Cole Jasper is back as the foreman at the Lucky Star ranch with Abbie Ferrel. The herd was sold and things are slowly starting to get back to normal. Abbie is uncertain of her feelings toward Cole. She isn't mad at him anymore, but she doesn't know what she wants either.

Cole has settled back in and trying to adjust to some of the changes around the ranch in his 4 year absence. One thing hasn't changed in the years is his feelings toward Abbie. He is giving her space to think and see where she wants to go with things, until then, he will keep the cowboys in order and help make the Lucky Star a profitable ranch again. Normalcy doesn't last long, however, when a stranger rides into the ranch calls Cole out. Cole faces the stranger without showing signs of defending himself Abbie breaks up the fight and the stranger rides off. The stranger is Cole's older brother. Before Abbie can find out more, two bounty hunters come searching for Cole and haul him off to El Paso, Texas where he is wanted for murder. Abbie, in her typical independent nature, sets out to help Cole, she is indebted to him for all the help he has provided to her over the years.

This book made me happy. This is Cole's story. We finally find out about this tough, honest to a fault, cowboy. We find out who he is and his back story. We finally have the whole picture of this man who has been in this series and only seeing brief glances. I've been team Cole you can say from the beginning and it's nice to see this character expanded. Too read!

The time has come to wrap up Armchair BEA (and Book Expo America in NYC as well). I didn't know what to expect when I started Armchair Bea, but I got out of it so much more then I ever could have dreamed. The book blogging world is a wonderful place. I have met so many wonderful book lovers who have kindly and graciously shared their advice and wisdom and I am grateful for it. I have also found so many wonderful blogs out there to follow. It is wonderful so see so many different kinds of taste in books out there.

Armchair BEA provided many good topics to discuss. Here is a summery of the last several day.

Day 1: Introduction & Classics
Day 2: Better Blogging & Fiction
Day 3: Literary Fiction
Day 4: Non Fiction & Ethics in Blogging
Day 5: Keeping it Real & Children's and YA

It has been wonderful to see what books other bloggers have listed as their favorites, it's the best way to find new reads! :-) I can't wait for the next literary meet up (in person or in the blogosphere). Many thanks to the Armchair BEA team! They did a wonderful job of hosting this event, and they can count me in as a regular from here on out.

Throughout this past week, we have featured discussions on a multitude of book genres and audiences.  However, we as a team knew that we would never be able to connect bloggers with ALL the different genres and audiences that exist.  This is your chance to chat about all those genres that we didn't cover.

I know that it was covered in a boarder spectrum with the fiction genre, but I would have loved to see a section on Historical Fiction. I know not everyone reads it, but I would love to see what everyone else has read and liked...also I'm looking for new ideas. :-) So, call it a two for one on the genre.

In all honesty,  it would be neat to see the broad genre topics broken down a little more, but I know with such a huge even, that is hard to do. I enjoyed reading what everyone has posted and with the blogs that I have started to follow this past week, I can have things broken down that way. The way that ABEA handled everything, it worked out great. They were able to touch on so many topics in a short amount of time which would be hard to do otherwise.

For fun, I'll post my favorite Historical Fictions...just in case anyone would like to know.
