Mercedes Crosby is a veterinarian and a damn good one. She’s just what Susie Douglas needs on her horse ranch, and Mercedes wants nothing more than to take the job and get out from under the thumb of her ex-husband, Nash Crosby. But trust in people is something Mercedes lost the moment Nash forced her to marry him at gunpoint. If the job sounds too good to be true, it probably is…. Darin Douglas is struggling to make ends meet as he opens his new bed and breakfast, The Douglas House. He has his first booking coming in in a few days and wants everything perfect, so he brings the family in to sample the first menu and to show off his new place. His brothers bring the already reluctant new Vet with them to dinner to meet the rest of the family, Darin and Zack. Darin met the Vet’s young daughter earlier that day and already loved the little girl, but he is surprised but not disappointed when his cat recognizes Mercedes as his mate. Mercedes, on the other hand, is scared witless. She had found out a few hours before that paranormals really existed and she was living among them. Now, this big handsome brute is telling her that she belongs to him and his cat…ah, hell no. Nash Crosby isn’t finished with his ex. They aren’t divorced until Mercedes and that brat of hers are dead….

‘Darin’ is the fourth book in The Pride of the Double Deuce series by Kathi S. Barton. As in most of the books by Ms. Barton that I’ve read, both the Hero and heroine of the story have very strong personalities and this book is no exception. Darin has decided he didn’t want to be in the ranching business any longer. He’d grown up with it and, while his brothers and their mates were successful with it, Darin wanted something new. He’s turned an old building into a type of hotel, a meeting center with a restaurant. At times it’s an overwhelming experience with putting everything together, hiring staff for not only the hotel but the restaurant has him a bit frazzled. Suzie and Gerard have hired a vet to come to take care of the horses and other animals on their ranch. Mercedes has an exemplary reputation. She also has a young daughter. Between the both of them, they’ve been trying to stay clear from her ex-husband without any luck. He’s all but ruined her financially, so this job offer has been a saving grace. Fate has made the perfect pairing with these two and it amazed me the plans that showed themselves for her daughter Bonnie. That was amazing! Drama, angst, good vs. evil, and the meaning of loyalty and love from family and friends all come together in this storyline.
