BOOTS AND THE BACHELOR is Book nine in the Ugly Stick Saloon series.

Rescuing the family ranch from bankruptcy has keep Angus McFarlan and his brother too busy to date and start a family. Their mom wants to know if there are no children to inherit the ranch, then what's the point of all the hard to save it. So she gives her sons an ultimatum that they find wives and start a family or she will sell the ranch. She enters Angus in the annual Ugly Stick Saloon cowboy auction.

Angus has no desire to stand up there half-naked while women bid on him, but if he wants to keep the ranch what choice does he have.

CEO Gwendolyn Graves is busy establishing her business so she does not have time for a relationship. But what she does need is a male role model for her son Dalton. She bids and wins 4 dates with Angus. Angus accepts her bids to spend time with Dalton and teach him things only if she agrees to spend some alone time with him.

BOOTS AND BACHELORS can be read as a standalone. But if you enjoy this one I suggest you read the others. Some of the characters in this book have books of their own.

Ugly Stick Saloon is a very entertaining series. Some of the antics of the cowboys and their partners are hilarious.

While Angus teaches Dalton how to be a man, he and Gwen discover that time together years before meant more than they knew. And just when they began to start flourishing as a family, Dalton's father shows up and brings all sorts of trouble with him. Angus has finally found his family and has no intentions of losing it.

Myla Jackson is a terrific writer who knows how to entertain! Can't wait to see what her next book will be about. I know I will enjoy it.
