The Right Ranger is the third book in the Men of At Ease Ranch series by Donna Michaels. I have not read either of the first two books, but we did get to see glimpses of the two couples from those books, and I really liked them, so I might eventually go back and read their stories. As for Haley and Cord's story. I liked it. It was a super quick read for me. Easy to digest in one short sitting, but I didn't love it if I am honest with myself. It was a good read, but not much more than that.

Cord is Haley's deceased husband's best friend. But the whole book Haley is carrying this burden of her husband's secrets. Honestly, it was really intriguing for me. I knew some of what he did, but the way Haley spoke about it, I felt like there was way more than we were being kept in the dark about. I was super interested to find out what all of the secrets were. But Haley was very noble about the whole thing and she didn't want to taint his friend's view of their friend. I respected that. But I ended up being disappointed by the way the secrets all played out.

Cord knew! after all that he knew what was going on with her husband, which bugged me.

The part of the story that was my favorite, was obviously the romance between Cord and Haley. It was so clear to see that these two had chemistry. I enjoyed watching their romance unfold. It was excellent actually. They sizzled off the page. The rest of the story is what let me down. I'm not really sure what I wanted, but I just wanted more. Overall, this was a quick and fun read. It just didn't blow me away. But the characters and the writing were solid and the romance was well done.
