About this ebook

Lauren had been raised to not be afraid of anything, and she lived by that code, that is until her dad died and left everything in her hands. Now she’s not only in charge of her two younger sisters, but she’s running a full-blown Texas ranch. Caring for a thousand‑acre ranch has its ups and downs, physically, mentally, and financially. All she is looking for is a little break. What she doesn't have time for is someone who will only complicate her life further. Chase is back in his hometown. Helping his dad with his veterinary practice is high on his list. So is being with the lovely Lauren West. Years ago, he found a unique way to bind them together. Now all he has to do is prove to her that he’s the right man to spend the rest of her life with.

Ratings and reviews

This was a very well written book... until it was about halfway through. The rest was full of needlessly graphic sex scenes. Would love to know what happens with Alex, but it's not likely I will read it after the final impression of this book. Leave the pornographic scenes to the X-rated movies, and lighten up on the language and you could have a really great story! Most books like this have half naked people on the cover, leaving no doubt as to its content.

I grabbed Loving Lauren as part of a freebie sale, and it's clearly the start to an incredible series. For as much as I didn't understand the marriage for money bit, especially since Chase simply left for college and never spoke of it again, Lauren's story was very interesting. She's stubborn and self-reliant, giving up everything to care for her younger sisters, maintain the family ranch, and hang on to what she can of her pride. Her determination to pay Chase back, even though that was never part of the deal, has her scrimping and saving money she could really use on the aging house she can barely maintain. Her relationship with her sisters is sometimes rocky, but in that sense it's real. She does the best she can to keep her family from falling apart.

i love how the three sisters made it thru hardship growing up without parents and running a ranch... especially the eldest who sacrificed way too much just to protect the ranch and her sisters..
