    About this ebook



    When temptation calls

    Sheriff Dallas Garwood has followed the straight and narrow all his life. The one exception? When he tangled with Rowena Wright. The experience had lasting consequences he'd rather not repeat.

    That may be easier said than done. Rowena is back, set on restoring her family's ranch to sell it. Is this Colorado town big enough for the two of them? Not the way his nine-year-old son keeps sneaking onto her land, forcing Dallas into her company. Every one of those encounters sparks an urge in him to tangle with her again. This time he'll call the shotsand be the one to leave. But he doesn't expect all these powerful emotions and he's not sure he can walk away.

      Very good book. Rowena has returned to Bell River Ranch after sixteen years away. Her plans are to fix it up to sell it. Having had the reputation of a wild child she doesn't expect to be welcomed back by the people of the town. Neither does she expect to be welcomed by Dallas, who her father shot when he found them together. I really liked both Dallas and Rowena. Rowena has some serious issues to deal with. The ranch is the place where their father murdered their mother, then she and her sisters were sent to live with relatives. Her feelings have kept her from settling anywhere for long which has also caused tension between her and her sisters. I loved the way she settled in at the ranch so quickly. She also made friends with Bonnie, a young woman looking for a job and a place to stay, recognizing that Bonnie had secrets of her own. She also made friends with Alec, Dallas's nine year old son who loves hanging out at the ranch. I loved seeing her start to put down some roots, even though she kept insisting she was going to leave. I also loved the dreams that she started to have about the future of the ranch and the way she started to go after them. She also discovered some information that really shook her up and almost wrecked her dreams. I loved Dallas and his calm temperament. He was dealing with raising his son as a single parent after his wife walked out on them. He was also dealing with his younger brother, who he saw as rather irresponsible, and trying to get him to taking charge of his own life. I really liked seeing the way that he dealt with the various problems as sheriff and how he could see the humor in some of the situation. He was also trying to do the best he could with Alec, who didn't always make things very easy for him. Dallas had never forgotten Rowena and when she came back the attraction flared back to life. I also really liked the way that he was able to see under the outer shell she showed everyone and saw the scared woman underneath. He did a great job of being there when she needed him. I loved seeing Rowena come to terms with her past and be able to make a grab for her future. The secondary characters were all well done also. I'm looking forward to Bree's story in hopes that she can redeem herself a bit. I really didn't care for her at all with her attitude toward Rowena. I also hope that there will be more about Bonnie and Mitch, because I'm really curious about her story. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

      4 STARSMy main complaint against Wild for the Sheriff was it ended. I wanted to know what happens with the other characters. I hate to wait for the answers in the next book.I was lost in the story. I like the characters. There was one love scene in the book.Rowena Wright has come back home after her father died in prison for murdering her mom.She has come to fix up the ranch for the next renters or for selling it. Her two sisters wanted to sell it. They had found thier mother at the foot of the stairs. When Rowena was 16 and the oldest.Rowena loves to work outdoors. She has kept moving from one job to the next. She is restless. She ran away from her Aunt's place and did not tell anyone that she was leaving. Rowena had a rep. as the town trouble maker. She even went after Dallas Garwood the town's good boy to take him down a peg. But a few days before her mother's death. Rowena's father shot Dallas Garwood when he got them having sex in his truck.Dallas Garwood is now the town Sheriff. He is raising his son Alec by himself. Also his younger brother Mitch. He wants Mitch to go back to collage. Dallas is goodlooking and always has someone flirting with him. Alec hates homework,his babysitter. He loves to ride his bike 2 miles out to the ranch where no one lives and explore it. He loves to be outdoors too. He wants to find his dad a girlfriend so he can go to France and live with his mom and her new twins.I enjoyed reading Wild for the Sheriff and look for the next story in the Sister's of Bell River Ranch which is coming in July 2013.I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give honest review when done by Netgalley.02/05/2013 PUB Harlequin Imprint Harlequin Superromance 384 pages ISBN 0373607547
