Publisher's summary

She's here to claim her birthright....

Ex-army sergeant Abby Malloy feels no loss after the father she never knew passes away. Still, part of Ezra Malloy's ranch belongs to her, and if the stubborn blonde has to live there for a year with two half-sisters who are strangers to her, so be it. Nothing could stand in the way of her inheritance... except a local sheriff wrapped in snug blue jeans and a sexy grin.

He's here to claim her heart....

Cooper Wilson, the local sheriff and rancher next door, is having his world turned upside down. Abby is all straight talk and sweet, lush curves - the kind of woman who gets under his skin in just the right way. Whereas Cooper has roots in Palo Duro Canyon, Abby's got wings. But he knows she belongs here. If she can stop running from her past, he'll happily lead her to a brighter future, one hot cowboy kiss at a time.

Long Lost Sisters and New Romance

I didn't really pay attention to the blurb because I saw the book was by an author that I've come to enjoy, but I did notice the cute cover in passing. I've grown used to a certain formula in the author's plots and adjusted to her storytelling style so that I easily sink right into her books. This one followed things to a certain extent, but the premise that brought all the characters together and into contact with each other was something new. I think I pondered the inexplicableness of it for as long as the heroine did and still came up short. I really hope there are more books following that might give me some better answers. Now, while the thing that held it altogether left me scratching my head, the story of three sisters meeting for the first time and forming the bonds of family, working a ranch, and a romance with a cowboy sheriff made me kick back and feel right at home.

The book is pretty easy-going and laid back in its tone and pace mostly relying on the internal struggles caused by an old man's mistakes to give the book tension and excitement. Oh not to say that nothing happens because it does. Cooper and Abby knock boots pretty early on in the story and then retreat, advance, and retreat again. I found their instant attraction thoughts somewhat distracting as that was the primary idee' fixe for them much of the time.
I enjoyed the meeting and growing relationship between the sisters, the action of every day ranch life and the romance between Abby and Cooper, but overshadowing all that for me was the cruel oddities of old Ezra Malloy.

I was flabbergasted when Abby's story came out and then Shiloh and Bonnie had similar stories. Abby's mother came to the area, fell in love with Ezra, they were married about a year and when Abby was born, Ezra divorces her, sends her away with a settlement and tells her not to come back. Then each girl spends the rest of their lives with a single mom knowing their dad rejected his wife and child because the girls weren't boys. And they end up with more questions and surmises for answers once they lived on the ranch. Ezra had a lot to account for because each girl ended up with issues about getting involved with men and being rejected. I just couldn't wrap my head around such a thing. People walk away from relationships and their children all the time, but this was just so calculated. I am intrigued in an appalling way so I hope that each of the remaining sisters get their books and maybe more might come out about this situation.

This was my first time listening to narrator, Natalie Ross. I really enjoyed her Texas Twang for the accents and the ability to deepen her voice and still sound smooth for the men. There were a variety of characters and she made each distinguishable. I would definitely listen in to her work again.

Just as an aside, this one is connected to Long, Hot Texas Summer with shared characters, but can be read standalone.

All in all, it was a cozy Contemporary Western Romance and I would recommend it for those who enjoy spicy cowboy romance in down-home ranch-style setting.

Good story Narrative like a tour guide

The storyline was very good. Light hearted and enjoyable. The narrator reminded me of a tour guide.

Fun “Read”

It’s true it is another fun romantic novel by Carolyn; this one with a unique twist that unwinds a Bitter-sweet Justice.

I have 3 sisters in my family, it made me appreciate them even more.

Fabulous as always

Carolyn Brown always writes the best books. This was good clean fun with a heart warming ending. I always read or listen to her books when I am feeling a little down in the dumps because they always cheer me up.

"Cowboys & Fried Chicken"

What made the experience of listening to Daisies in the Canyon the most enjoyable?
Ms Ross is the best and she puts you right on the ranch. I only wish more of the author's work was read by her. I am not a fan of some of the other author's readers and will have to read reviews.
If you like this story, check out Nora Roberts Montana Sky, romance/suspense.

Who was your favorite character and why?
All the girls of course. They make you want to work a dude ranch for a few days and cook good old fashion Panhandle foods.
You have to love Coop, as he epitomizes the great helpful rancher. What girl doesn't love a man who loves good home cooking.

What about Natalie Ross’s performance did you like?
I purchased due to Ms Ross reading this book.
Note: you must listen to her reads on the new 1.25x speed to get the full enjoyment of her talent.
Her range is great, and her hero/males voice is YUM

Any additional comments?
This is a feel good book for any woman who has always wanted to work on a ranch for just a bit.

Every girl needs a cowboy!!!

What made the experience of listening to Daisies in the Canyon the most enjoyable?

the story about the sisters touched me deeply. I have two sister, we aren't close. I think if we ever had to work through tears,fears and hard work as these three did we could be closer.

What did you like best about this story?

During the storm and the cows rushed the house how they pulled together and show the men in the story that they could get the job done without the big strong men.

Which scene was your favorite?

The big bull sitting on the porch and the moonshine scene. BEEN THERE!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Cooper asked Abby to marry him. The was the most beautiful scene I've ever read. That scene made me cry, if I'm ever ask that question I hope it's as special. Oh there is nothing like a Southern man!!

Any additional comments?

I was saddened to see that there is only two stories in this series. I'm hoping Carolyn Brown will revisit the canyon again in the future
