A Buckhorn Baby was Lori Foster’s ninth book in the Buckhorn Brothers series. It was another short and sweet novella.
Amber Hudson had been a staple character in every offspring book so far. She was a meddler, mostly in a good way, giving the necessary“shove out of the nest” so to speak for some of our favorite recent couples. We knew she was hot for Noel, her brother Garret’s fellow fireman, but we didn’t know the extent to their flirting and/or relationship until now.

This delightful romance and Buckhorn novella about the Hudson family is perfectly balanced. This novella was a quick read or, for me, listen, and just wonderful.
Amber Hudson had been dating Noel Poet for several months and is looking for more of a commitment from the handsome, hot firefighter or, at the least, she wants to know how he feels about marriage and having children - eventually, of course. Amber has it all planned out. Well, you know how well that can go, right.

I'm not sure how to rate this book. I didn't realize it was a novella. So after I figured out I wasn't a super speed reader (it was on my kindle, no page numbers), I was a little disappointed. I haven't read any of the other books in the series, so the other characters who have clearly had a full length novel were not that important to me.
The writing wasn't bad, and there was a very funny momentat the start that had me laughing.

Nosy and over-protective family members abound as Amber and Noel butt heads over their future while an unexpected, but sweet, addition to the family is melting hearts left and right. A Buckhorn Baby is a cute addition to the Buckhorn series..I just wish it was a full length story!
Fast & Satisfying Read
I love revisiting Buckhorn and seeing past characters. I especially enjoyed Amber finally getting her HEA with Noel.

Amber and Noel have been seeing each other casually for a while. Amber decides she wants more and tries to persuade Noel (I am being kind in saying persuade) that they could have more. She claims not to want marriage but even she knows she is lying. Noel doesn't like to be strong-armed by anyone, including Amber. She was kind of overbearing at times and didn't even own it. When Noel tells her how he feels about children, she immediately gets her hackles up and doesn't question as to why he feels

5 Stars for Buckhorn Baby
I fell in love with this family from book one (Sawyer) and each book makes me love them even more.
Ms. Foster did a fantastic job with Amber and Noel. Without giving anything away but just saying, my heart just melted through the whole book. I can't tell you how perfect Amber's character was written. The bonus was getting to visit with the whole family.
Absolutely another amazing addition to The Buckhorn's. Thank you Ms. Foster for this family. With each new book, I go bac ...more

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, Amber has been the force behind this generations matches, not sure there was going to be someone that could stand up to her. Noel was good right up until he spilled his secret, which turns out was a deal breaker for Amber. I wasn't sure that I wanted him to be able to explain things away, turns out he had good reasons for why, but his actions were better than his words. I loved seeing him create a special bond, one that seemed to confuse even himself,

Lovely story
Loved this story! But Lori, you can't leave me hanging like this! I want to read more about Amber, Noel and June Bug. Please revisit them. Tell us about their wedding and how they grow together as a family.

It's been awfully long since we have been to Buckhorn
Seems like forever since I've read a Lori Foster book of an kind,and even longer for a Buckhorn book. Somethings change, but never the great writing style of Ms Foster. From the first page to the last, she be we let's down.

I didn't realize this was a novella, so I went in expecting a full length novel where I could get to know the two main characters. That didn't happen.
I thought I'd accidentally clicked further ahead in my kindle.
I don't know, I don't think I'll be reading more of this series.

Sad plot that brings baby June into Ambers life.
Felt it was lacking discussion and romance between Amber and Noel.
Amber has been pretty much an interfering pest in previous books. She is forgiven by everyone as they have their HEA’s.
I never cared much for Amber in the previous stories, so I wasn't all that bothered about reading her book but I do like to finish a series.

Short but sweet (and spicy at times).
Although it is sad that June Bug (the titular Buckhorn baby) lost her mother, she couldn’t have found more devoted and loving adoptive parents than Amber and Noel.
There was just enough angst, and the resolution and revelations were timely. Kudos to Amber for focusing on the good instead of dwelling on the bad that wouldn’t change situations anyway.

It's 2 short again!! It is really good but it's also sad about what happened. But it was good as usual how the family pulled 2gether 2 help in any way possible. But it's kinda funny how he figured out her plan at the beginning and kinda worked it toward his benefit.
2.5 This couple was worth a full length novel. Bummed they didn't get one
I swear Lori Foster never disappoints me! These "benefit books" she has been doing each summer are always fun, and the profits go to such a great cause! Plus, who doesn't want more of those Buckhorn boys (and girls!)?

No great love than a child’s
This was a easy read and heart touching. Buckhorn characters are realistic ones. Sometimes I like a book that is not a “think” book.

I gave this one 4 stars but really it's hard to rate a story that comes in at less than 100 pages. And really after being a major secondary character in so many of her cousins books in this series didn't Amber deserve a real book of her own? The cynic in me wants to believe Ms. Foster was just trying to go to the well one more time and capitalize on this now 17 year old series which has been very successful for her for a guaranteed pay out. I should know, since I've read every book in the series

Lori Foster’s “A Buckhorn Baby” is about family. How family is there to support you no matter what life throws at you. And for Amber Hudson it’s the surprise of baby June.
Amber is the matchmaker of the family and she believes Noel Poet is her match. She knows what she wants for her life and isn’t shy about going for it. And if that means losing Noel because of the sudden appearance of baby June, then so be it.
Noel is the perfect match for Amber. He’s no pushover and doesn’t let her steamroll him ...more

Read this as part of the on-going project to establish a booklist for a friend's group, adult children of parents with PTSD.
I am disappointed in a couple of things. Noel Poet, our hero, clearly has PTSD, and I am truly sick and tired of the facile way romance writers, including Foster, treat this subject. In too many romance novels where a character has PTSD, the author resolves it through the love of a good woman and PTSD is just not that simple. In this case, it is not the love of a good woman ...more

Last week, I decided to take a trip back to Buckhorn and started with rereading Sawyer, Morgan, Gabe and Jordan's books. Then I finally read Casey and Emma's story, Lisa, Shohn, Garrett and Adam. The finale was the latest release A Buckhorn Baby which I read in record time, because I couldn't put it down.

This is a great short story that brings us back to the world of Buckhorn and the next generation. The wonderful thing about this book is there are a few cameos of prior Buckhorn characters which only add to the depth of the story.

Another Lori Foster, can you tell I was on a kick? This is the last one that needed reading. Finally Amber gets her story with Noel. Problem is that Noel won't cooperate, he sees all her tricks and games but he will not be controlled.
Destiny's a tricky thing though, and it is about to throw Amber and Noel for a loop. A life changing loop that will change both their lives for the better.

Short and sweet with a little bit of hotness thrown in. I absolutely love Lori Foster's Buckhorn series and these benefit novellas she writes to help a no-kill animal shelter are just so amazing. If the cover is enough to melt your heart then this story will definitely make you a gooey mess. Noel and Amber finally get their story told but there are a few surprises that made it seem like they wouldn’t reach their HEA. But they did and the journey there was just so wonderful. A definite must read

So far hands down my favorite book of the series! It had my emotions on high alert, but also had its funny moments as well.
Noel got more than he bargained for with Amber but he went in full throttle without a second glance. Finding out that Noel didn’t want kids wasn’t really a shocker nor was the fact that he turned to putty in June Bug’s hands. Amber I felt handled everything that happened extremely well, it takes a strong person to hold things together like she does.

Another sweet, wonderful addition to the Buckhorn series. Amber's book is one I've been waiting for, it's been fun watching Amber meddle in her family's love lives but now it's her turn. Noel is the sexy, hot firefighter that Amber's been in love with for a while. Now her life is changing with one phone call & it's not looking like it something that Noel will be going along with or will he. Lori Foster's Buckhorn series always leaves you with a great feeling.

I loved going back to Buckhorn & visiting the family again. It was fun having the focus on Amber & Noel. Amber was her usual sassy, in control person.
Noel is a firefighter that works with Amber's brother Garrett & Amber owns & runs a bookstore in Buckhorn Kentucky. I don't want to give too much away, but I loved this story. It was great to see the family still as close as ever, helping out when necessary. And to see Amber & Noel finally get their happy ever after. ...more
