Ranger's Baby

We are back in Eagle Rock, Montana with the McKinnon family still searching for the patriarch of the family while dealing with other family surprises. Army Ranger Duncan McKinnon hasn’t been back in town for 15 months , during which time he was injured in a mission. Fifteen months ago he slept with his best friend Fiona, who is now a deputy and a beautiful woman. Little did he know that a child was conceived. But when danger comes to Fiona’s door, Duncan comes to their rescue and face to face with his baby girl. Amidst the danger, feelings grow but will they survive to find their HEA . Another entertaining story in the series filled with suspense, family and romance. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Fiona has been in love with her best friend since grade school. Only, he doesn’t “see” her as anything more than “one of the boys”. Fiona was always more tomboy than she was girlie girl. After losing her parents, she was welcomed into the McKinnon family, but felt she was truly alone. Until... Duncan McKinnon, Army Ranger, has returned to Eagle Rock on medical leave after surviving a helicopter crash while deployed. Duncan’s father is missing and they suspect foul play. Duncan hasn’t seen or heard from his best friend, Fee, in over 13mths. Not since they crossed the line one fateful night. After receiving a frantic call from Fee about a break-in at her house, he races over to make sure she’s okay. Only to find out the secret Fee’s been hiding from him and his family the last 9mths. Duncan is a daddy! Duncan is your typical Alpha man hero. He’s protective, somewhat controlling, honorable, and loving. Duncan realizes Fee is a proud, independent woman who won’t marry him out of obligation. So he sets out to show her his love for her and Caity. While working together to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of his father, the murders of a couple of town’s people, and the break-in at Fee’s house, they realize their love for each other. But can they escape the Faulkner’s treacherous acts? While I truly enjoyed Duncan and Fee’s story, I was a little disappointed at the abrupt ending. I fully expected the McKinnon patriarch to be found. Otherwise, it was a very suspenseful, romantic novel. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Ranger's Baby by Elle James is the second book in the Iron Horse Legacy series and definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed this story! The only man Fiona has ever loved put her in the friend zone years ago and left her there until one night fifteen months ago. However, since then she hasn't seen or heard from him even though they are best friends. She is now busy raising their daughter by herself and working in Eagle Rock working as a deputy with the local Sheriff's Department. Duncan returned home to help his family and local law enforcement agencies find his missing father and so far hasn't seen Fiona, until she calls him needing his help keeping their daughter safe. A daughter he knew nothing about since he has been gone months on a mission with the Army Rangers. Working together to find out who is targeting Fiona and threatening their family puts them closer together and both of them are finding it difficult to hide their true feelings for one another. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this wonderful series! I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
