The Cowboy's Stubborn Sweetheart (Brothers of the Cooper Ranch #3) by Leslie North



Julianna Norrell’s dream of leaving Montana for big city life in NYC was wonderful—until it all went bust. She’d tempted fate by getting a fine arts degree in photography, and believing one brilliant show would make her career take off. But three years later she’s a borderline starving artist, making a living off of stock art photography. Plus, she's just been on the wrong side of a copyright infringement case and no gallery in New York will touch her. Se when her mother seriously breaks her leg at the same time Julianna gives up her lease, it seems fate is pulling her back to where she started: Cooper Ranch.

Wright Cooper has come home to lick his wounds. After being a major fundraiser in a failed political run, most of America has started to hate his guts, and Wright himself is beginning to wonder when he’d stopped vetting his politician’s ideas and simply started funding them. Now, he’s home to dust off his boots and find himself again in the beautiful land that had made him want to enact change for his country in the first place.

When the two childhood sweethearts suddenly find themselves living under the same roof, they’ll need to decide if they’re coming home for good, or simply stopping over before losing each other once again.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a brilliant ending to the Brothers of Cooper Ranch. 

Wright Cooper is a go getter in the political world, but when the man he's endorsing is caught out, he goes home to lick his wounds and finds his ex-sweetheart Julianna Norrell there. Julianna Norrell is a woman who's life was taking off in the art world, but when an article saying that she's in copyright infringement and no gallery will touch her and then finds out her mother has broken her lg, she goes back to Cooper Ranch with her tail between her legs. Can Wright Cooper and Julianna Norrell work together to help each other or will their love for each other get in the way?

All will be revealed in the final installment of Brothers of Cooper Ranch.

The Rancher’s Unexpected Baby (Brothers of the Cooper Ranch #2) by Leslie North



To Maxwell Cooper’s great pleasure, his horses of quality Quarab stock have been well received by American buyers. His goal of selling to the Arab royal family would give his breeding business international credibility and prove that he wasn’t the bad apple everyone had assumed. After missing his opportunity at auction two years in a row, he’s been invited to back to back VIP sales and word on the street is that the royal family is going to be in attendance. And nothing will stop him from keeping his eye on the prize this time.

Lena Fudge had been traveling the circuit as a newbie horse trader, but found herself fired after she passed along a hot tip while having hot sex with Maxwell Cooper. Now disgraced, she finds herself back in her family’s home in the middle of nowhere horse country. Learning she’s pregnant adds insult to injury, and despite her best efforts she’s fulfilling her family’s curse of living at home. She knows she has to tell Maxwell about the baby, but she refuses to ask for his help till she has her ducks in a row. That is until she runs into Maxwell at the auction stables after being rejected from a last ditch attempt to get her old job back.

Maxwell has been dreaming of Lena since their night of passion four months ago. One look at her, and being pretty sure he was the one to pop her cherry, he realizes he’s the father. But Maxwell knows Lena’s pride would not allow him to take care of her, so he asks her to work with him as a horse trader. It’s not charity. As it turns out, Lena is the full package. She’s a dream in the stables, amazing with buyers, and not adverse to a roll in the hay. But when things begin to go deeper than just a sale or sex, they’ll find them find themselves racing toward a bidding war that will either have them living a life of love or losing it all.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a brilliant 2nd part to the Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. 

I've been meaning to read this part of the series for a while and it didn't disappoint as it introduces us to Maxwell Cooper who is a quiet but surprisingly forceful when needed and Lena Fudge who is feisty & pregnant woman. I think Lena is a horse whisperer and she also has this in spades when it comes to talking potential buyers in buying from Cooper Ranch. Maxwell Cooper is determined to sell his prize horse to the Arabs, but will they be interested when they meet Lena Fudge (pregnant and showing). But Maxwell thinks he knows best, will they buy his prize horse or will he be doomed to lose the sale and Lean at the same time. Time will tell.
