BUSTING LOOSE is Book three in Kat Murray's Roped &
Wrangled
series. I love this series! Each book seems to get better
and better. I think this series should definitely be read
in order, not only because the previous books are very
enjoyable but to also get a better understanding of the
characters.
Without reading the previous books, Bea's
sister Peyton might come off seeming too harsh. However,
after reading Books one and two you understand the family
dynamics and how Bea's mother and her manipulations
influenced the relationships her children developed with
each other.
It's kind of interesting that at one point the
male characters all reflect and are able to pinpoint what
is wrong with the relationship between the two sisters,
while the women seem to be oblivious. I wasn't sure, when
reading Book one, if I would like Bea Muldoon. Happily, with
each book, her character seemed to grow and have more
depth. She grew on me. I loved how, in this story, she was
able to challenge herself and feel a huge sense of
accomplishment and capability.
I also like that the hero,
veterinarian Morgan, encouraged her and boosted her self-
esteem in healthy, positive ways. Her brother Trace and
sister Peyton are both good people and love their sister
but, without realizing it, have contributed to her lack of
confidence in some areas. Morgan is an adorable, geeky guy
and they are great as a couple. In addition to the sweet
and sexy romance between Bea and Morgan, there are some
serious family issues that are explored in this story but
there is no melodrama.
I love BUSTING LOOSE and the others in
this series because of the fleshed out, strong, likable,
totally relatable characters. For me, this story is very
character-driven. I also enjoyed the supporting character
of Bea's overly-dressed dog Milton. He made for some funny,
cute scenes. I like that Morgan got Bea's relationship with
her dog and didn't act patronizing in any way.
The only
real conflict in this story was Bea's struggle to find her
identity. Her journey of self-discovery throughout the
course of this book is enjoyable and interesting. I can't
wait to read the next book put out by this author! This
series has made me a fan.
. . .Which is probably why it's best the big city beauty hasn't been back to her small South Dakota ranching town since her teens. But with family business to take care of, the out-of-work actress is now strutting around in her stilettos, stirring up all kinds of trouble--especially with a certain ruggedly handsome hometown man. . ..
Morgan Browning is in a bind. . .
. . .And it seems the only woman who can help is Bea. He claims it has nothing to do with her long, lovely legs, but really why would the town vet hire her to run his office? It could be something in the way Bea sweet-talks every man--and beast--who crosses her path. Or it could be that Morgan can't resist wrangling a woman who's intent on making a getaway--especially when he can see the country girl beneath the glamour. . .
