Ratings and reviews

Gavin is everything you would expect a creation of Brenda Jackson's imagination to be. Overpowering, controlling, easy on the eyes but havoc to the heart. His attraction to Layla, was sure to set the roof on fire. Mysterious happenings and surprising twists kept me glued to The Rancher Returns for days on end. I really don't believe Ms. Jackson will ever miss with her style of writing and her sultry characters. Gavin with his bedroom eyes and alpha ways is a character that gets under the skin. Layla has more of a subdued personality that creeps us on you and draws a reader in bit by bit. I fell for this author when I read my first Westmoreland story and grow fonder with every read.

In true Brenda Jackson stylings, this story brought together all the elements of a good love story! Strong characters with colorful personalities that stand well on their own, but even better together! I loved it, as usual...

Ms. Jackson never misses with her books. I'm a long time fan and am delighted that she's still making her fans anxiously awaiting the "next one." I did read and enjoy "The Rancher."
