Product Description

Two years after her husband’s death, Sarah Woodward moves her boys away from their fast paced life in suburban Atlanta to small town Hailey, Colorado. But Sarah doesn’t know a Colorado Senator has earmarked her ranch for purchase and he’ll do anything to get it. Unwilling to sell, she dismisses his continued offers and moves ahead by improving the land with the help of a sexy stranger. A.J. Dodge is a man with a past. He’s returned to his hometown ready to set down roots and make things right with his family and whatever anyone else thinks he doesn’t give a damn. Until his old friend Tommy Thornton asks a favor, a favor he can’t refuse, and Dodge becomes involved with the beautiful widow Sarah Woodward. She’s alone with her young sons on a dilapidated ranch she’s determined to get up and running with or without his help. Under pressure to deliver the Woodward ranch to a land developer with shady connections, the senator sets in motion a dangerous plot to convince Sarah to sell. Dodge will risk everything to protect Sarah and the boys including his heart.

After two years of mourning her lost husband Sarah Woodward is finally ready to step back into life and take control. To do this she is making a break from her, her sons, and her late husbands old home in Atlanta and moving to the vacation home in the small town of Hailey, Colorado. Where she plans to run the ranch and though her two sons are not happy about the move she hopes they will eventually come around.

On her first day there she meets A.J. Dodge, who was asked, as a favor from his friend to go check on her and make sure she got off on the right foot.

A Colorado Senator needs the land she is on if he is to hold up his end of the deal with a land developer; he thought it would be easy for the widow to see she couldn't deal with a ranch and two kids but with Dodge getting in his way he just might have to convince her to sell some other way...

I really enjoyed this novel--a one-day read for me. It was pretty fast paced and kept my attention pretty much from the first page also the attraction between Dodge and Sarah was palpable from the first moment they met and very interesting to see play out.

Especially with the hints of danger we have underling most of the novel.

The only thing I didn't really like about the novel was that around the ending--when the action is about to go down--it seems kind of drawn out. It does add to the suspense a little but other than that I think I might have liked it more if it had just played out. Other than that though and that might not even be something everyone feels should be so--I really liked the novel and I look forward to picking up more from this author.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good one-day read with a little suspense and romance.

Good Read November 3, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I've found having a kindle is very expensive. Reading is my entertainment so I go through a lot of books, usually very quickly. I've started downloading every free book that sounds okay in hopes of a few of them being good, Dodge the Bullet fit in that category. It was a easy ready with likable and real characters. I would recommend it for all romance readers!

Great read! August 21, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. I've got to say I was a little wary of it when I first started reading, but by the end of it I could say that it wasn't that bad of a book.

Dodge comes across as a conceited, rough and tumble don't mess with me rancher. Of course, that's not really who he is. He's actually sweet, caring, and dealing with a slew of personal issues. Not to mention smart and business savvy. I really like Dodge, a few times he got to be a little too whiny for me and I wanted to tell him to suck it up and move on with life.

Sarah is a very headstrong character. She's one of the few female characters I can say I've actually liked all the way through a book. More than once she stood up to Dodge when he took the almighty male protector role. When they finally figured out the Senator was up to something that would hurt her she didn't back off and let others figure things out. She was right in the middle, leading the way most of the time.

This is more than just Sarah and Dodge. However, the development of their relationship was my favorite part. The problems with the senator added tension to the story, but I kind of wished it wouldn't haven't been as long as it was. A couple of times I felt like it drug out. Christy tells the story from many different points of views, and that became confusing more than once.

Overall I'd recommend this for a good quick read. Dodge and Sarah are great and make the book a decent read.

Dodge the Bullet
A refreshing romantic suspense. Sarah and A.J. had great, feisty chemistry. The plot wasn't too far fetched and the situations felt realistically handled.
