Redeeming the Rancher (Meier Ranch Brothers #2) by Leslie North



He’s surrounded by darkness. She’s the one who can lead him into the light… 

After his recent military tour, Wes Meier wants to hang up his helmet and focus on his family’s Texas ranch. But when he meets Olive, his focus shifts. The fascinating, gorgeous, and not-at-all-his-type artist wants to use him as inspiration for a local sculpture, but Wes just wants to retreat. He came back home for peace and quiet, not to be immortalized as a hero. Even worse, she’s the sister of one of his fallen comrades, and having her around makes him remember experiences he’s desperate to forget. Livie is challenging his grasp on civilian life, but she’s fast becoming an attraction Wes is powerless to resist. 

Artist Livie Blake may not wear her emotions on her sleeve, but art is in her soul. She’s in Close Call, Texas for an important commission, and to explore the town her dead brother told her so much about. When she meets Wes, she doesn’t exactly hit it off with the rugged cowboy. He’s handsome, cocky, and completely closed off, but Livie’s sure she’s found her inspiration for the military memorial. Wes can try to keep his distance, but Livie is determined to learn the serviceman’s secrets. And the more she discovers, the further she falls for the wounded warrior. 

Livie never trusts her emotions, and Wes wears his wounds where no one else can see. Can the tortured artist and the damaged hero ever open their hearts to love? 


I want to say thank you to Leslie North and Netgalley for another great installment of the Meier Ranch Brothers.

Wes Meier came home in the last installment, but this installment is all about him and his past that he can't forget. When Olivia Blake comes along to be asked to do a commission and wants to explore where her dead brother visited when he wasn't on duty. What happens when Wes meets Olivia and gets too close? What happens when Wes finds out what Olivia is commissioning and will he be able to walk away from her?

All will be revealed in the second installment of the Meier Ranch Brothers series.

Tempting the Rancher (Meier Ranch Brothers #1) by Leslie North



Texas rancher Nathaniel Meier always puts his responsibilities first. With his father dead, his brothers away, and his mother off “finding herself,” it’s Nat who runs their sprawling ranch. But with cattle to sell and the bank breathing down his neck, he needs all the help he can get, even when that help comes from the last person he ever expected to see again—his childhood sweetheart January Rose. 

Free-spirited January always dreamed of traveling the world. The moment she turned eighteen, she left Close Call, Texas behind and barely looked back. So now that she’s home, she intends to stay only long enough to earn some cash and get back on the road. But when she comes face to face with Nat Meier, she quickly realizes the boy she left behind is now all man. 

Even for a nomad like January, wanderlust sometimes gets lonely, and Nat is the one person who’s called to her, even after a decade apart. But for a man ruled by responsibility and a woman whose suitcase is her home, the future is uncertain. And the closer they get, the more Nat worries he’s going to get burned…again.


I want to thank Netgalley and Leslie North for another enticing series. 

Nathaniel Meier (Nat) has been dealing with the ranch on his own since his mother went off to find herself, his brothers are away and his father passed on. January Rose (J) has been off travelling the world for the past 10 years, but limited funds means she needs to come back to Close Call, Texas. What happened when January comes back to the ranch and how will Nat feel when she has to leave after a week?

Read Tempting The Rancher to find out what happens.

The Billionaire's Last Chance (The Beaumont Brothers #3) by Leslie North



Connall Beaumont, CEO and COO of B3 Motors, needs a wife in less than two months or he will lose the business he and his brothers have spent years building. Connall never expected that the stunningly beautiful woman he met at a bar is the daughter of the lawyer who’s executing his grandfather’s will—a will Connall would do just about anything to get his hands on in order to save his company and the livelihoods of the people who work for him. If putting his hands on a beautiful woman will get him closer to that goal, then he’s game. Besides, there’s something about Bernadette Rowland that has him thinking she could be more than just a pawn in his grandfather’s game.

Bernadette wasn’t looking for a man, but when Connall inserted himself into her life, she didn’t put up much of a struggle. He’s sexy and smart and seems genuinely interested in her work as a wolf researcher. Bernadette can’t resist his charm and before long, she’s swept up into a world far away from the isolation and loneliness of the Montana wilderness. But just when she thinks she’s found someone who could be her mate for life, she discovers the real reason he’s been piling on the charm, and their perfect romance crumbles.

Can two people who are worlds apart find happiness together or are they each destined for life as a lone wolf?

All will be revealed in the final installment of The Beaumount Brothers.
