The goal is simple - win land on Rancho Diablo. So Falcon Callahan
proposes to Taylor Waters. Taylor's too smart to fall for a
proposed marriage missing an important crucial and vital
component - love. Realistically there was no way for there
to be a valid declaration of love, they barely knew each
other. It was the furthest from a romantic moment you can
imagine but luckily Taylor was levelheaded and candidly
found the humor in Falcon's bumbling attempt to procure a
bride and possibly a baby. The Callahan siblings have had a rather bizarre childhood
as have their cousins, each family abruptly impacted by the
departure of their sets of parents for places unknown. It
was left to the Aunt Fiona and grandfather Running Bear to
care for these children. Now having served their turn in the military they've
returned home only to find themselves challenged for their
portion of their birthright. But that's the beauty of this
unique family created by Tina Leonard; instead of reacting
poorly they have for the most part joined ranks and deal
with their meddling aunt with humor and respect. So although Falcon is not anyone's ideal choice for a
husband there is much to be admired and liked about him.
And with time there's no denying the mutual attraction
developing. There was no way Taylor could keep a distance
from the man who had a reputation as a wild man who was
devoted to his family. Even though Taylor is repeatedly warned off from having an
form of relationship with Falcon it is their destiny -
this land and the rich heritage but it brings with it
danger in the form of an outlaw cousin who will do
anything to be in control of the land. One of Falcon's
problems is the knowledge he might very well put Taylor in
harm's way. But at the same time he can't envision his
life without her. Taylor and Falcon will have to face down dangerous
challenges to their future, hopefully as a strong team.
Here's hoping they're right. HIS CALLAHAN BRIDE'S BABY is a perfect example of Tina Leonard at
her best.
Strong characters and wonderfully enjoyable dialog make
this a play in a book. Although there is an element of
danger lurking there's no denying that my favorite part is
the humor and love in so many different forms.
SUMMARY
Those aren't the three little words Taylor Waters longs to
hear from her crush, Falcon Chacon Callahan. The whole town
knows the soldier-turned-rancher just needs a bride in
order to inherit the coveted spread north of Rancho Diablo.
Taylor wants more—even if Falcon is the hottest cowboy this
side of the New Mexico border, which he proves one crazy,
passionate night!
Family has always come first for Falcon, so when he finds
out Taylor is pregnant with his baby, he declares a brand-
new mission: to stand and fight for what's his. It will
take maneuvering through some dangerous situations—and that
legendary Callahan charm—to make Diablo's best girl fall in
love with him. But to have his ranch at stake is one thing
…what about his heart?
