River Road
About
AJ Reed meets fiery Kate Morgan and he isn’t quite sure what to do with her… even as she’s sure she knows exactly what she wants to do with him, until her heart gets in the way… and suddenly it all becomes more than either of them ever bargained for.
Taking a wrong turn along River Road, Kate runs into a big, muscled cowboy who seems to know horses and hard living… And works for her long-lost brother, Jack Rydell. She has come to the Rydell River Ranch after finding out she has a brother she never knew about. She quickly decides that Jack’s foreman, will be her hot, quick fling for the summer. In that time, no one realizes her connection to the ranch, until one explosive day when she might lose everything she never knew she wanted, but has found in the most unexpected of places.
Cowboy, bull rider, ranch foreman, and former convict, AJ Reed had a rough start to life that led to many bad choices when he rode the rodeo circuit. Seeking a quiet life now, his full loyalty resides with Jack Rydell, who gave him a job, home, and identity, when no one else would. AJ soon realizes that the woman he just might have feelings for is his boss’s sister, and she threatens the only real place he’s ever belonged.
But then out of nowhere, a state social worker brings AJ a mixed up, sullen, teenage girl, named Cami, who they claim is his daughter. Left reeling and uncertain, he turns to Kate for guidance, as she is the only person who seems to get a reaction out of the angry, rebellious teen left on his doorstep. But how can a man who’s never been accountable to anything or anyone hope to commit to not just a place, but a woman and a daughter?
Praise for this book
"Wow. With each book she writes Leanne somehow manages to surpass her previous best. River Road is a brilliant and heart rendering book. AJ just grabs your heart with his shy endearing ways and you yearn for him to find happiness and security. As for Kate with her brash confidence and yet underlying vunerableness I loved the way she wormed her way into the Rydell family and ranch. Yet another wonderful book and one I highly recommend. I loved it."
"I loved this book! I was so glad I got to read AJ's story. This story gave me all the feels, made me laugh, cry, anger, with some twists mixed in there. I suggest you read this book."
"Truly riveting....So many stories being told in one book! The author continues her winning streak with the people of the Rydell River Ranch. A man working where he has always been welcomed, a woman reeling from a family secret which in turn may cause upset at the Ranch. Then we are introduced to an unknown daughter. Whew! Lots of different little parts that make the story truly riveting. You gotta read it to find out what happens! You know you want to!"
