Mr. Right-There-All-Along

Since she was a teen, there's been one guy that restaurateur Dani Pettit can always count on—her best friend, Nick. Their relationship is purely platonic…that is until a single kiss changes everything. Now Dani is falling hard for the one man she shouldn't fall for—the one who can truly break her heart.

Although rancher Nick Kelly knows he's to blame for his string of failed relationships, Dani is the only woman he ever trusted. Nick doesn't want to be just another guy who lets her down, but his new feelings for Dani are too strong to resist. Do they dare risk their lifelong friendship for a once-in-a-lifetime love?

"Ann Roth’s second 'Prosperity, Montana,' tale is a delight, with compelling, sympathetic characters who share strong chemistry. While clearly connected to the prior tale, this book stands alone. Secondary characters like Big Mama really make this a book whose characters definitely make it shine."  **** 1/2 stars

Emily Miles already has plenty on her plate. She has to care for the dogs she rescues, find staff and volunteers for her shelter, not to mention raise money to keep The Wagging Tail going. So when the new, desperately needed prime-time vet starts stirring up her insides, Emily tells herself it's just gratitude she's feeling. She can't jeopardize the shelter by getting involved with Seth Pettit.

Seth has his own plateful: a teenage ward who hates him, an estranged family he's trying to mend fences with and a living to make in small-town Montana. Tough but delicate Emily needs a full-time partner, and that just can't be him. Not as a vet or a man. So why does he want to be both?

That's life lesson number one for Jenny Wyler. Which is why she's sequestered in the middle of rural Montana teaching in a one-room schoolhouse. Saddlers Prairie is good and far from the ex-fiancé who ran when he discovered the truth about her family. And from now on, Jenny would keep silent about her past!

But for Abby Dawson, a kindergartener in Jenny's class, silence isn't a choice. Not only shy, the little girl may be mute, and her father Adam needs Jenny's help. Determined to give the child a voice, the pair work together while denying their powerful attraction. Besides, what could a cattle rancher and big city teacher have in common anyway? Besides their love of a five-year-old girl. And the damaging secrets they are both hiding secrets that are bound to leak out.

To Mark Engle, it's simple. There's Los Angeles-success, money, excitement-and there's Montana. So when he finds himself stuck playing small-town M.D., Mark is less than pleased. The only appeal is clinic receptionist Stacy Andrews, a big-city escapee in love with Saddlers Prairie and its neighbors-are-family feel. Too bad rural and close- knit are exactly what Mark's looking to evade.

Stacy knows Mark's type too well. A career-driven man like that would never put a tiny community-much less a wife and family-first. So why is she hoping he'll stay? No one can overlook the chemistry between the pair, and soon the whole town conspires to push them together. But it'll take more than matchmaking for Mark to change his life plan, even if his heart truly belongs in Montana.

A Chance To Prove Himself 

Learning that she was adopted is the biggest shock of magazine writer Sarah Tigarden's life. Falling in love with champion bull rider Clay Hollyer is a close second. Years ago, she shared a sizzling kiss with the handsome rodeo star, only to hear that he was a player who enjoyed toying with women. After her profile of Clay called him on his caddish behavior, she never wanted to see him again. 
But as Sarah searches for her birth mother, Clay is unexpectedly by her side. Can this really be the same guy she condemned as a womanizer? As she gets closer to learning the stunning truth about her biological mom, Sarah also finds herself getting closer to Clay. Her head tells her it's a mistake...but her heart isn't so sure.

Ann Roth's latest Saddler's Prairie title does not rely on other tales or characters in the series to move it along. Her characters have compelling stories carrying them forward, and their passion is strong and convincing. Also, the obstacles and discoveries in Sarah's quest are realistically portrayed. --  4 1/2 stars   Affaire de Coeur

THE RANCHER SHE LOVED is a lovely heartwarming story. Modern adoptions are intent in maintaining privacy at seemingly all costs. But finding out your heritage is something worthwhile and important to many adoptees. The road to discovery can be rocky at times but in the end hopefully rewarding. Ann Roth masterfully tells the tale of an adopted adult on a mission. The folks you meet along the way will win your heart. -- Fresh Fiction

Everything Was Planned Down To The Last Detail...

When Cammie Yarnell agrees to do a wedding at the Oceanside Bed and Breakfast, she knows the tough part will be keeping a smile on her face. Not too long ago she’d planned a walk down the aisle at the sumptuous B and B herself—and called it off. Worse, she’s working this event with Curt Blanco, the photographer who knew all about her fiancé’s cheating and kept it secret, betraying her trust as a friend.

Except Romance

Yet her anger starts to fade once the showers and dinner parties bring her closer to the man. Now Curt’s misguided belief that he’s bad for her is standing in the way of Cammie’s trip to the altar—with him.

Stories about love, relationships and the road to the altar!

Mitch Matthews was a regular guest at the Oceanside B and B, but had never before arrived without a beautiful woman at his side. This time he was here alone, to work on his book. So why, if he'd come here for solitude, did he want to spend so much time with the B and B's vivacious owner, Fran Bishop?

Fran had been drawn to Mitch for years, but she wasn't kidding herself—friendship was as far as their relationship would ever go. The gorgeous, charismatic motivational speaker wasn't the type to settle in the sleepy Pacific coast town of Cranberry, Oregon, especially with a woman like Fran, who wanted not just a husband and children, but solid roots.

Could this certified catch be looking at Fran in a whole new way? It takes an extraordinary event for him—and for Fran—to find out!

School for Men

The males of Elk Hills were clueless about how to treat females. But in her five-week class, psychotherapist Zoey Dare vowed to enlighten them, and the town's women would reap the benefits. Not Zoey, though. She'd long since given up on love and settled for helping others.

Every Class Has Its Bad Boy

Unfortunately for Zoey, hers was macho, unnervingly attractive Cole Tyler, who steadfastly refused to change but loved to ruffle her feathers, make her blush and generally charm her socks off. Their headstrong tug-of-war yanked Zoey dangerously off balance...until she collided with Cole's gorgeous chest and sexy smile.

But just who was reforming whom? And who was learning the best lessons about love?

"At times, Zoey sounds a little extreme, yet she's the perfect foil for Ann Roth's sinfully delicious Cole. Colorful secondary characters add sparkle."
