"Light-hearted and fun stories!"

I've never read anything by Molly O'Keefe before and boy have I been missing a great author. My sides were aching from laughter with both of these wonderful stories.

Cooking Up Trouble is Mark Cook's story. He's really irritated that a Hollywood hunk is coming to his family's ranch to learn how to become a cowboy for his up-coming movie. What really gets to him is that when this hunk arrives he suddenly starts hitting on Mark's very best friend in the whole world, Alyssa Halloway. What Mark can't understand is why he's so angry at the fact. Surely he isn't feeling something for Alyssa after all these years! Alyssa has loved Mark all her life and will do just about anything to finally get him to realize it. Having movie star Dirk Mason come on to her may just work to her advantage. Only time will tell.

Kiss the Cook is the youngest Cook, Billy's story. He's loved his sister Samantha's college roommate Kate Jenkins since he was seventeen and she was nineteen. That summer was the best summer of his life when they had a wild affair but she left him after the summer was over. Now Kate's back and about to give birth in their line cabin. Billy stumbles in on Kate just in time to deliver her beautiful little girl but what's she doing back and can Billy guard his heart a little more closely this time? Billy is about to turn 30 years old and really needs to get on with his life but can he do that without Kate? What if she doesn't want to stay this time?

I thoroughly enjoyed both of these light-hearted and happily ever after stories. Those Cook men didn't know what hit them once their women decided to go after them. They each met their match and after all was said and done, realized it was just fine with them. Molly O'Keefe has just gained herself a new fan!

Summary

Cooking Up Trouble by Molly O'Keefe
Mark Cook shouldn't mind that a Hollywood heartthrob is intruding on his family's ranch to learn how to be a cowboy. Or that Mr. Moviestar is getting a bit too close to his best friend, Alyssa Halloway. But, damn it all, he's jealous to the point of distraction whenever he sees them together! And to compete with a gorgeous actor for Alyssa's heart, things are gonna get dirty down on the farm....

Kiss the Cook by Molly O'Keefe
No one has ever been able to hook heartbreaker Billy Cook like wild Kate Jenkins. Her passionate kisses made him fall in love thirteen years ago, only for her to turn around and break his teenage heart by leaving town. In fact, she's the reason he vowed to be a confirmed bachelor! Now pregnant, Kate is back in Montana to deliver her baby, claiming her wanderlust days are over. And Billy can't help wonder if his vow was a bit too hasty....
