Busting Loose (Roped and Wrangled)
Actress Bea Muldoon played a soap-opera slut on TV until her character was killed off and she went home to the troubled ranch she owns with her brother, Trace, and sister, Peyton. Bea, with her designer shoes, doesn’t quite fit in withthe ranching community, until she brings her spoiled rescue Boston terrier to the vet. Dr. Morgan Browning may have a way with dogs, but his office-management skills are nonexistent, so Bea steps in and answers the ringing phone. Soon she is taking care of appointments and organizing Morgan’s time. With the animal shelter Morgan runs alongside his veterinary practice bursting at the seams, Bea organizes a pet-adoption event and revamps Morgan’s website. She also discovers that she can’t keep her hands off him and the feeling is mutual, and they consummate their attraction on any available surface. Murray’s deft, sexy, breezy romance is entertaining and enjoyable even for readers who haven’t read the first two books in the Roped and Wrangled trilogy (Taking the Reins, 2012; Bucking the Rules, 2013). --Diana Tixier Herald
