Bachelors Of Shotgun Ridge #3
The Horseman's Convenient Wife
Not in name only...?
Single father, horse whisperer, Stony Stratton was sure he was safe from the meddling matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge... until Eden Williams arrived on his ranch with an outrageous proposal.
Eden had only six months to make a baby or forever hold her peace. Stony was just the man for the job. A gentle giant if there ever was one, he embodied all of the good qualities Eden hoped to pass on to her child — and possessed all of the male sex appeal a woman could want.
Taking Eden to bed would be Stony’s pleasure, but he wouldn’t do it without taking her down the aisle first.

BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY!!!
This book was absolutely wonderful. Eden and Stony were so perfect for each other and Nicki and Rosie were a joy to read about. I really enjoy the way that Mindy brings all the other characters from the previous books into each story! It keeps us updated with their lives and it is a delight to read how things are going with all of them. This book was so heartwarming. As she took us through the health issues that Eden suffered with I felt a lot of compassion for anyone who has to go through those kind of challenges. I adored Stony and how he treated Eden and Nicki. This book was filled with sexiness, humor, sweetness, low angst, and very close familial and friendship relationships. It was a beautiful love story and a joy to read. I highly recommend it.

I have fallen in love with the residents of Shotgun Ridge. I loved Stony, the strong silent type who is raising his God Daughter, Nikki. Eden is so strong and will do what she needs to have the baby she wants and gets the family she needs. This book is well written with unbelievable great characters. This community is so loving it just puts a smile on my face.

This is one of the most entertaining series. Stony and Eden are almost combustible. It comes across, besides the sexual attraction, they really like each other. They have a sweet, tender, romantic relationship. Stony's little girl Nikki, is the icing on the cake.
This is a standalone book. If you are a person that likes to read books in a series in order, then go for it. Otherwise, each book in this series is completely entertaining on its own merit. You get the small town feel and the opportunity to revisit the residents of Shotgun Ridge. I would recommend this book, especially if you like small town romances or cowboy/rancher romances.

Mindy develops great characters and interesting stories that are hard to put down - this one was the most addictive so far. Stony, Eden and Nikki are all loveable and their story had me hooked from the start. Whilst I expected a happy ending, it was unpredictable and I felt like I was there working through the challenges and the highs with them until the end.
I look forward to reading more of Mindy's Shotgun Ridge series.

The Horseman's Convenient Wife
A heartwarming story of a woman whose biological clock is ticking really fast. Either get pregnant in six months or never know the joy of carrying a child of her own under her heart. All she needs is a stud.. And she finds one in Shotgun Ridge.. Fantastic story. Highly recommended.

This was the first time I had read a Mindy Neff book. She did such a great job of creating a wonderful story with characters that are likeable and relatable.
You could read this as a standalone, but you will realize that you will understand this better if you read from the beginning of the series.
Initially this started as a three-book series. They were so well received that another three books with male characters from the first three books. Then another round of books came out with Ethan’s brothers. I believe as of 2021 there are eight books to this series.
Eden and Stony seemed like real people with real problems. They are opposite but remarkably similar in how they love all those around them. They come to find love with each other when Stony agrees to marry her for health reasons. The story draws you in with drama, mystery, humor, and heart stopping scenes that make you swoon.

Beautiful, sexy, and sweet
Can’t get enough of this series. Keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Every character in the story would be welcomed in my town. Romance, tenderness and hot steamy scenes you’ll crave.

Stony
Stony is raising his goddaughter on his own. He had a housekeeper but she left him one day and sent her niece Eden to him. Eden needs Stony's help to get pregnant. He agrees but with conditions. Will they all get what they need from this arrangement. Each book gets better

Another wonderful book of love and need. Seeing how dangerous a disease can be when you are at the age of wanting a child is heartbreaking. Eden knew this was her only chance. Stony was an incredible man of strength to be a person who would help.

Eden ,Stony and Nickki
The 3rd story of the series is another amazing story of the bachelor cowboys. In this one Eden wants a baby before she has to have her uterus removed because of a problem. And there is one cowboy up to the task. This series is great.
