Great Reads in one little bundle
Book 1
Roping Love is a short but sweet lil novella sized romance about second chances at love.
10 years has passed since Carrie laid eyes on Chance and the feelings between them has not diminished. Carrie will always hold a special place in Chance's heart and regrets every day that he let her go. Carrie has moved on but feels a hole left in her heart where Chance has always hidden.
This is basically written as a single pov but does have only a tiny bit of the pov of Chance. I would loved to have seen more from Chance.
For a novella, the characters were well developed and easy to become invested in. The characters dialogue (what there was of it) was well done. The descriptions to details were written well enough that it was easy to visualize the happenings but was not overly done to cause the story to bog down and be boring.
BOOK 2
I want a Chase for my birthday please! Granted I am married but I won't tell if you won't :)
Chasing Love is book 2 in the Circle R Ranch trilogy and I loved it even more than book 1. This is about Chase and Samantha.
Sam is new to the area and it's her 30th birthday. She isn't looking for a life time relationship at this point in her life. She has a new business that she is trying to get off the ground and doesn't have time to invest in a new relationship. She is just looking for a lil stress release and a "happy birthday to me" present she finds it in the arms of Chase.
Chase is a lil jealous of his older brother Chance (who we met in book 1). He would love to meet his special someone to settle down with even though he is only 23 and still has a lot of years ahead of him. What he doesn't realize is love is only a stone throw away across the yard.
Watch the sparks fly, the passion ignite and the tempers flair with this fantastic story of love, laughter, and devotion. Age is just a number and size doesn't matter.
This is written as a multi pov and has some steamy bits and even had a heart twinge (teary eyed moment) for me as well.
For a novella, the characters were well developed and easy to become invested in. The characters dialogue was well done. The descriptions to details were written well enough that it was easy to visualize the happenings but was not overly done to cause the story to bog down and be boring. Great storyline and I would have loved to have had more of these two.
All in all, a nice way to spend a few hours. A wee bit longer than book 1 I believe.
BOOK 3
Fetching Love is the third and final installment to the Circle R Ranch trilogy and I think my favorite of the three. Although number 2 was pretty hard to beat.
This story is about Chad and Megan. Megan, was a 14 year old, orange haired, flat chested, freckled face teenager when she had a major crush on an older man. A sexier than sin 17 year old Chad who was on his way to college. Poor Megan knew there is no way to win the heart of someone like Chad and was forever saddened to watch the love of her young life leave.
7 years later, Chad makes a reappearance into Megan's life and boy has things changed. It was lust at first sight when Chad sees Megan again for the first time. She is no longer the gangly, tom boy Little Meg he remembers from when he left, but a beautiful red headed, curvy and sexy woman that filled out in all the right places.
Megan is determined to keep their relationship a working one only. Chad is just coming off a horrible engagement and is not ready for a relationship. But sparks fly, passions ignite and love blossoms with these two and they find themselves exactly where they secretly wanted to be.
This is another well written story with great dialogue, and descriptions to detail. Written as a multi pov but can be read as a stand alone. One thing I did miss a wee bit is more of Chance and Chase. With this being the end of the series, I would loved to have seen their wrap up as well.
Would I recommend this series? Absolutely!
Would I read more from this author? Yep!

Fun book trio
The Circle R Ranch Trilogy by Tamara Hoffa was a fun trio of books. Each of the books (Roping Love, Chasing Love, Fetching Love) gave the story of one of the brothers of the Circle R Ranch. There is plenty of drama, humor and sexy bits to keep this trilogy entertaining. I look forward to reading more from Tamara Hoffa in the future. These books are well written with lovable characters. Each book is a complete book there are no cliff-hangers.
I bought this book straight from the author's hot little hands at a book event. Great choice!
