The Army Ranger's Surprise

I am absolutely loving the quirky stories of The Men At Ease Ranch series. They are not only entertaining, giving me lots of loud laughs, but they are informative as well. Kudos to Donna Michaels for continuing to handle the struggles of some vets with such grace, such class. Her books have helped me to develop a better understanding for their situations the amazing people that support and love them. Leo finally gets his story! It seems only fair since he is the reason that the men started the ranch in the first place. Leo is still having doubts. Leo still lives with the fear that he will fail others. One person he doesn't want to fail is his grandmother. And for that reason he finds himself making the hour drive into Dallas a couple of times a week. He won't admit to the other incentive - Kaydee, the new neighbor just across the street from his grandmother. Leo and Kaydee are perfect for each other if they will just open up, if they will just let themselves have something special. They are so alike. They are both runners. They will run from whatever this is for them. The funny thing about love is that you can't always control it. You definitely can't stop it. The emotional rush of finding it can be scary, funny, challenging and everything that someone that fears failure would never want. The journey makes for the best stories, and this one is one of the best.

This is Leo's story FINALLY!! LOL!! This story is loving and heartbreaking but also fun and sexy. I have wanted to see Leo's HEA for a while and I thought this story was perfect for him. He needed a kick in the butt and Kaydee was the perfect person to do it! I also loved that Kaydee was always willing to be there for Leo when he was letting the past control his actions and she never once gave up on him. Highly recommended!

This is my first book by this author. I've seen promos for other books in the At Ease series but for whatever reason, I never picked any of them up. This book has me wanting to rectify that as soon as possible. Kaydee and Leo were so perfect together, even with all of the baggage they're carrying getting in the way. I loved that they had built a friendship before pursuing anything. From start to finish, I was rooting for them to find a way to make it work. I want to know everything about how Leo's background made At Ease Ranch possible so I will be returning to the first four books in this series ASAP!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*
