Saddles and Soot
by Cynthia D'Alba
You start off with a chuckle as the FIREFIGHTER meets the
vet. You know what must be going to happen but you are still very surprised as
this scene plays out. You think to yourself NO he just didn’t and OH MY what a
sassy little lady that vet is. The scene where Tanner sends his brother to the
store had me laughing my head off, rolling my eyes and saying MEN. There are so many wonderful aspects to the
wonderful read from the humor to the sorrow. Ms. D’Alba knows how to reach in
grabbing your heart and giving it a twist. This was a book I knew I should not
have started until today but I wanted something to read. I ended up with three
hours sleep. I just could not put it down. There is so much laughter here, so
much fun. As we all know along with the sunshine there must be a little rain
this is where the author really grabs your heart nearly breaking it with
misunderstanding, lack of communication and just downright jealousy. It is one bumpy ride for this couple but one
heck of a fun ride as well.
Georgina takes over running the animal hospital why the vet
goes on a long vacation. Here first day
in a new town doesn’t go as well as she had planned. You can imagine how
surprised she was when she decided to burn some trash only turning around to
find the fire department right in her face trailing behind them the fire hose
running full blast. If that wasn’t enough one hot little fireman gives her the
dressing down of her life. Georgina isn’t
going to take this setting down as they go nose to nose neither holding back. This
starts the entertainment and it doesn’t stop as you set with your mouth hung
open and laughing your way through this delightful fun, sexy, exciting read.
I have to say I didn’t
like Tanner at first he was just downright mean but when he gives that
little almost grin he steels your heart. Tanner is a charmer but he isn’t the
only charmer in this family Zack is something else I really hope we get to read
his story. Tanner has it all sexy appeal,
a smile that will melt you pants right off you, humor that keeps you smiling
but he can be downright mean just ask his sisters that he is watching over why
his parents are out of town. He is ready for the complete deal, wife, kids and
a white fence that is until he has to keep an eye on his brothers and sisters.
He is starting to think he might not be ready for the whole show. Between his siblings
and Georgina it is enough to drive a man to drink.
Georgina has been burnt in the worse way she doesn’t want a
relationship, she does miss burning up the sheets and wouldn’t say no to the
handsome firefighter if he just happens to fall in those sheets with her. She
is one sassy little lady but gentle and strong, she has a way of pulling people
in making them feel calm. She isn’t afraid to take on all the ranchers or
bullheaded cowboys either.
This is a small town with delightful characters that cannot
seem to stay out of each other’s business. We only see a little of this in the
story but you know they are there keeping an eye on things and having fun in
the rumor mill. The supporting characters are a lot of fun that adds a lot of
entertainment to each scene. You are
just going to love Jolene she is going to steal your heart almost from the
first time you see her. She will also pull on your heartstring by the end of her
story you will have a big smile on your face. You have strong characters that
won’t back down standing their ground with a delightful mother who know just
how to push you just enough to make you think and go nuts. Friend that tells it
like it is but supports you no matter what. I would so love to be part of this
small town there is never a dull minute.
I loved the humor, baiting, arguing, passion, love scenes
were hot, emotions, chemistry and just what a fun this story was. Those love
scenes will burn up the pages leaving you fanning yourself and wishing you
could take her place. Ms. D’Alba gives you passion at its finest. The author
has a writing style that pulls you in keeping you invested as you laugh your
way through each page leaving you at times with tears almost in your eyes from
the pain, misunderstandings and sorrow. The plot really pulls you keeping you
entertained from the first page. This is one author knows how to take her
readers by storm making a few twisters in her plot as she spins a story that
will leave you spellbound. Her stories are ones that will stay with you along
after you put the book down. If you haven’t read anything by this author you
don’t know what you are missing. I encourage you to pick up one of her books
and give it a read. Saddles and Soot would be my pick for you to start with. I
just love this very talented author as I am sure you will to.

Summary
Veterinarian Georgina Greyson will only be in Whispering
Springs for three months covering for the town veterinarian while he is on a
research trip. She isn’t looking for love or roots, just maybe a good time
before she moves on.
When his parents leave on their dream fantasy RV trip, Tanner Marshall is left in charge of his family’s cattle ranch, as well as his two younger brothers and sister. When he isn’t ranching, he’s doing duty on the volunteer fire department, a job he loves more than ranching. At thirty-four, he’s ready to put down some roots, including marriage, children and the white picket fence.
When Georgina accidentally sets her yard on fire during a burn ban, the volunteer fire department responds and she gets quite the fire lecture from one very cute firefighter. If there’s one thing Tanner hates, it’s carelessness with fire, but there’s something about his latest firebug that he can’t get out of his mind.
Can an uptight firefighter looking to settle down convince a cute firebug to give up the road for a house and roots?
