Jen's Review: “The Manning Sisters” by Debbie Macomber

This is a current re-release of two classic Macomber stories, ‘The Cowboy’s Lady’ and ‘The Sheriff Takes a Wife’. And since the stories are so closely related, I’ll just do one long synopsis.

Taylor moves to small town Montana to get over a failed relationship and vows to spend her year without a man. But soon rancher Russ is throwing that plan out the window. Taylor is determined to fight her feelings for Russ, but it’s a losing battle. So, jump ahead about 9 months and Taylor is having a baby with her new husband and her sister Christy comes to town to help out the new mother. Taylor goes into labor and can’t get a hold of Russ. So, Christy calls the Cody, the sheriff and Russ’s best friend, to come to the rescue. What she didn’t plan on was the intense attraction to Cody. So, what’s a girl to do when she’s fall in love at first sight to one man and is engaged to another?

These are classic Macomber: well-written, realistic, and feel-good tales. Both stories are fast reads, but satisfying. You really can’t go wrong with this book.
