I have read all three of the books in C.H. Admirand's The Secret Lives of Cowboys series, which includes: Tyler (Book 1), Dylan (Book 2) and now Jesse (Book 3). I loved them all, but I think my favorite is Jesse, because while the story is focused on the third Garahan brother Jesse, you also get to read about the other two and their significant others as well. Jesse's story is special. He has been burned in the recent past by the same woman TWICE. That is twice his heart was broken, and now he is fiercely loyal to his brothers and the Circle G Ranch.
One afternoon, he stops to help a woman who's car has broken down by the side of the road, little knowing that it will change his life forever.
Danielle's car has overheated and she is SO close to her beloved Uncle's home, where she hopes to be able to pull her life together and start fresh with her little pink cowgirl daughter Lacy, whose father up and left both ladies after he decided that married life wasn't for him and he wanted to focus on his bull-riding career.
It seems that fate has thrown Jesse, Danielle and little Lacy together to see if they can learn to trust and love again.
Readers will fall in love with ALL the characters, including Danielle's Uncle, but especially with little Lacy. And we get a good peek at the Garahan brother's cousins, which I hope will lead to more books!!
I absolutely love C.H. Admirand's writing style. She has infused her books with warmth and rugged family values. You want to meet her characters in real life, and what I wouldn't give to visit the Circle G Ranch and eat at Danielle's Uncle's Diner.
Cowboy Romances aren't my normal reads, and I LOVE these, so even if they aren't YOUR norm, run out and give one a try - I'll bet you'll love these Irish brothers and their gals as much as I do.

About the Book:
Jesse Garahan is the third and youngest Garahan brother, and has all the Irish charm. He’s had his heart broken twice by the same woman, so he no longer believes in love. Until he meets Danielle Brockway and her tiny daughter Lacey, on their way to their new home in Pleasure, Texas.
Danielle’s worthless husband left her high and dry with their little daughter, cleaning out their bank account before she filed for divorce. Now she’s alone, but she knows she can make it in the small town where life is simple… Then she encounters Jesse. She just can’t seem to help herself where long-limbed, swaggering Texas men are concerned. As the passion between them flares, suddenly, life is anything but simple.
