Book Description

July 3, 2012 The Secret Life of Cowboys

Get swept away with C.H. Admirand
a storyteller with "amazing flair...Readers will be left panting."—RT Book Reviews 4 ½ Stars

Loneliness Will Take a Man Places...

Jesse Garahan has plenty of Irish charm, but having had his heart demolished twice, he's sworn off women forever. Until the fateful day he meets Danielle Brockway and her tiny daughter on their way to their new home in Pleasure, Texas.

But There May Be Places He Doesn't Want To Go...

Fiercely protective of her little girl, Danielle isn't about to let Jesse get anywhere close enough to hurt either of them, no matter how much longing she sees in his eyes...

More About the Author

Southern born-Northern bred

I was born in Aiken, South Carolina, but alas, my parents moved back to northern New Jersey where I grew up, which if you've met me would explain a lot. I've always had my nose in a book, have traveled the world over, and even tested the time-space continuum, thanks to the awesome power of the written word.

My love for the written word is a gift from my parents, but the need to write was instilled by my 7th Grade English teacher. One of my writing quirks is that I love to include bits and pieces of my ancestors and ancestry in all of my books.

Fate, destiny and love at first sight will always play a large part in my stories because they played a major role in my life. When I saw my husband for the first time, I knew he was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I've loved him forever, well, more than half my life. Each and every hero I write about has a few of Dave's best qualities, his honesty, his integrity, his compassion for those in need and his killer broad shoulders. I'm such a sucker for a man with broad shoulders.

Happy Reading!
C.H. Admirand

4.0 out of 5 stars Best book of the trilogy July 3, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This beautiful love story will steal your heart as C.H. Admirand brings The Secret Life of Cowboys trilogy to a close. My favorite of the three Garahan novels, Jesse is an engaging romance with charming protagonists and an irresistible little cowgirl.

The youngest of the Garahan brothers, Jesse is recovering from a recent heartbreak. He is not looking for love, but Jesse falls hard for Danielle Brockway and her adorable daughter Lacy. Danielle is leery of getting involved with another cowboy but Jesse slowly works past her defenses and into her heart.

Jesse Garahan is a hardworking cowboy who has deep ties to the family ranch he works with his brothers. The three brothers love, work and play hard and do not hesitate to work out their differences with their fists. They are fiercely loyal to one another and they love pushing one another's buttons. Jesse lives by a strict code of cowboy conduct and old fashioned values instilled in him by his grandfather. Like his brothers, Jesse is possessive of the woman he loves.

Danielle Brockway is a single mom starting her life over following her divorce. She settles easily into her new life with her uncle Jimmy while trying to plan where her life is going next. She is a dedicated mom who is very protective of her four year old daughter Lacy. Danielle is easily accepted by the Garahan clan and she forms quick friendships with Ronnie and Emily.

Lacy is a precocious little girl who loves all things cowboy and she is smitten with Jesse from their first meeting. Jesse is a natural with children and their scenes together are incredibly sweet.

With a little bit of matchmaking by Emily and Ronnie, Jesse and Danielle's relationship easily transitions from friends to lovers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Join the stampede to the Circle G Ranch! July 16, 2012
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.- Mae West

Ah, Mae West! Mae would have loved the Garahan Brothers - Tyler, Dylan, and Jesse. Mae would have admired their dedication to saving the family ranch. Once Tyler and Dylan found their life partners, Mae would have focused her effort on helping Jesse mend his broken heart. Maybe it was Mae who caused Danielle Brockway's car to break down in time for Jesse to drive by. Maybe it was Mae who gave Danielle's daughter, Lacy, tips on how to be precocious and lasso a cowboy's heart. Indeed, Lacy is the bonus as Jesse falls in love with determined-to-be-independent Danielle.

As westerns are making a comeback on TV with A&E's LONGMIRE and TNT's DALLAS, Admirand has a cowboy boot already in the door with her series, THE SECRET LIVES OF COWBOYS, including TYLER, DYLAN, and now JESSE. Three times a charm ... and Admirand delivers the family values and small town in this light hearted, passion filled western romance. Characters from the first two books make guest appearances as matchmakers between the two "broken" lovers. Add the best chocolate crème pie from the town diner and JESSE is a fun filled summer read. With Mae's seal of approval!

I received an ARC from the publisher for this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another winner by CH Admirand April 6, 2013
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jesse Garahan has had his heart broken more than once. However, when he sees Danielle Brockway and her tiny "cowgirl" daughter on the side of the road by their broken down car.... his heart kicks right in. This is the third book in the Garahan brothers trilogy and has all the charm and sexual fire of the first 2 books.

5.0 out of 5 stars "sweet romance that will leave you wanting more..." February 11, 2013
By M. Nix
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jesse Garahan has watched both of his brothers fall in love while his love life went down the drain. Now Jesse pours all his pain and frustration into the family ranch. Jesse is finally content with his life when he stops to help a stranded motorist and once again his life is changed forever.

Danielle Brockway and her daughter Lacy are headed to stay with her uncle in Pleasure, Texas. Danielle and Lacy are in need of a safe place to land after Danielle's husband decided he'd rather live a rodeo life than a family one. Danielle doesn't think she can trust another man with her heart let alone her daughters but it's hard to resist Cowboy Jesse.

C. H. Admirand's Jesse is a sweet romance that will leave you wanting more. I must say I was a little hesitant starting this book because the previous story didn't totally rock my world. However, I am so glad that our print coordinator talked me into giving it another go. Jesse and Danielle sizzle with sexual chemistry but it's little Lacy, Danielle's daughter that steals the show. What can I say I'm a sucker for adorable kids! Every time Lacy says, "Cowboy Jesse" I giggle and I'm left with a case of the "awws." I could not get enough of this little family in the making. I admired Danielle's determination to make a home for her daughter and respected her hesitancy to trust another cowboy so soon after her husband walked out. Jesse is romantic in his pursuit of Danielle's heart and I loved every second of it. Jesse is my favorite kind of western romance!
