Rating:
Summary: Complicated Romance
Review: Back cover reads:
The bride prize!
Eleven years ago Seth O'Connor had left Josie McAllister brokenhearted--and pregnant! Josie was convinced the good-looking cowboy had found it easier to believe the lies about her reputation than to accept the truth--that he was the father of her child!
But now Seth was back--and in his hands was a legal document that laid claim not only to McAllister property but to Josie, too! It seemed her father had gambled not just the family home but Josie's future, on one game of cards!
Seth was determined to claim both, and Josie could either give up her home or marry a man she'd taught herself to hate...

Review: BRIDE INCLUDED is an emotionally rich book that sizzles with sexual tension. Janelle Denison has written a to-die-for hero in Seth O'Connor -- a sexy, smooth talking cowboy who can hang his Stetson on my bedpost anytime. Part of the Back To The Ranch series, this is one book that's reignited my interest in cowboys, babies, and brides. I look forward to reading more books by this gifted author.

Summary: Good story...
Review: I have read a couple of this author's books and she never fails to entertain me and leave me with a smile after closing the book. I had one problem with the plot though...why didn't the hero and heroine talk before all the misunderstanding happened? The whole lies/rumors part was a little unbelivable. They wasted eleven years on something that was said in high school...BUT still a great book!

Summary: Lost in a card game.
Review: Seth O'Connor had believed the lies about Josie McAllister and refused to believe the baby she was carrying was his child. Now, eleven years later, single mother Josie and her daughter discover that Josie's father lost the ranch to Seth. If they marry, Josie can retain half interest. Refuse and everything belongs to Seth.

For next ranch neighbors, Seth and Josie seem to know very little about each other's lives. Yet Seth expected Josie to fall into his arms, after implying she was a whore. A good story that keeps your interest, once you get past some plot holes at the beginning.
