Title: Honoring Freedom (Cowboys of Sagebrush Rose Book 3)
Author: Rhonda Lee Carver
Genre: Contemporary Western Romance
Book Blurb:
Freedom Rose sweeps back into his life wielding a pan...literally.
Bearded, silver-fox Dr. Keller Abbott is living his dream...but one thing is missing--a second chance with the one woman he loved and lost a long time ago. She might think he's still the passive "dude" who followed her around like a puppy, but she's in for a rude awakening. He's confident, self-assured, and has a smile that can knock a cowgirl right out of her boots...And he's all man.
After Sam Rose demanded that his daughters marry or lose everything, things at Sagebrush Rose Ranch have been a bit...well, boring. The hands walk a wide circle around Freedom like she has the cooties. They're all business and no bad-boy. Except, there's one cowboy who doesn't seem to scare easily. Problem is, she loved him once--maybe still does. He wouldn't be the ideal "fake" husband, but Freedom is running out of time.
Keller hates drama, and Freedom is trouble, but there's just something about her that he can't seem to get over. Is it the silver-blue eyes? Or the smile that makes a man sweat? Her spitfire attitude? Or simply that he never stopped loving her. When her life implodes, the least he can do is help her out of a jam. But marriage?! Whew! That's a little more than helping an old lover out.
There's enough trouble dealing with a Rose sister, but soon the trouble turns to real danger when Freedom's life could be in danger.
My Review:
Freedom is running short on time to find a husband, so she turns to an old flame. Flames turn to a raging blaze between Keller and Freedom, but can it set her heart on fire? Honoring Freedom is an all-encompassing western romance with smoldering heat, second chance lovers, a wacky will, and a bit of suspense thrown in for good measure. If you love western romance, Honoring Freedom is your next must-read.
Rhonda Lee Carver is a prolific romance author who writes books readers want to read. I’ve known her for years and each of her books is a feast for readers. The best part is each of her stories is high on romance and original.
The characters are what make Honoring Freedom impossible to put down. Freedom is a sassy woman who needs to get married to keep her inheritance. She’s part of the Rose family so trouble seems to follow her around. Drama, drama, drama. She needs a partner to keep her grounded and that can only mean one thing. Trouble with a capital T. I connected with Freedom right away. She’s a heroine unlike anything I’ve read before.
The rest of the characters are extremely well-written. They are reason enough to read this book.
If you’re looking for a romance to sink your teeth into, pick up Honoring Freedom. You’ll run the gamut of emotions and suffer a book hangover. It’s the emotions that make Honoring Freedom unputdownable.
My Rating: 5+ stars

Author Biography:
Rhonda Lee Carver is a bestselling author of contemporary western and romantic suspense, but she loves to write other genres too. She's known for writing stories that keep readers laughing, crying, gripping the edge of their seats, and screaming all in one book...like riding a virtual roller coaster. Whether she's creating sexy cowboys or tough guys, or sassy, independent heroines, readers are sure to find strong, powerful, memorable characters that are relatable.
By day, she taps into her creative, fictional world but at some point she transitions back into reality where she's a volleyball-stands cheerleader, homework virtuoso (at least she thinks so), amateur nurse to skinned knees, mediocre chef with some awesome microwave skills, pet-guru (all the strays show up at her house), and a Jackie of all trades for her kids who are the loves of her life. Yoga and chocolate keep her sane. Hallmark movies require cuddling up with tissues because she can be emotional. She adds a sprinkle of her own real-life adventures in each story she spins because a little truth never hurt anyone. She wouldn't give up one thing in her crazy, chaotic, ever-amusing life, except, she might do magic tricks for the bungalow on the beach she's had her eye on (GOALS).
Writing for Rhonda is like falling in love and finding a new best friend over and over again. Her characters will find a place inside your heart too.
