The Front Range Box Set
Limited time only! Enjoy all three full-length novels in The Front Range Series by bestselling author Charlene Whitman!
Don’t miss this series of heart-thumping sweet Western romance, set in Colorado in the 1870s, when blizzards, locusts, floods, and bad guys make both life and love a challenge.
Meet Emma and Lucas . . .
When Emma Bradshaw’s father gets “Western fever” and moves his family to the utopian town of Greeley, Colorado, she sees no way out of her lonely prison—unless her childhood friend, handsome Randall Turnbull, might perchance fall in love with her. Randall, having moved to Greeley to work for his father, seems the perfect man for her, and she’s eager for him to court her.
Lucas Rawlings, veterinarian and horse lover, has lived on the Front Range for three years at Sarah Banks’s ranch, after stumbling down from the Rockies consumed with grief. Since losing his precious wife and baby in childbirth, he doesn’t think his heart can bear ever loving again.
Emma yearns for the comfort and familiarity of Randall’s company, but Lucas’s easy confidence and gentle ways snag her heart. Facing a new life beset by grasshoppers, drought, and blizzards is hard enough. But when murderous ranchers try to force Sarah off her land, and her brother takes up dangerous company, the lives of her family and the man she’s come to love are threatened. It will take a miracle—and the strength of true love—to come through unscathed in this untamed land.
Meet Grace and Monty . . .
Beset by a sudden spring storm on the Front Range, newlywed Grace Cunningham watches in horror as her husband, Monty, is swept downriver. Pregnant and despairing, she stumbles into Fort Collins and tries to make a life for herself, praying that one day the man she loves will walk into town and back into her life.
A year after Grace’s tragic loss, Monty enters the dress shop where she works—with a beautiful woman on his arm. Shocked that he has no recollection of her, Grace is determined to win back his heart. Somehow she must help him regain his memories and his buried love for her—and not just for her sake but for the sake of their infant son, Ben.
Meet Angela and Brett . . .
In New York in 1877, Angela Bellini longs to become a concert violinist and get away from her abusive father. When her dream takes her to Greeley, Colorado, to purchase a violin from a master instrument maker, she learns she must wait three weeks until her violin is ready before she can head home.
Angela is determined not to let anything or anyone waylay her dream, but when she meets rough-and-tumble cowboy Brett Hendricks, her heart is torn. He is her opposite in every way—uncouth, cocky, and reckless. But she is hopelessly drawn to him, like a moth to flame.

Books two, three and five
For some reason book four isn't in this boxed set but it is very helpful to find it and read it after reading book three and then come back and read Colorado dreams. I'm not sure why it was done this way but I find it extremely annoying. As I was reading Colorado dreams I kept coming across bits that seemed like I had missed something so I went back and found the series line up and discovered what had happened. So I read book four and when I came back to Colorado dreams it started making much more sense to me.

The last story Colorado Dreams was one of those "Can't put it down" stories. I fell in love with Brett and where some of the strong emotions were a bit much I thought it was good and full of suspense as to how this or that was to be resolved. Now I am reading Wild Horses and it is after Colorado Dreams but that is ok I can tell is is going to be another one I can't put down. Charlene is a good writer.
