the amount of money to be paid for it, she knew that was the answer. Odette would have enough money to hide away with her little sister, Andie. But, of course, she didn’t expect to fall in love with the baby growing inside her—or with the father of that baby.
I found this book to be unique. There were so many suspects, and the story kept an incredible pace, with me turning the pages to see how it all ended.
Book 12: Morgan
Morgan Firebrand was surprised when the sheriff came by to ask about a dating app he was on. He wasn’t. But there was his face and information and a missing girl. No sooner does the lawman leave that Morgan gets another unexpected visitor—the missing girl’s sister. Since Morgan’s name was used…he was all in to find out who was behind this and to help find the missing girl.
Avril Capri had felt she failed Mazie years ago and wouldn’t fail her now, even if it meant looking into the man from the dating app that could be the last person to see her sister. He wasn’t hard on the eyes, but she wasn’t looking for a family.
Was someone after Mazie, or was it revenge on the Firebrands for what Morgan’s mom, Jackie, had done? The race is on to find Mazie—hopefully alive—and find the man messing with Morgan’s life. I always enjoy visiting the Firebrands!
Book 13: Nick

Nick Firebrand and his twin, Morgan, finally decided to visit their mom in county lockup…only she wasn’t there. Instead, she was in the hospital. Needing to cool off, Nick runs into his past…and she’s his mother’s new lawyer.

Vanessa Mosely wants to help Jackie Firebrand. Maybe because of the way she left Nick behind to get her schooling behind her and get through law school…to please her father. Vanessa had tunnel vision back then. Now her dad is gone, and she’s discovering he wasn’t who he thought she was.

A family torn apart by a grandfather who pitted his sons against each other. He’s gone now, and the brothers are trying to mend fences…along with their nine sons each. And Nick is seeing things in a brand new way.

Another fast-paced, page-turning adventure.

Book 14: Rowan

He has some decisions to make and needs to come to terms with what he wants to do with his life: continue ranching or go into business with his friend. Also, dealing with what their mother did. He never expects his time alone to be interrupted by a beautiful woman on the run.

Tara Dowling can’t believe she fell for Xander. He was so sweet—until he wasn’t. And now, she’s done something horrible, and her mom’s life is also in danger. She never expected to find someone who would help and believe her in the mountains.
This series is full of exciting, page-turning adventures, and this one did not disappoint.
Book 15: Tanner
Tanner Firebrand is searching for his friend, BethAnne Dyer, who has been missing for two days. It’s starting to storm, and the search is being called off, but he’s not giving up. Tanner is still dealing with his mother’s imprisonment and upcoming trial, along with many in the small town looking at their side of the family as the bad Firebrands.

Aimee Anderson is determined to find her cousin. Her best friend. At least she has Tanner to help her stay and search. As things unfold, she’s thankful to have Tanner to help unravel what’s happening.

An exciting and unpredictable story. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but it was a page-turner.

Book 16: Keith
Keith Firebrand had decided to start his own business. He wants to make money on his own…not what he inherited. So, his first job as a bodyguard is pro bono for a high-profile case. It’ll give his business the jumpstart it needs. Only falling for his client wasn’t part of the deal.
Amaya Katz had a lousy childhood. She was determined to find a way to make money so she’d never wonder where her next meal was coming from again. And it happened. Being an Influencer shot her up the ladder of fame. She was about to sign a contract with a big company—and it all fell apart. Someone was out to ruin her, and they were succeeding. When it seemed her life may be at stake, her brother Killian got her a bodyguard. A very handsome one, at that.
Another exciting book in this series. And another Firebrand falls—in love, that is. Only two are left out of the eighteen Firebrand brothers and cousins.
Book 17: Travis
Travis Firebrand and his oldest brother, Kellan, are the last two single men out of eighteen brothers and cousins. Travis plans on staying that way. He did have an incredible weekend a few months back and almost thought that woman could change his view, but then she ghosted him. Now, she’s on his property, accusing him of destroying her fields.

Brynne Beauden hopes the damage to her field is a prank from Travis. If not him, then it’s too scary to imagine. She ran into him in Austin a few months back, and she’ll never forget their weekend, but she has her mom to think of. A woman who has hated the Firebrands her entire life.

It’s a page-turning addition to this series. What seemed like a prank has ballooned into something worse, throwing Travis and Brynne together—along with secrets.
Book 18: Kellan
Kellan Firebrand’s story is the last in this series. The author did a fabulous job of making him likable. Kellan seemed like a bad guy with his temper. He was divorced, and his cousin Corbin married her. Corbin’s book explains it all. It ends up that Kellan had a lot on his shoulders as the eldest of the “bad Firebrands.”
Kelsey Sheppard had chosen the most popular guy in school. Got married and helped and supported him for twenty years. Her parents had disowned her, and she felt she had no other choice than the life she’d had. Until he left, worse, she made a terrible choice, and now her life was in danger.
Kelsey ended up hiding in Kellan’s shed. And whether she wanted help with her problem or not...Kellan wasn’t taking no for an answer.
As the finale, everything is tied up in a nice bow at the end.

 After a year of running and fear, especially of bigger men, it was amazing that Savannah felt such peace and comfort around Liam when he came into the bakery. And it's a good thing, because the next twenty-four hours she really needed someone she trusted by her. Page-turning book and series.

 I loved this page-turner series. Loved the characters and storylines. The type of series that you're sad to see end.

Book 8: Texas Cowboy Sheriff

Sheriff Griffin “Griff” Quinn had wondered about the newcomer to Gunner, Texas. His town to protect. Then he got to find out more about her firsthand after helping her out of a bind. All his instincts told him she was in trouble, running from something. And too bad, because he liked her but knew she wouldn’t be in Gunner for long.

Laurel Roberts had been on the run for nine months now. After being in Gunner for three months, she wished she could stay. But, the prickles were running down her neck. Someone was watching her. She couldn’t stay.

I was happy to see Griff get his story. The reader can meet Griff as his cousins find love one by one and often need his help as the sheriff. Looking forward to the next book, Griff’s brother Harding.

Naomi Martin is a nurse during the night shift. Someone’s been leaving ‘gifts’ on her vehicle, and she’s not happy about it. And the feeling of being watched as she walks through the dark parking lot doesn’t help.

Naomi was thankful for Harding’s advice and help. But she had to fight her attraction to him. She lost two men she already to jobs that involved protecting people. Easy to say, but harder to follow through as she spent time caring for this remarkable man.

Book 10: Texas Cowboy Lawman

Barrett Quinn had to enact a plan he never thought he’d need. He was going into hiding. Dirty Joe had escaped prison, and Barrett had been warned the evil criminal was heading his way. On the way, he finds a wounded woman. A complication he doesn’t need considering anyone associated with him could be harmed.

Connie Owens didn’t know how she was injured down some farm road. What she did know was that someone close to her was out to kill her. She had proof. Connie just had to stay alive long enough to prove it. Such lousy timing to meet up with the gorgeous man who had saved her life.

I enjoyed this story. I like them all, but this was exceptional. Both the hero and heroine are running for their lives. Great plot and characters.

Book 11: Texas Cowboy Officer

Crawford Quinn, an Austin police officer, is forced to take some time off after being held captive with a bomb strapped to him. His fishing trip on the ranch isn’t going so well either when a storm kicks up. But, everything changes when he goes to a small shelter on the property.

Virginia Porter doesn’t know who she is. She believes she’s her twin sister, Veronica. She isn’t sure how she ended up back in Gunner, Texas, and on Quinnland. But, she feels safe on this land. If she isn’t Virginia, though, why does she feel like she was the one who was in love with Crawford as a teenager?

Captivating story. It’s a real page-turner between her memory lapses and trying to find out where her sister is. As with all of Barb Han’s books, I’m really enjoying this series.

Book 12: Texas Cowboy K9 Patrol

Lawson Quinn wasn’t expecting the blast from the past that came to his sliding door one stormy night. His late best friend’s wife. In danger. Guilt hit him as he’d promised Kevin that he’d watch out for her on his deathbed. He hadn’t. It was too hard. She was the one he’d hesitated on and then lost. So, for now, he just needed his best friend and the closest living being near him, his K9 partner, Kodo.

Eileen Houston Had noticed someone following her, watching her. But after being run off the road…she was sure she was in danger. She also suspected her late husband, who had been a cop, left something behind that could hurt her…or worse.

Another page-turner as Lawson works to find out what Kevin had been into so that he could protect Eileen. And he had to be careful because those same sparks he felt the first time he laid eyes on her were still sparking.

While picking up some neglected and abused mares to bring back to the ranch, Jack notices the big old dog on the porch. He loved all animals, and there was no way he'd leave that big guy behind. All these stories of six brothers include a dog. Excellent novels of romance, suspense, cowboys, and dogs.
Book 7: Cowboy Target
Dalton McGannon was going to get donuts for Miss Penny’s birthday when everything changed. The sister of an ex-girlfriend from high school was in the shop, and she’s not a little kid anymore. And she’s in trouble. All his protective instincts kicked in to protect her.

Brielle Anderson had just ridden her bike to get some donuts. After a hit and run, she’s thankful to be alive and assumes it was an accident... But the handsome Dalton is sure it was intentional. And after the next “accident,” it’s clear her life is in danger.

Exciting romance suspense with wonderful characters. Both human and canine. Funny how when you’re young, four years seems like such a chasm...but as adults, it’s not. I like it when I can’t figure out who the villain is...and the author has done an excellent job with that in this story.
Book 8: Cowboy Redemption

Reed McGannon was always content on the family ranch. His uncle had raised him and his four brothers along with his own sons. Reed's mom had passed away, and his dad decided to take his inheritance and leave. The family ranch. His family. Until he came crawling back for a handout and who knows what other nefarious plans. Now, Donny McGannon was in jail for possibly trying to kill his brother.

 Addison Lowery loved coming to Cattle Cove for her summer visits. Her parents were always busy with their business. Whereas, her aunt, uncle, and cousin showed her what it was like to be a family. Now, she's here to clean up and sell their house. Her aunt and uncle had passed on, and Ivy had been missing for years.

 Hitting a dog was a horrible incident that turned into something else. Addison gained a dog, a handsome cowboy to help her, and a house that someone wanted something from. Another great story in this series. A good mix of romance and suspense.

Book 9: Cowboy Intrigue

Hayden McGannon is happy for his cousins and brother, who have all found love. But for him, he keeps things very casual. Nothing serious for him. So he's not sure what has him so intrigued with the woman chasing a dog.

 Mika Taylor's job can be dangerous, as she's finding out. As an animal control officer. Some people think they can abuse their animals and not face the consequences...like having those animals taken away. But recently, a few of the threats have her a bit concerned.

 Mika's favorite part is finding loving homes for these abused animals. It just happens that Hayden is willing to take on her latest rescue. And Mika wouldn't mind if he'd take her in too. She could use a hero to help her through. Another intriguing story in this series.

Book 10: Cowboy Ransom

Coby McGannon got a note about a kidnapping and didn't know what to do. It said to tell no one. When Laney comes up to him, and her sharp eyes see the note...it sends them into hours together to work out what's going on. And he finds he really enjoys spending time with the lady sheriff, even if she is the one who had to arrest his father.

 Sheriff Laney Justice has done her best as sheriff for the past three years. After a lousy sheriff, trust is low. She's gotten to know the McGannons well, as it seemed the crime sprees centered around them for some reason. But Coby, he was special.

 This is the finale for this series. There are two more brothers, but they went off to start a taco truck together and left the area. Excellent series that's worth reading.
