About this ebook


When she moved to her family's ancestral ranch, single mom Sierra McKettrick was disconcerted by the Triple M's handsome caretaker, Travis Reid.

But when her son claimed to see a mysterious boy in the house, and an heirloom teapot started popping up in unexpected places, Sierra wondered if the attraction between herself and Travis might be the least of her worries.

In 1919, widowed Hannah McKettrick lived at the ranch with her son and her brother-in-law, Doss. Her confused feelings for Doss and her son's health problems occupied all her thoughts...until the family teapot started disappearing.

Could Sierra and her ancestor, Hannah, be living parallel lives?

    This author was suggested to me and it was a quick read. Interesting viewpoints...the author bounced back and forth between 1919 and 2007 (something I don't normally like). I hung in there and enjoyed it but this way of writing is not my favorite. Love historicals but this twist made me have to concentrate to know what era I was in.

    Sierra McKettrick has come to live on the Triple M after her mother, Eve McKettrick, ends their long estrangement by offering medical insurance for Sierra's sickly son, Liam, with the requirement the two spend a year on the ranch. Sierra meets Travis Reid, who looks after the horses on the ranch, and is quite taken by him, particularly because of how well he gets along with Liam. Soon after Sierra moves in, she notices an antique teapot seems to move around of its own accord, she hears piano music playing late at night when no one else is around, and Liam claims to see another boy in his room. Meanwhile, in 1919, Hannah McKettrick is dealing with grief after losing her husband, Gabe, to the war, tending her sickly son, Tobias, and trying to deny her attraction to her brother-in-law, Doss. She also notices the teapot moving around, and Tobias is claiming to see another boy as well. This sweet little tale connects the first part of the McKettrick series, which takes place in the late 1800's to the more contemporary second part. The two women are connected by their similar stories as well as ancestry. Both are fun to read about, but both stories could use more fleshing out. This is a pretty slim novel, and the action seems rather rushed.

    It was about 1am when I finished book 4, I was sleepy but nothing could stop me from continuing on to book 5 (Sierra's Homecoming).
    After reading the first sentence which reads... "Present Day
    “Stay in the car,” Sierra McKettrick told her seven-year-old son, Liam" I felt like I was robbed! The next few paragraphs talked about all of the gravestones Sierra read and the names engraved were like the names of my own family members. HOW could an author, after 4 incredible historical romance stories kill off all of the people she made us fall in love with and move the series to present day? I kept reading, I was introduced to relatives of each of the original children (5 all together as a daughter was born while the sons were looking for brides)
    The author tried to incorporate some kind of paranormal activity with another mother and child living in the house at the same time but in a different time period. It was odd, confusing (I can't keep my own family members families together in my head now I have to figure out how all these people are related to people I read about from like 100 years ago!)
    I stopped reading about chapter 3... Depressed and let down. I then continued to read on in the series...what a mistake! The current day cowboys were all billionaires, single or divorced and each book contains the same recipe of cousins trying to find a woman who just happen to come to town and be the most beautiful gal they ever saw. And they sure had a LOT of sex. Maybe the incredible characters of the first few books brought money in for the remaining cookie cutter books in the series. Such a shame to spoil what started out as one of the BEST 4 series books I ever read.

    5/5
    This was an entertaining contemporary romance combined with a historical romance about two women ninety years apart living in the same home, dealing with losses, and having fragile sons of similar ages. Sierra McKettrick is newly a McKettrick. Her father kidnapped her when her parents divorced when she was two and took her to Mexico to raise. After her father's death, Sierra got involved with a man she didn't know was married and had his son just a few days after he died. She been raising her gifted and asthmatic son Liam alone and traveling from place to place. Her mother - the woman she thought had abandoned her - found her and made her a deal: live on the McKettrick land in Arizona for a year and she'd take care that Liam had the best health care possible. That was a deal no loving mother could pass up, even if she wasn't sure she wanted anything to do with McKettricks.Sierra moves into her mother's family home and finds that Travis Reid is taking care of the place. Travis is a lawyer who quit his job with the McKettricks when his younger brother blew himself up in an attempt to make meth. He is guilt-ridden and sure he could have saved his brother.Travis and Sierra are immediately attracted to one another but his grief and her feeling that her current life is only temporary make it hard to build a relationship. It doesn't help her peace of mind that the house seems to be haunted. In 1919, Hannah McKettrick is a recent widow and a mother of an 8-year-old son who almost died from pneumonia. She's living in the family home with her brother-in-law Doss who has secretly loved her since he met her after she married his brother Gabe. Doss wants a relationship with Hannah, but Hannah is convinced, for a while, that Gabe would be her only love.A teapot that keeps moving around, a photo album that also moves around, and a journal that is written in by both women, show that their lives have very many parallels. They both find their loves and build their lives in this wonderful romance.
