Since Gabby's father treats all those in his employee as though they're dirt beneath his boots, it's hard to accept this paring without the father's strong disapproval - which never happens!
Even as Gabby herself witnesses how strongly her father feels the staff are beneath them, she seems shocked by this. Has she not been living in the same house her entire life? Has her father's staff not waited on her hand and foot since birth? And how could a strong personality as Trevor is supposed to be tolerate being treated like this let alone fall for one of the daughters?
Jethro will need a radical change throughout the series to even begin to comprehend this. The rest of the series is written by various authors, so it will be interesting to see how Jethro is in their books. I also look forward to how the mastermind behind the kidnapping will be revealed slowly I'm sure throughout the series since he or she wasn't caught in the first installment.
I have enjoyed Marie Ferrarella's books in the past, but this pairing seems off and rushed to me. This was another great book that keeps you reading and on the edge of your seat. In this book you get trust and love and caring about each other. You get to smile and see the action that keeps you reading.
A baby kidnapped, a murder to be solved. Our hero and heroine deal with both problems and fall in love. This plot could use a little more umph and filling out.

The best part is the ending and how things played out Believe me it's an ending that will resolve a lot of things for both Levi and Kate. May 19, Rhonda rated it really liked it.
I was not ready for the story to end I wanted more. I like Levi, he is strong, caring and willing to forgive a lifetime of bad treatment. This book should have a warning, full of yummy deserts make you just gain weight by reading about Kate the pastry chef at the Dead river ranch. She puts up with a lot so she can pay her debts before she c 4 STARS The one thing about a series of books that I don't answer all the mystery in one books and you have to wait for the next book to give you more answers.
She puts up with a lot so she can pay her debts before she can move onto a better job. She works early in the morning till late. She has had a lot of trials in her life. Kate is also looking into the death of her friend who tried to stop a kidnapper. People find out she is looking for answers and warn her to stop, let the police look into it.
Levi Colton was asked by his half sisters to come to Dead River Ranch that their father was dying and refused any treatments. His father is rich and never acknowledged him but he did pay child support. Everyone else is scared of him. He refused them and then decided to just drive to Wyoming to the ranch to prove he is not like his father.
One love scene that I skimmed over. Also a wildfire is coming close to the ranch.

This is the second book of Melissa's that I have read and enjoyed. I look forward to reading more of her books. I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it by Netgalley. Rising romantic suspense star Melissa Cutler reveals more secrets from the Coltons of Wyoming Beneath her sweet smile are scars from her own tragedy-and a determination for justice. Jun 20, Christi Snow rated it really liked it. This is an interesting premise for a series. There are six authors writing six different books that follow the Colton family.
There is an over-arcing romantic suspense line and that won't ultimately be solved until the final book. The Colton family is an extremely wealthy family in Wyoming. There are three daughters, a missing son, and then Levi is an illegitimate son who's never ever been acknowledged by his father.

Kate is the pastry chef for the ranch.
Six years ago her world fell apart when her husband and unborn child died in a car accident. Subsequently, she lost her bakery to bankruptcy and is just now getting back on top of her life again, six years later. A month before the book began, Kate's one friend on the ranch was murdered. Kate is determined that she can find the murderer. I really liked Kate and Levi and the story with Levi's father.
All the back stories there created amazingly deep, emotional characters that I loved. I also really loved the cooking aspect of the story although it really made me crave desserts all the way through reading it What I didn't like was the one thing I'm sure Melissa Cutler had no control over, because I'm sure it was one of the things set by the overall creator of the series.

It was so overwhelming with maids and cooks and I don't even know what all they all did I hate reading historicals and that one little thing almost ruined this book for me. I just couldn't get past the feeling that this was a historical although everything else about it was very modern. I wish the household basics had been set up differently, but I'm sure that will go into play in the overall suspense line since all indicators point to someone from the staff being the bad guy don't worry, that wasn't a spoiler But regardless of that, the book read well and was pretty entertaining.
I'm dying to know what happened to Cole Jul 31, Kristen Johnson rated it really liked it. Kate is a hardworking pastry chef working for the rich Colton's of Dead River Ranch. Levi is the unclaimed illegitimate son of Jethro Colton, he's also a doctor. Both Kate and Levi are dealing with tragedies of the past and both have come to the Ranch to heal and move on in one way or another. I love Kate's silent tho resilient strength. I love how passionate she is about her baking. I can identify with her somewhat as I have used baking as a stress reliever myself, so I can see how it soothes her.
Kate truly has a heart of gold, even though she's suffered horribly, she wants happiness for others and justice for those who deserve it. Levi is one tough nut to crack, he's gone his entire life knowing who his family is, yet never being a part of said family. And since his mother's death, he's alone. But he still finds the nerve to come to his father's home to assist as he's dying. It takes a real will of steel to put up with Jethro Colton, but Levi doesn't let him steam roll over him from the get go.
As Levi helps his father, and his sisters in turn, he gets to know more about himself and his family. He also gets to know Kate and in doing so falls for her hard and fast. It takes a little convincing on Kate's part however, as she is determined to keep her job by not giving in at first.
The Colton Heir
It was fun to watch Levi break down Kate's walls while we got to see some of his crumble as well. Then we get a little shock as we find out just how closely intertwined Kate and Levi are and watch as love overcomes the surprising revelation. Colton by Blood is a first and foremost a love story. It is also, a continuation of a set of suspense stories.
While this is the second book of the series, it is the first I have read and I feel it can totally be read as a stand alone. This book builds more onto the mystery of the series while also focusing on the love story of Kate and Levi. So while Kate and Levi's story does end with this book, you do not solve the "mysteries" of the entire series.
Colton Blood is part two of a six book series by Harlequin called Coltons in Wyoming. I have to say that usually, I do not read out of order. Cutler wrote this installment, I just had to take the plunge. Colton Blood has a good murder mystery, plenty romantic and sexy with a dash of foodie. Levi is not Ms. He is kind, honorable and sweet but sti Colton Blood is part two of a six book series by Harlequin called Coltons in Wyoming. He is kind, honorable and sweet but still every bit a sexy hero.
After so many years of being away from his home town, Levi comes back to help with his estranged biological father with his illness. There, he meets Kate who is the pastry chef in the Colton house hold. She had lost loved ones recently , and she is trying to pay off some major debts.
I love that Kate paid attention to detail especially with her pastries. But what I love most about her character, and I guess this goes for Levi as well, is that they are survivors. Despite the difficulties life has given them, they had stayed strong. I love that they were hot for each other and just went with it. No angst or third party, just two consenting adults who wants to try things out. Cutler did a great job pairing them up The conflict of this story is the murder mystery and family drama.
There have been murders, threats and a kidnapped baby that was never found. It was fun trying to decipher the scenes and characters to guess whom the perpetrator is. This book is a stand alone, and you do get a happy ending for this couple however, there is an unsolved mystery. Aug 01, Melvina rated it it was amazing. Another fantastic book from Melissa Cutler!!!

Tx rated it it was amazing Shelves: A quick internet search told me that there have been many books written about the Colton family, none of which I have read except for the first book in this continuity. This lack of knowledge about the Colton family did not hinder, in any way, my enjoyment of Colton by Blood.

Levi Colton, who is the illegitimate son of clan patriarch Jethro Colton, has been asked by his ha Colton by Blood is the second book in The Coltons of Wyoming six book continuity in the Harlequin Romantic Suspense line. Levi Colton, who is the illegitimate son of clan patriarch Jethro Colton, has been asked by his half-sister to come to the Dead River Ranch to convince the very unlikable Jethro Colton to get treatment for his cancer.
Honestly, I never really thought about how large ranches in the western Unites States might be run. Cutler gives us a very good peek at the hierarchy at the ranch, which is surprisingly like the days of yore in England! Jethro Colton came off as a tyrant, and someone I immediately disliked, but as the book progressed, we see many facets of this man who is the way he is because of the life he has lead.
Levi Colton and Kate McCord were both likable characters whose attraction to each other seemed genuine. They both have lots of emotional baggage from their pasts that they must work through before they find their HEA, but those kinds of things make for the most engaging heroes and heroines. It can definitely be read as a stand alone. Romantic suspense fans will appreciate the pace of the book, with the suspense and romantic tension being just at the right levels.
In my opinion, this is another winner for Melissa Cutler!!! I am looking forward to many more books by this new and very talented romance writer. I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review, but I also bought a copy!! Aug 12, Yazmin rated it really liked it.
Levi Colton has lived with being branded a bastard and not being wanted or recognized by his own father. Now all she wants is to survive and not think about the past, and definitely not feel again. But the recent murder has her wanting to find the killer, the person responsible for taking another person she grew to care about away from her.
Levi want to arrive at Dead River Ranch and leave as fast as possible, but when he arrives things will give him another view into things than what he always thought. His sisters are not as he believed to be, and while his father is still a rude and annoying, he still needs help that as a doctor he vowed to give. But she will not make things easy for him, and if he wants even a friendship from her he will have to work hard to get it, and that he will by getting up early each morning when she is alone in the kitchen preparing to make fresh bread.
As the relationship between Levi and Kate develops, so will the intrigue and mysteries, for there is someone close that wants the truth of the murder and behind the kidnapping to be kept hidden. And the ambition and greed of others may put them in the path of the killer and put more people in danger, especially Kate who will not let the killer get away as easily.
Kate and Levi are very likable characters that will steal your heart with their stories. But they will make you fear for their lives as they try to find the truth behind the kidnapping, the murder and discover some deep dark secrets. Aug 01, Julz rated it it was amazing.

They share their deepest darkest secrets and they also share their love of dessert. The way Melissa Cutler describes desserts is luscious but also down right sinful with words like: Kate McCord has lost everything… family, home, and business. Melissa Cutler describes Kate in a way that is believable and touching. The book made me cry, want to give Kate a hug, and cheer her on all at the same time.

Levi Colton has come home to take care of his dying biological uncaring father Jethro. Levi Colton is driven to make a change in his life because of his low economical background. When asked to come home to take care of Jethro, it is hard emotionally for Levi to return. Levi Colton is the yummy and falls hard for Kate and her pastry. It is no wonder everyone is in love with the hansome Doctor. The annoying and rude at times Jethro is the head of the house and has everyone scared and running around doing his bidding. However, to be honest the cantankerous Jethro is my favorite character, he reminds me of my 95 year old Uncle.
