Synopsis (Goodreads):
The Invitation
Jackie O’Neill, a beautiful daredevil pilot, has come home to Colorado, looking to settle down. But when William Montgomery finds her, a thrilling adventure begins—for little Billy, the lovesick boy who adored her, is now definitely a man, and still madly in love with her…

Matchmakers
Wall Street investor Kane Taggert is fair game for matchmaking. When he reluctantly agrees to lead four urbane women on a western trail ride, rugged Kane is about to make a rocky connection with an outspoken New Yorker—and sparks fly the minute these city slickers saddle up!

A Perfect Arrangement
Dorie Latham wants a husband—a plain, easygoing fellow, and not the handsomely heroic type like her sister Rowena married. With Rowena coming to Texas to find her a mate, Dorie needs to act fast—and after she accuses Cole Hunter of being an aging gunslinger and a swaggering killer, she asks him to marry her…
Thoughts on The Invitation: Okay. We have some Montgomerys and Taggerts (and a bonus couple!) and I AM HERE FOR IT!

The Invitation - One of Jace and Nellie's children, William is an old soul. He fell in love with Jackie when he was a kid and that love has never wavered. Jackie isn't as quick to fall, though. Or maybe she is, but she has to work her head around being older than William before they can end up where they need to be. A ghost town, some daredevil flying, and family. I kinda love the callback to Wishes and seeing Jace and Nellie in their happy place as one of their kiddos finds his happiness with his lady.

Matchmakers - Kane (Mike's twin and father two two delightful little devils of his own) and Cale (mystery writer and Kane's bane) are up. Kane gets roped into leading a trail ride and he and Cale butt heads from the start. As the family saying goes, though, you marry the one who can tell the twins apart and GUESS WHAT CALE CAN DO? One sexy encounter in a ghost town, an over the top gesture, and two adorable little demons who know when something good crosses their path.

A Perfect Arrangement - Dorie and Cole are our non-Montgomery/Taggert couple and they're kinda great. Dorie doesn't have the best social skills and unintentionally insults Cole left and right on their first meeting. Thanks to Cole's sense of justice, he ends up taking the job Dorie proposed and things take a TURN before they know it. As in, they're person-napped off their train, being dragged around the countryside by a gang, and Dorie's dancing on bars to cause a distraction. Honestly, this one was just fun all around.
