Series:
Texas Cattleman's Club: Fathers and Sons (Book 6)
“All of Royal, Texas, wants to know who the father is.”
And a beautiful outsider knows the truth.
Rancher Colt Black is stunned to learn he has a secret
son. And he owes Sierra Morgan big-time for bringing him together with baby
Micah. What Colt feels for the intense reporter goes beyond gratitude, however
-- and that's a problem. Indulging in the connection with Sierra is an
irresistible risk, especially after she moves onto the ranch to help him with
the baby. But soon Colt learns Sierra's life-changing secret…and their newfound
arrangement may never be the same.
Good conclusion to the Fathers and Sons mini-series.
Sierra is a journalist who has worked hard from Book One to find the father of
an infant boy found abandoned in the hospital parking lot. She believes she has
done so but is frustrated at the lack of response to her texts and emails. In
desperation, she finally sends one last bluntly worded text, hoping for a
response. She never expected him to show up on her doorstep the next day.
Colt was stunned to find out that he was the father of an
infant son. He has been in France for the last year, establishing a winery that
had been his grandfather's dream. When he finds out the circumstances of
Micah's birth and abandonment, he is riddled with guilt. Now he is determined
to be the best father possible to little Micah, even if that means trusting a
journalist to teach him.
I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Sierra and Colt
develop. Over the past few months, Sierra has become attached to the little
boy, so she is happy to help Colt while he and Micah get to know each other.
This entails moving in with Colt, which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for
the inconvenient attraction she feels for him. Colt is just as attracted to
Sierra, but his guilt over Micah's mother makes him reluctant to do anything
about it. To reinforce his decision, he tells Sierra he plans to return to France
and take Micah with him as soon as possible. This upsets Sierra, who thinks
they should remain in Royal. She hopes she can convince him to stay.
I loved seeing Colt bond with little Micah. From the
moment he arrived, it was obvious that Colt was all-in as a father. From
feeding to teething to bedtime, Colt was sweet in his efforts to do it all. But
all those "daddy lessons" meant time spent with Sierra, and the
sparks between them continued to grow. Giving into the attraction is
inevitable, but things get complicated when Sierra's secrets come to light. One
is personal, and one is professional, and either can derail their growing
relationship.
I ached for Sierra with her personal secret and its
effect on her life and self-worth. It was easy to understand why Micah meant so
much to her and why it hurt to think of him and Colt leaving Royal. I loved
Colt's reaction when she told him and how much it meant to her. The
professional secret wasn't as easily dealt with. While searching for Micah's
father, Sierra has also been researching one of Royal's founders for a book. She
has been searching for the woman's diary to get the answers she needs and
believes it is on Colt's ranch. With his distrust of reporters, she delays
telling him of her search until she finds the book. He doesn't take it well. I
ached for both of them as their conflict pulled them apart, leaving them miserable.
I liked how they faced their issues and found a way forward together.
