The Heiress and the Sheriff

I picked this book up at a local store because the cover and title intriqued me last Friday. Sat down on the couch that afternoon and started reading and finished it that night. Thoughly enjoyed the story of the distrustful of women Sheriff Wyatt Grayhawk and the amnesia victim Gabrielle. I did not realize until near the end of the book that this was one of the 12 books in the Fortunes of Texas Series. Characters from these books are interwoved in this book and since I enjoyed "The Heiress and the Sheriff" so much I ordered the other eleven books so I can read about the other "Fortune" characters. Well worth the time I spent reading it instead of doing house work, also had a balony sandwich for dinner so I could eat in one hand and hold the book in the other to read. Cannot wait until the other books to arrive to read more about these great characters.

I've read all of the Fortunes series books. Each book can stand alone as a well written romance. Together the series ties together a large wealthy family. This book introduces a new family member-Gabrielle Kane. The story of Gabrielle's romance with sheriff Wyatt Grayhawk is a good addition to the series. Gabrielle's goal was to find her distant family. Wyatt's goal initially is to keep her away. The Fortunes are his friends who are already going through a family crisis. He doesn't want them hurt anymore. What the good sheriff didn't count on was falling for Gabrielle himself. As Wyatt comes to terms with his own past he invisions a future with Gabrielle. With Wyatt and Gabrielle together a reunion with other family members is set up. Once again the strength of family helps the Fortunes.
