AWARD-WINNING CONTEMPORARY WESTERN ROMANCE

“If you choose only one western to read this next month, make it this one. You won’t be disappointed!” —The Romance Readers Connection

 

DESCRIPTION

When renowned war correspondent and photojournalist Dalton Parker is dragged back to his West Texas hometown to face his past and a family crisis, the last thing he expects is to see a prime pasture of his family’s Lazy P ranch taken over by hundreds of stinking chickens. There’s an explanation for this and its name is Joanna Walsh, his mother’s best friend. 

Joanna is the most uncompromising and infuriating female Dalton has ever met, but he can’t keep from admiring her caring nature and common sense. Besides that, she’s also a good-looking woman with a great body. The dumbest thing he could do is try to lure her into his bed. But when was he ever smart when it came to women?

Believing the oldest Parker son could and should help his mother, Joanna called him back to town. That turned out to be the biggest mistake she’s ever made. He’s determined her hens have to go. Although she dreads the daily conflict with Dalton, she’s fascinated by him and can’t keep from being drawn to him in a way she’s never been before. Can she find the heart he has buried just out of reach? Is she in danger of losing hers?

PRAISE FOR “SWEET RETURN”

“Great characters who worm their way into your heart and a spicy love story!”—All About Romance 

“Anna Jeffrey shows she is a master at writing a Texas tale that is not only enjoyable, but authentic as well. This one should not be missed.”—www.romancejunkies.com

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Joanna Walsh is a busy woman: besides owning a hair salon and janitorial supply business in her small town of Hatlow, Tex., she's also trying to establish a small organic egg business and help out her best friend, Clova, whose son Lane lays in a Lubbock hospital after an accident. Without Lane, Clova has no one to help run her struggling ranch, so Joanna decides to call on Clova's other son, Dalton, who left home years earlier to become a Los Angeles photojournalist. But when Dalton returns to Texas, he's angered to find Joanna's nasty goddamned chickens living on a few acres of the family cattle ranch. When Dalton accuses Joanna of exploiting his mom, Joanna counters by pointing out that in his 15-year absence, the land's had to be mortgaged and the ranch buildings are falling into disrepair. As the steely recriminations fly, they spark a fire between the rugged, self-confident Dalton and the wise, uncompromising Joanna. Jeffrey has a strong plot rich in hardscrabble west Texas detail and a keen ear for dialogue that makes her obvious affection for all her characters most contagious. (Dec.)

5.0 out of 5 stars This book made me smile and laugh. It's fun to read.

This is a new author for me and I loved the story. Joanna is a small town gal in her mid 30's, owns her own business, has a house with a mortgage like many of us and now started a free range/organic egg business. She never worked so hard. She gathered dozens of eggs twice a day, cleaned pens, fed animals and managed somehow to maintain her hair salon operation. Along comes the former high school football hero, Dalton, and her future changed course. I loved the interaction of the characters in this book and actually laughed out loud over conversations and happenings. It was a fun read because it wasn't based on all the political correctness on some issues and facts were facts. I loved it! It is a book for adults due to sensual scenes, however, it is so well written that I never felt it was "to much"...

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet contemporary novel that is easy to read

In the dark of the night I read the twisted characters of the paranormal. But even I need a break from the callus grit of the paranormal and the sometimes insane physical sex in some of the books.

This is my break from the 'dark side'. Reading the wonderful stories like Sweet Return and the other West Texas books.

Wonderful lovable characters that bring me back to my visits to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and the hospitality that I was shown by the wonderful people in Texas.

A delightful book. One I downloaded to my Motorola RAZR cellphone to read. Love having the Kindle app on it so I can take a break while waiting for my takeout lunch or dinner. Or a quick little read while waiting at the doctor or dentist office.

This is an easy read and very enjoyable. I can recommend it whole heartedly.

I loved the boldness of Dalton and the sweetness of Joanna. It would have been nice to have known who Dalton's Dad was, but I guess he could handle that with all he went through in his life in the Mideast. I'm glad that Dalton finally realized where he belonged and who he wanted to share his life with. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Setting in the Texas west, a good book about a cattle ranch and possible oil well, but mostly a love story. A little bit about chickens too. A lot of cussing that I don't like and a few explicit sex scenes that could have been left out without hurting the book
