Dinca’s review of The Cowboy’s Triplets (Callahan Cowboys, Book 1) by Tina Leonard
Contemporary Romance published by Harlequin American Romance 3 May 11
This story is a disaster waiting to happen and I am looking forward to all of them. There is a lot of plot planning for the saga that keeps the storyline going and
going and you start to fall in love with all the Callahan brothers and their lovely willful aunt.
Pete Callahan hates to be manipulated by anyone into doing things he doesn’t want to do. Especially his conniving willful Aunt Fiona. He would do just about anything for her, but marriage? When all the brothers decide he’s to be the fall guy just because he’s had a long-time girlfriend, which he thought he had kept secret, what a laugh. Nothing is a secret in this small town.
Jackie Samuels is one woman who can take care of herself. I really fell in love with this character. She is hard working, strong emotionally and physically with a kind and loving heart. After all, she has hidden her love for Pete Callahan for five long years. But enough is enough. She needs a change in her life and it might as well start on the homefront. After breaking up with Pete and sending him on his way, she decides a job change is next. On a leap of faith, she quits her job as a nurse and starts a business with a friend. A wedding business, no less. Kind of ironic for someone who is in love with a confirmed bachelor?
When Pete does decide to get married, he blows his chance and Jackie rejects him again. When Pete finds out he is going to be a father. he blows a proposal all over again. Well, at least he can tell his brothers how not to get a gal to say yes!
Triplets or not, there is only one reason Jackie is going to get married. LOVE! Why does it take so long for the guy to figure that out? Pete ramrods her into a quick wedding almost on doctor’s orders. But all is still not well on the homefront. You will just have to read it for yourself. I am happy I was there until the end… or the beginning of the next story of the Callahan Cowboys.
There are so many single women in this story I am having a hard time deciding who will end up with which brother. I am so happy I got in on the beginning of a series, I am bubbling with excitement. This story has so many mysteries, I am wondering if they will all stay hidden until the last brother gets hitched or if we get a little satisfaction one story at a time.
