Colorado Takedown: A Romantic Western Adventure (The McAllister Brothers Book 1) Kindle Edition

A vegetarian from the city and a cattle-raising rancher sounds like a match made in hell. But what if they need each other more than they realize?

When Hannah Hudson finds herself abandoned on a Rocky Mountain ranch, even a lottery win doesn’t change her bad-luck life. Not when it lands her stuck with a cowboy who seems bent on “helping” her.

Trace McAllister needs only his horse and wide-open spaces, but it’s clear his new neighbor needs much more. If only she wasn’t so stubborn, he could help her. Unfortunately, it seems to take an accident – or is it a murder? –before she lets him into her life. They have one thing in common: zero talent for handling their feelings. Trace’s amazing cattle dog, Oatie, plays a part in bringing this unlikely couple together.

From day one, Hannah’s unique relationship with her new horse keeps her grounded despite mysterious conflicts, secrets, and a relentless, unidentified villain. Now her life hangs in the balance, and it’s up to Trace to face his greatest fear to rescue her.

Fans of Jessie Gussman and Carolyn Brown will adore the suspense-spiced romance of Cricket Rohman’s McAllister Brothers series! Start reading Colorado Takedown, where every day is a new adventure.

Hannah and her friend Rick finally arrive at their newly purchased ranch. He heads to town for food and other supplies, and is killed in a fiery crash. It turns out that they didn't purchase the ranch; Rick leased it from Trace. But strange things begin to happen - a nearby ranch has one of the cows poisoned, someone who looks like Rick empties Hannah's bank account, her house phone line is cut, and more... Is Rick really the one who was killed in the crash? If so, then who took Hannah's money? Last year, I read the third book in this series, and it was just fine as a standalone. But I've wanted to read the first two, and grabbed this opportunity for Colorado Takedown. There is mystery and suspense, action, kidnapping, murder, and of course, a wonderful romance. The book is well written, and the story line flows well. The more time that Hannah and Trace spend together, the cuter they become, with truly funny banter between them. It's hilarious that Oatie, his dog, likes her better, and so does Lewissa, the horse. On to the next book...

I am hesitant to only give 3 stars, but I feel that there are many discrepancies and I think they should be considered. The premise of the story was good and needed to be explored more. The timeline did not make sense. I felt it needed a thorough rewrite of several chapters . Honestly, the writing was sophomoric at best. It read like a high school paper, not a published book. It has the potential for an enjoyable read if it had been edited properly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have found my new series writer
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2020

To be quite honest, I was quite the fan of another series writer of some fame but in my mind, she had become a little predictable. I was searching for another theme or series writer when I discovered Cricket Rohman's Colorado Takedown, the first installment of the McAllister Brother's series. At fist I though it might be more of a romance novel than anything else but I was willing to take a chance on it. Oh wow, I am I glad I did. Romance? Yes! But so much more...mystery, intrigue, murder, and more, sewn together perfectly to keep me turning the pages late into the night. I am now waiting impatiently for the second installment. I have found a new and talented author to follow. You should too.

Although entertaining the everyday science and erratic lack of attention to details of realism were really stretched. Nevertheless, the goal of the novel, an easy entertaining read is attained.

A city girl heroine, a sexy cowboy, a perilous situation in the Colorado mountains .... can't get better than that! This suspenseful novel has elements of humor and romance combined with intrigue and a "who dunnit?" This easy, quick read captured my attention from the first page. The characters are believable and there are wonderful character descriptions. You will not be able to put this fabulous book down! Great weave of romance and suspense. The heroine is completely relatable as she interacts with cowboys, cops, and killers. And always a faithful dog and horse. Great read!!! Can't wait to delve into the next McAllister Brothers sequel!

What a wonderful romantic, suspense story. I liked that it took awhile to put all the pieces of the puzzle together in this romantic story about a sexy cowboy named Trace and his new neighbor, Hannah.
There were a lot of interesting twists and turns and several surprises too. Parts of it had my heart pounding as I quickly read to solve the mystery.
I liked Hannah's quiet ways with her animals and I liked how Trace treated Hannah. Their relationship was so special. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully twisty tale
Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2020

A handsome cowboy, a distressed heroine, and a mystery with lots of twists and turns. What more could we ask for in a good romantic suspense? Poor Hannah thought life was finally bringing her good luck and prosperity when she won the lottery. Instead her good luck turned rotten in a hurry. Her friend/partner meets with an untimely accident, her bank account is emptied, delightfully twshe is left without transportation on the ranch she believes she owns and now is in possession of animals she doesn’t know anything about. When Trace shows up with the animals, she mistakes him for a ranch hand, not the ranch owner. He sees she is in distress and does his best to help. When he learns her partner, the person who arranged to get the animals, is dead, he offers his assistance to the beautiful but overwhelmed Hannah. It doesn’t take long to discover the missing money, or for strange incidents to keep happening around Hannah. An over sexed, spiteful and rather spoiled teenager determined to get her hands on Trace, adds to Hannah’s troubles. As the incidents take a dangerous turn, Trace becomes determined to protect Hannah even if she isn’t sure she should trust him. A mutual attraction soon turns into something more, and the two lovers must find some way to stop the unseen enemy before things turn deadly.

I loved the intrigue and danger featured in this book along with the two fascinating, strong-willed main characters. I was hooked right from the first page to the last, anticipating a happy ending, but intrigued and captivated by their journey along the way.
