Romance Comedy

Swacovian Crown Princess Alexandra Louisa Eleanor Evangeline Von Claremont known as A-Lee had come to the Texas Rose Ranch for a reason. She will do whatever she can to keep the promise she made to her grandmother before she died. She would try to find Llewellyn Bradford, the man her grandmother loved all those years ago and she would deliver her grandmother's letters to him. After all, he doesn't even know that her mother is his daughter and she is his granddaughter. The last anyone knew was that he had worked on the Texas Rose Ranch. Having never been to Texas, A-Lee had tried to prepare by flying coach and dressing in what her Swacovian dressmaker told her was appropriate. This explains the red fringed and sequined shirt, bejeweled jeans, Western boots with roses, and a hat even though it was September in Texas. It was no surprise people asked if she was a rodeo queen.  A-Lee didn't even consider herself to be princess material, let alone a queen. The first person she meets is T-Bone, the youngest of the five Rose sons, and he is immediately smitten. He told her he will try to help find who she is looking for, but what he really wants is for her to stay. Can he convince her?

A-Lee is a delightful protagonist who at Rose Ranch found people who accept her for who she really is and not because she is royalty. While she loved her family and her home, she found herself becoming attached to the ranch and the Rose family, especially T-Bone. The Rose men tended to fall in love quickly when they found the right woman and T-bone was no exception. But, there were obstacles to overcome, and perhaps the biggest one was he didn't know how A-Lee felt about him. Were there too many cultural differences?

TEXAS ROSE HAPPILY EVER-AFTER by Katie Graykowski is the fifth book in the Texas Rose Ranch series and while it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the rest of the books in the series because they are just as enjoyable as this one. The dialogue is witty and there are many laugh-out-loud moments. The characters are charming and three-dimensional. All the elements of this story come together perfectly to give readers a heartwarming story. This book is well worth reading.

SUMMARY

From International Bestselling Author Katie Graykowski comes a story about love, laughter, and ranching. The fifth installment of A Texas Rose Ranch series will prove that everything is bigger in Texas and love will always find a way.

Swacovian Crown Princess Alexandra Louisa Eleanor Evangeline Von Claremont known as A-Lee is on a mission to find her maternal grandfather. She promised her beloved grandmother as the woman lay dying that she would find the man who her grandmother had loved and then lost contact with during the Korean War.

After all, the man has a daughter and a granddaughter that he doesn’t know exist. Over the years her grandmother had looked for him, but in 1965 he disappeared. The last place he worked was the Texas Rose Ranch. A-Lee must find him. It was her grandmother’s dying wish. She will not fail. Her whole life has led up to this point. Nothing will stop her. Until she runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere.

San Antonio—T-Bone—Rose is the fifth son of the famed Texas Rose Ranch. It may be the second largest ranch in Texas, but it’s the most profitable by far. He’s finally home for good with his newly minted PhD in Agribusiness. He’s taking over the farming arm of the family business. The ranch is going non-GMO whether the family likes it or not. He knows best. It’s his way or the highway. Speaking of the highway, there seems to be a tall chestnut-haired woman wearing a red sequin crop top walking purposefully down the middle of Highway 16.

After some serious convincing, T-Bone talks A-Lee into taking a ride from him to the Texas Rose Ranch. Together they tear the ranch apart looking for clues to the mystery that is Llewellyn Bradford.

What they find, changes their lives forever.
