Crystal Creek Series

The ladies that thought up this series are ingenious. To write books, from several different authers that have some of the same charactors in them and blend them so well. Tyler finds his match in Ruth when it comes to vineyards. But his attraction for her won't let him stay away either. Then there is the adventure of the woman stalking him and her lies about her supposed baby. it takes alot for Ruth to trust him after the other woman tries to take him away.

Cowboys and Cabernet

I like this series. Tyler and Ruth were an interesting couple as he is trying to start a winery in cattle country. Ending was a little abrupt.

:)

Tyler McKinney is the oldest son of J.T. McKinney from the previous book in the series (Deep in the Heart). Tyler is determined to have a vineyard on the ranch. His father is skeptical, but with the help of Tyler's stepmother they convince his father to try it. J.T.'s old buddy Don Holden has a very successful vineyard in California. Don is happy to send his daughter Ruth to the McKinney ranch to give her expert advice to Tyler. Tyler expects some dowdy looking woman to show up. He has all these stereotypical notions of what an expert wine chemist should look like. Tyler is shocked when he sees just how beautiful Ruth is. Tyler listens to what Ruth has to say, but he is stubborn and impatient and has no intention of taking all of the advice that she gives him about the vineyard. Ruth and J.T. build not only a business relationship but a personal one as well. Things go along smoothly until a lie almost rips them apart.I thought that this book was more focused than the previous one. There were still plenty of secondary characters, but the main focus was on Tyler and Ruth. I have to admit that I was a bit aggravated with Ruth and her decision to believe the worst about Tyler. I thought Tyler had every right to expect Ruth to come crawling back on her knees and apologize, but instead the author has Tyler taking most of the blame-Ugh. Like I said this book was better than the previous one so hopefully the next one will be even better (Cal's story).
