If We Listened by Jenna Bayley-Burke
Rachel and Evan Hansen are getting a taste of their own medicine. As teenagers they ran away and eloped, and now their daughter wants to follow in their footsteps. Looking back, Rachel and Evan wonder what would have been if they'd listened to the warnings instead of trusting their hearts.
Very quick story. Very sweet story.

The Cowboy Way by Vivienne Lorret
On a wild west tourist train, Miranda Stalworth volunteers to be kidnapped by the fake outlaws she believes are performing their usual skit. She couldn't be more wrong. These men are not actors playing a part. By the time she realizes the truth, it's too late. Enmeshed in the center of a black-market slave ring, her only hope is to trust the promise of the blue-eyed outlaw with the familiar smile. On his first undercover field assignment, Agent Ian McKenna, vows to protect the lovely heiress--just like he would anyone else. The only problem is, she isn't anyone else. She's the one woman he could never get out of his mind. By pretending to be one of the bad guys, he'll risk everything to save her--even his own life. But the true test of his strength comes when he realizes it isn't only his life at stake, but his heart as well.
Good story, intense moments. Quick story.

Ride a Cowboy by Carrie Destler
Sexy cowboy Mitch Cartwright is desperate enough to do just about anything to keep his ranch. Even if it means strutting his nearly naked self in an art class for extra money. When Ava Clarington gets an eyeful of the handsome hunk, she can think of plenty of ways to help reduce his stress. There's only one thing standing in her way--how is she going to get to know him better when she has to serve him foreclosure papers on his ranch?
This story started off slow but kind of picked up near the middle. There wasn't much action to this story. It was a nice story despite a few grammar mistakes and it was a fast read.
