Fear is the name of his game.

 Nothing’s going right in Melody Carter’s life right now. She’s broke, unemployed, and living in the shadow of her successful fashion-model sister Sahara. But that ain’t even the half of Melody’s problems, the biggest one is Keith Taylor, Sahara’s new boyfriend who’s slowly worming his way into the sisters’ lives.

 Keith’s perfect to everyone else: successful, gorgeous, and at 35 he’s the co-CEO of his family’s billion-dollar company. But Melody feels she has every reason to hate him from his arrogance, his controlling ways, and how every woman he’s had a relationship with seems to disappear.

While everyone else seems blinded by the silver-tongued bachelor, Melody will do anything in her power to prove that Keith is the devil himself.

 Tropes: Billionaire, stalking, interracial, love triangle, office romance, first love, second-chance, opposites attract

A BWWM historical romance. Greta Fay has fallen in love with a man at first sight but it is going to be frowned upon by everyone in their town. Christopher is supposed to be marrying Minnie but he doesn’t love her and doesn’t want to marry her just for her money, but feels obligated to do so for his father. But meeting and admiring Greta Fay for her stance or equal rights for people of color has Christopher falling in love with Greta Fay. This is a good story for a quick read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable short novella in the Studs of Clear Creek County series. These can be read as standalones; you don’t miss anything if you choose not to read the first book.
I have previously said that I enjoy the fact that the author does not shy away from the racial divide and difficulties faced at the time this series is set. I find this quite refreshing as I have often come across the typical idea portrayed that the wild west was a brilliant time.
I love the writing style the author uses, its flows so well and makes the reading experience more enjoyable. The descriptions bring the scenery and mannerisms of the characters to life and I feel as though I am transported there standing alongside the characters as they navigate their surroundings and relationships.
I was a little concerned prior to reading that this book would be similar to the last and I would have difficulty separating the two, but I’m so pleased to have been wrong! The storyline does have some similarities, but the characters and their story are vastly different, and this makes the characters more alive in my eyes.
Their personalities and ‘quirks’ really shine through in the way the author is able to portray the emotions and circumstances of the characters through description alone without the need to state it outright. Greta Fay is a strong female character, and I absolutely loved her attitude and passion for the fight for the rights of the black community.
I do wish the book was longer but I’m happy to have been able experience Christopher and Greta Fay’s story unfold.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a short but enjoyable historical romance with cowboys, what more do you need?!

I found myself drawn in within the first couple of paragraphs. The scene is set, characters briefly introduced and the danger that Lovely Jo is in is make clear very quickly – I was gripped. I found myself needing answers to my questions about what happened. I could not put the book down until I knew everything.
The desperation Lovely Jo feels about her situation is portrayed well through her body language and actions which I liked, it built the tension for me.
It is a talent when authors are able to show you someone’s emotions or circumstances without outright saying it.
Dusty’s own situation is also made clear I don’t know what it was about him but I loved him instantly. As the story progressed, the love I had for him only grew. I found his reactions and thoughts relating to his predicament and the options available to him believable and I pondered whether I would make similar decisions in his place.
Their chemistry was clear and the way they both grew/developed as people made sense in relation to their growing relationship and their individual circumstances.
I love the writing style used in this novella, it was easy to follow and flowed so nicely. The vivid imagery created by the author was able to convey so much and I was transported from cold wet England in 2023 back in time to California in 1895. The racial divide was not overlooked to make it an ‘easy’ love story, so it was refreshing to see that the historical time portrayed was shown not just as the amazing, great wild west often seen in films.
I wish the book wasn’t as short, so I could enjoy their story a little longer, but honestly it is written so well that the book isn’t lacking even though the story is a short one.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging historical romance with a western feel to it. The storyline has interracial, age gap and forbidden love themes, and cowboys! Rancher Christopher falls in love with the much younger Greta Fay, but unfortunately for him he’s already marrying socialite Minnie Locke. To complicate things further, Greta Fay is a black activist fighting for the rights of Clear Creek County’s black citizens. Christopher has to choose between his growing love for Greta Fay, and the fact that if he marries Minnie he will become a very rich man. Meanwhile, Greta Fay’s dreams of fighting for Negro equality have put her at odds against her parents and the law. However, it’s her growing attraction to Christopher that threaten everything she stands for. I felt the chemistry between Christopher and Greta Fay, and liked how their relationship developed. The descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story.

I really enjoy this authors writing. She creates such likeable characters and I find the time period in which she sets her stories as well as the places really interesting to read about. I loved the characters Christopher and Greta, I was really rooting for them the whole way through, they had such passion and chemistry between them. The books in this series are only short novellas but they certainly don’t lack anything. With easy to follow storylines and fast flowing writing they really are a pleasure to read although I admit I would happily read a full length novel about The Studs of Clear Creek County!!
Another fabulous read from this author and I am definitely looking forward to more from her in the future!

This one might be my favorite of the Clear Creek County series. I love Greta Fay’s character, she is a strong black woman, fighting for not only her family and their future but the future of other black men, women and children. I love her fight, and that Christopher and Minnie are some of the people who support her. My heart clenched when Greta Fay is at the engagement party and everything started to fall apart right in front of her eyes, but Christopher redeemed himself in my eyes. I can’t be anything but happy that her best friend Minnie stuck by her, and stood up for her no matter what. Beautiful historical romance.

This is another romance from The Studs Of Clear Creek County series. This a short story but it is packed with some much action, angst, Romance that you can’t stop turning the pages. This is a BWWM interacial romance which is set in a time when interacial relationships weren’t accepted or approved of.

Christopher is a rancher. His father wants him to follow the plan and marry the richest woman in town to secure their future. However Christopher doesn’t want to lie and con his way into a marriage like that he wants to marry for love and when he meets Greta Fey he realises he has found the one.

Greta Fey is a determined young woman who won’t stop until she gets a equal lifestyle for her people. This had lead her to gather some enemy’s among the white people. She doesn’t have plans for falling in love. Especially not with a white man.

However you can’t help who you fall for and even though Christopher and Greta Fey have to face some battles to be together they are determined that they will win and their love will survive.

This is a short read which I read in one sitting. The characters are really well written and the story was captivating

Christopher is a cowboy in Clear Creek County who has been presented with an opportunity to climb the ranks of the social ladder. All he has to do is marry Minnie, a young woman who comes from the social elite. The problem is that Christopher does not love Minnie and is only engaged to her because his father wants them to wed so his financial struggles will end.

A chance encounter with a headstrong black activist named Greta Fay changes everything for Christopher. He finds that he is madly in love with her but is conflicted because he is still engaged to Minnie. Christopher does not want to hurt or betray his father, but he cannot bring himself to love Minnie in the same way that she loves him. Now Christopher is faced with a choice between marrying into the social elite or being with his true love.

A quick read with great characters and a wonderful storyline. Although Minnie is part of the social elite, she is down-to-earth and kind which makes Christopher’s decision a difficult one to make. Christopher loves his dad and feels bad that he has worked so hard all his life and made sacrifices for him. So, when his dad wants him to marry Minnie, Christopher considers doing it because it will help his dad. Greta Fay is feisty, headstrong, and believes in standing up for others regardless of the risks. When Greta Fay and Christopher fall in love they risk losing more than family. A great story, albeit a bit brief, about love triangles, passion, cowboys, damaged heroines, and an interracial relationship.

4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I really enjoyed this story and I loved the characters that the author created with a headstrong female lead that stands up for what is right, even if it may upset the rest of the town.

Christopher is pressured by his own father to marry Minnie, a woman whom comes from money. Even though Minnie does love Christopher, he does not feel the same toward her. When Christopher meets Greta Fay after helping her, he falls for Greta Fay.

Greta Fay is an activist, trying to fight what is right in Clear Creek County, that everyone is created equal. Her fight also upsets some townfolk and make threats for her to stop. When Greta Fay is attacked physically, Christopher saves Greta Fay…and there was something there between Christopher and Greta Fay.

I really enjoyed this story of love, drama and a few twists. I love Christopher’s support toward Greta Fay and he love how strong she is and I also loved Minnie’s character as well, even though Christopher did not have the same feelings toward her and she is also Minnie’s best friend, she never wavered and was so respectful and loving.

Very enjoyable story.

Christopher is part of the socialite elite when he is in the running to marry Minnie but in his heart he is not in love with her, force to pursue this craziness he is backed into a corner, until one night he comes across her being bullied in a field, but can he follow what is in his heart or will he be forced to pursue what his father believes he should have.

Greta Fay is an activist fighting for the rights of the people within her town, once the laws were abolished regarding black slaves she has taken upon herself to fight, which has not been easy. When she is attacked in a field and Christopher comes to her rescue she is besotted with the rancher and falls for him. Christopher then finds himself drawn to this woman and can’t help but falling in love and to hell with his father.

I loved this story, the chemistry between the two main characters is a heart warming story which weaves through the history books and opens up the narrative of true love. I loved how strong and sassy Greta Fay was but also had the secret and vulnerability deep down that she could lean on Christopher in the difficult times.

I loved the secondary characters and Minnie was a brilliant strong minded woman who herself have had a secret she hid and was willing to let loose to her family which would have rocked the foundations. It was great to see the story from the rich and poor sides and that somethings maybe different but some struggles are just the same.

I can’t wait to see if this series continues and which story is present to us next.

This author does such a fantastic job of trying to keep things historically accurate. I lover her stories because, like this one, she pushes the limits, with interracial romance, age gap, and other taboo. I found the story quite interesting. I’m always pulled into her stories right form the start and this one is no exception. It starts right off with the action. I am a fan of the women being strong and confident. That is a nice thing to see in stories. This was just a bit better than the first book. I am enjoying this series. I can’t wait for the next one.

This is another quick read, with a historical angle and some fantastic characters. I loved reading their story, watching as they tried to navigate their world and circumstances.
Although this is a short story, there is so much going on in the book. The author has really packed so much in. This is the kind of book that you can read in one sitting. This is only the second book in the series and I am looking forward to reading the rest.

The Forlorn Cowboy
By: Stacy Deanne

I truly enjoyed every second of this book. It took a sensitive historical topic and handled it wonderfully. I loved the characters so very much. Minnie Locke is a member of one of the members of one of the wealthiest families of Clear Creek. She is also very progressive as is evidenced by her best friend (and her support of her best friend). Her best friend is Greta Fay. Greta Fay is absolutely unafraid to fight for equality. Christopher is a farmer who is living in poverty. He has met Minnie and Minnie has fallen in love with him. They are engaged to be married, despite the fact that Minnie parents are completely against it. Minnie loves him and doesn’t care about how much money he has in comparison to hers. One day, Christopher meets Greta Fay and falls in love but gives her an alias – Cal. Will Minnie and Greta Fay find out they are in love with the same man? Who will get Christopher in the end? Will Greta Fay continue to stand up for what she believes in?
There were so many twists in this book that I found it hard to put down. I definitely loved it and completely recommend it!

This is an author that I have been reading for quite awhile and books that keep getting better with everyone. I never hesitate to pick up this author’s books. They are full of romance that makes her stories hard to put down. This book is no different. This is a well written story about choosing between what your heart desires or becoming rich. You don’t want to miss what happens and what choice is made. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world from the start. They kept me engaged throughout the story. They are well developed and have great chemistry. This is an easy story to read as well as entertaining. A fast paced, hard to put down story that I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is a historical western, something I don’t normally read. But this story caught my interest. I am happy I took the time to read this one. Christopher and Greta are both in love. Yet they don’t want anybody to know. They fight their feelings for as long as they can. Being in a interracial romance was looked poorly upon. Then add the age gap and the times well it’s a struggle for all. This author has written a story of two unlikely people coming together and fighting all odds. Both the main characters are protective as well as heroes in my book. The story is quick yet complete as well as a great addition to this series. I look forward to starting this series from the beginning to see where the author takes us. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Historical Romance
This is an interracial western romance based in a time where it was against the social norm. This was a good story but a bit thin on the ground. Dusty and Jo make a great couple but have to overcome some obstacles to get there. There’s the age gap, some drama, a crime, debt and of course romance. A novella sized story but worth a read.

3.5 Stars
The Forlorn Cowboy is another book in The Studs of Clear Creek County Series which is a BWWM interracial romance as well as an historical western. The books in this series are set in the small town of Clear Creek County where sexy cowboys reside and fall in love. All the books are short easy reads but as I have said before I wished that they were longer with more growth they could be great reads.
This is Christopher and Greta Fay’s story. He’s down on his luck and broke. His life was heading in one direction that could solve all his problems but that all changes when a sassy, yet troubled beauty comes into the picture and shakes things up.
Greta Fay, is a sassy little thing and fights for what she believes in. But can she keep herself safe from the one person who could destroy all she wants and the law?
As the blurb says this story has many tropes with an interracial romance, age-gap, western, cowboy, unforbidden love, tortured hero, protective hero, damaged heroine, love triangle, soul mates.
It is full of tension, angst and drama, some suspense and romance not to mention cowboys.

I had never read a book by this author before, so this was a nice start. Dusty is a grumpy cowboy who is also a widower, and he’s not looking for much else in his life anymore. Lovely Jo comes barreling into his life with a suspicious story, but he feels like he can trust her. They have instant chemistry but neither one is prepared for it to go anywhere at all. Will they find something more than just living in their day-to-day monotony, or will it all be a disappointing bust? I feel like this was a rather good short story especially if you enjoy romantic westerns!

“Are you just gonna stand there watching me, sir?” she asked. “Or are you gonna be a gentleman and introduce yourself?”
He cleared his throat. “Uh, you see me?”
“Yep.” She wiggled her feet in her black leather boots. “You got a name or not?”
Christopher stepped out, feeling himself blush all over. “My name is C…” For some reason, he didn’t wanna give her his real name. Perhaps it was fear of how he’d be looked at conversing with a colored girl in this fashion, but he decided on giving a fake name instead. “My name’s Cal Ray.”
She turned her swanlike neck, and he almost fell to his knees, just looking into her sensual eyes.
He recognized her immediately.
“You’re Greta Fay Wills.” He swaggered toward her, playing with a leaf. “The Negro activist.”
“You mean public enemy number one in Clear Creek County?” She turned up her cute little pouty lips. “You wanna run now?”
“Heck, naw.” He plopped down in the grass so fast he bruised his backside. “Why would I?”
“Because I’m trouble.” Two long ringlet curls bounced on both sides of her face. “The town’s higher-ups are trying to put the squeeze on me to shut me up. But they can’t stop me. I’m the Harriett Tubman of Clear Creek County.”
Christopher snickered, sitting with his knees up. He couldn’t ignore how she smelled like raisin bread pudding, and he loved raisin bread pudding.

 

“Will a broke lovesick cowboy choose a life of everlasting bliss with the woman he loves or a life of endless prosperity with the woman he doesn’t?”

 

The Forlorn Cowboy is the second book in The Studs of Clear Creek County Series by Stacy-Deanne. This is a BWWM (interracial) historical western romance with an age gap, cowboys, forbidden romance, a tormented hero and a damaged heroine, chemistry, angst, drama, emotion, choices, challenges, opposites attract, small town, and finding love unexpectedly.
Another very short story from Stacy-Deanne, which made this novella a very quick and easy read. I would have liked to have read a longer version of this, as I think it would have been even better with more detail, depth, and development- which would have allowed me to really immerse myself into the story and connect with the characters more. I do like Stacy- Deanne’s storytelling and am curious to see what the rest of the series holds.
The Studs of Clear Creek County Series contains:
-The White Knight Cowboy (Book #1)
-The Forlorn Cowboy (Book #2)
-The Lavish Cowboy (Book #3)
-The Lovelorn Cowboy (Book #4)
Happy reading!

Thank you, Stacy-Deanne!

Thirty-two-year-old rancher Christopher falls hopelessly in love with 23-year-old headstrong yet damaged Greta Fay, a black activist fighting for the rights of Clear Creek County’s black citizens.

The White Knight Cowboy
By: Stacy – Deanne

This novella is amazing. I am developing quite a love for historical fiction, especially those stories that deal with the harder parts of history with a kind eye and empathy. This story definitely fits that description.
The main characters in this story are Jo and Dusty. Jo is a young black maid who is running away scared for her life. Her mistress has accused her of a murder she did not commit. She runs to the only person she feels can help her – a 40 year old white cowboy. Dusty and Jo have always felt a mutual attraction but they have never acted on it. I truly enjoyed watching how they interacted and how Jo trusted Dusty. I definitely recommend this story!

This is a short romance set back in 1895. A young black woman flees her job after her boss is killed and find refuge with a 40 year old white man who she thinks is a safe person. She offers her virginity to him in exchange for safety. He maintains his gentleman state at first, but gives into temptation. I liked the overall idea of this story, but struggled with the sex. The book starts off with a history of where and when the story is taking place which helped me to understand the time period. I think if you like romance with open door sexy, you would like this – it just isn’t my cup of tea.

AHHHHH…. This story was too short!!! I was so sad there wasn’t more! It sucked me in and quick!

You meet a young Lovely Jo and find out she’s the maid for one of the richest families in town. But is it all a facade? She has ran away to hide to keep from being hung for a crime she is claiming she didn’t commit.

In rolls Dusty…. Her knight in shining armor! She is hiding out at his place when they realize there’s more to their feelings towards one another. But will the Sheriff stop their potential romance from going further?

After returning home, forty year old Dusty finds a younger looking woman hiding in his stable.

Jo is running from the law after being accused of killing her boss, though she is innocent.

With the money for turning her in, Dusty could fix his ranch but turning her in doesn’t seem right.

Dusty comes off grouchy and mean but is really a good guy deep down.

Dusty and Jo’s first meeting didn’t start things on the right foot and there is an age gap between the two but I thought the story was well written.

I generally don’t read western type novels but I was in the mood to read something out of my normal.

I would like to read the next novel in the series.

This is a Historical BWWM and my first by this author. It’s about Jo a servant falsely accused of killing her master and Dusty a very grumpy cowboy. It’s a sweet and slow burn read. Definitely interesting if you like Historical Romance. Going to give the other books in the series a try.

Nineteen-Year-Old black maid, Lovely Jo, is running for her life when her mistress accuses her of killing her master. Innocent and afraid, Lovely Jo runs to the only person she feels as though she can trust, a 40-Year-Old white cowboy by the name of Dusty. Dusty has always been attracted towards Lovely Jo and Lovely Jo has always felt the same. Do Dusty and Lovely Jo end up falling in love? Is Lovely Jo’s name ever cleared? Find out in The White Knight Cowboy.
This short story is full of loveable characters and relatable emotions. It is a quick read and a sultry romance. I do feel as though it was missing something, which is why I did not give it 5-stars, I just cannot put my finger on to what it is missing.
Overall, I enjoyed The White Knight Cowboy. If you are looking for a quick romance, give this short story a try.
