About this ebook

He can’t resist a puzzle…


When Texas Ranger Brice McAllister spies a sexy woman in short shorts gardening in her backyard, he can’t help but flirt. She shuts him down hard, and Brice is astonished when he realizes this alluring woman is also the aloof and dowdy librarian—complete with thick-framed glasses and a shapeless dress—who helped him research land deeds earlier that day. He’s instantly intrigued and sets out to discover more—namely, why she’s clearly hiding herself.


She can’t attract attention...


After one side of her crime family is involved in her fiancé’s death, Maria Giordano puts half a continent between herself and her L.A. home and family. She moves to Whiskey River and reinvents herself as “Mary,” a serious and plain librarian. Her only indulgence is her garden and cooking with her neighbor’s young daughter. And then she meets Brice.


Maria has every reason to avoid and resent a man with a badge, but when she needs protection, the last man she thinks she can trust is the first one she turns to.

Brice and Mary's tale in The Ranger by Julia Justiss, book three in her McAllister Brothers series, is a story of finding love after tragedy and learning to trust. Texas Ranger Brice McAllister has always been there to help and protect everyone, but he’s been hurt and is no longer looking for love. Mary Williams/Maria Giordano reinvented herself and relocated after the death of her fiancé. She was so not ready for another serious relationship. Brice recognized a kindred spirit and slowly works his magic to get Mary to trust him, to spend time with him, to open up to him; to allow their attraction to bloom. This sweet love story has a little drama and a whole lot of cuteness in the form of a little girl named Bunny; Mary’s neighbor and Brice’s goddaughter. Bunny played a large part in getting Brice and Mary together. Although I enjoyed this story, and the series, but wish there had been a little more resolution to the troubles at the ranch. Ms. Justiss wrote a sweet, slow-burn romance filled with strong magnetism, intense chemistry, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Brice and Mary a chance at love and a future together. I highly recommend The Cowboy to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This is amazing. The characters are very inviting and captivating. The possibility of finding a love interest that neither were looking for is written a sweet, heartfelt and intriguing way. This ranger has a big heart of compassion, is dedicated to his job and takes protecting his family and loved ones very serious. I feel like Mary is the strong, silent type which is reasonable, her love for kids is obvious and very touching. Love this series and the family land puzzle adds some intense mystery, can't wait to read what's next. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to read and leave a review.
