Book Description
He’s a flirt who won’t commit. She’s a broken-down country singer. Caleb Black dances and flirts to his heart’s content—that’s all he’s capable of since his high-school sweetheart went off to chase her dreams. He’s made quite a name for himself and the horses at Black Rock Ranch, but watching his older brother fall in love shows him what a hole there is in his life. Singing and writing music was all Jo Manning ever wanted. But when she breaks down under the relentless schedule and the pressure to produce—and when her manager runs off with all her money—the only place to heal is her family’s small ranch in the Colorado Rockies. Her parents need help, her son needs a place to call home, and Jo? She does not need help from the man she left behind. Each Black Rock Ranch romance is a stand-alone story with its own HEA, but the family saga is best enjoyed in order: 1. Cherished by the Rancher (Adam & Maddy 2. Resisting the Rancher (Caleb & Jo) 2.5 Romancing the Rancher (Jesse & Sam) 3. Falling for the Rancher (Micah & Cassie) 4. Rescuing the Rancher (Seth & Riley)

Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Pages : 92
Book Description
Monkey is just a regular girl, with an over-active imagination, living in Cape Town, South Africa. She doesn't get a letter from a magical owl on her birthday. No ring was handed to her from a wizard smoking a pipe. She doesn't find out she's a princess, fairy or the 'chosen one.' There are no treasure, pirates or strange tribes in the jungle. She is just Monkey, her grandparents are coming and it's her birthday. That is not to say that the weekend is boring. Her robust Grandmother makes such sudden loud shrieks that airplanes get confused. Her Granddad apparently lost his finger by digging in his nose (that's just one of his explanations). Her older, maturer brother keeps trying to do magic tricks and her dad is a little forgetful. They eat ice-cream at Muizenberg beach, get lost and almost explode the world at Cecilia Forest and contemplate on camels that think they are flamingos in Noordhoek. All the while, the two bulldogs join in, splattering sticky drool everywhere and just causing a bit of chaos.

She rescues stray dogs, but can she find a forever home for herself? Robin Cooper’s favorite people are dogs. She’s learned the hard way that people can’t be trusted, and bullying has left its mark on her: her planned career is down the tubes and she’d much rather rescue strays and daydream happy endings than rely on people…until an unexpected encounter with a ranch hand makes her re-think her sheltered safety. Cliff Jackson’s world fell apart when his father died and the ranch went to auction. He’s trying to get his head straight while working as a hand on his uncle’s ranch near McCormick’s Creek, Oregon. Then Robin Cooper enters his life with her smile, her compassion, and her magic around dogs. Could there be room for her alongside his grief and uncertain future? Robin gathers her courage to start a local animal shelter. She’ll need funding, council approval and, most of all, Cliff’s support. But when the ranch has problems, Cliff is torn between helping his uncle and keeping his promises to Robin. Will Robin retreat to her four-legged friends or choose love with all its risks?
