Rating: Summary: STUBBORN WOMAN - NEAT ROMANCE! Review: Blackston's Bride -- Jarrod Blackstone gets a surprise delivery from the fiery red-head, Abby Miller.Abby Miller works out of Hollister making deliveries to ranches, Blackstone Ranch in Santa Barbara County was a few hours out of Hollister. She has a dream of reuniteing her family of father and her brother, Clint. She hasn't seen her father in some thirteen years. Jarrod Blackstone has taken no interest in any woman since his wife, Dulcie ran off and left him. But "Firecracker", as Gib calls Abby, stirs his senses. Of course, neither ones aimes to give in to the attraction. Ah, but mischief is brewing, when Abby delivers four orphan children along with the bookcase Jarrod ordered. Scrawny, scruffy ragamuffins by the name of Donovan. Oliver was blonde and blue eyed about 4 years old and Katie, a year older was curly blonde haired and green eye. Lily was brown haired and green eyed, about 13 years old and Tom was brown haired and grey eyed, about 12 years old. And all of them were thin. You will get an eye opener when Jarrod tries to convince Lily that she is not dying but that that time of the month is natural. These children wynd themselves around your heart. What the devil was he supposed to do with four children and run a 39,000 acre ranch and no extra time on his hands. Abby did give in and help out for a short time and won the love of the children. Jarrod asked Abby to help locate a housekeeper to look after the chilren. Now that created a few problems as the chilren weren't going to approve of any one but Abby. Bea Peters would have been perfect but the children turned her into a matchmaker. [grin] Now the fun starts. Trouble develops when the childrens' fathers' brother shows up and means to claim the children. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- you will enjoy the time it takes to find out how the children's efforts at bringing Abby and Jarrod together and how they successfully bond together into a great family unit.
