The Bull Rider's Family / Leigh Duncan / 219 pages

Emma Shane arrives at her new job as chef for the Circle P Ranch only to interrupt the funeral for the man who hired her.  With nothing but an unsigned contract and determination to provide a better life for her four-year-old daughter, she finds the kitchen and gets to work throwing out the food left out for hours during the funeral.  The son of the former owner, Colt Judd, finds a strange woman throwing out food at his father's funeral and releases all his grief and worry by yelling at her and telling her to leave.  What follows are arguments, compromises, and frustrated desires until they both learn that everything they have ever looked for is with each other.


This author has done a beautiful job in creating memorable characters who seem true-to-life.  The four-year-old is adorable and curious; Judd's mother is patient and kind even in her grief.  Judd's brothers have the strong family bonds that Emma is looking for.  This is a wonderful story of love that lives in the real world with other people around.
