REVIEW: What a Rancher Wants by Sarah M. Anderson

In What a Rancher Wants (Texas Cattleman’s Club: A Missing Mogul #9) by Sarah M. Anderson, Alex Santiago has been found, but his old friend Chance McDaniel is still living under a cloud of suspicion that he had something to do with Alex’s disappearance. The only one who can clear Chance’s name is Alex himself but he is still recovering from the after effects of his kidnapping and apparently does not remember anything.

When Chance shows up at Alex’s door, he meets his best friend’s sister Gabriella del Toro, who along with her father and personal bodyguard has come all the way to Mexico to take care of Alex and later take him back home to Mexico. The first meeting with Gabriella leads to many more romance filled moments and soon they both are falling for each other but will their relationship survive the web of deceptions and lies surrounding them..??

What a Rancher Wants by Sarah M. Anderson was a cute western romance based in Texas. It continues the tale of the missing mogul–Alex Santiago or Alejandro del Toro who has been finally found. It could be read as a standalone because the back story is explained right at the start.

I really liked how the romance between Gabriella and Chance progressed because even though everything happened pretty fast, it felt so natural to see them fall in love. I especially liked how the story ended and I was pretty much hooked during the last pages.

Chance was my kind of hero because he was tough but yet vulnerable at times. He was not the typical alpha kind of hero with a I-am-always-right-attitude. Gabriella was the perfect girl for Chance because she matched him pretty well. She longed for freedom which her sheltered upbringing had made her miss out on. The addition of Joaquin–Gabriella’s personal bodyguard just made me enjoy the story even more. The suspense regarding Alex’s disappearance deepens. This story did not provide me any answers and left me even more confused about what really happened with Alex.

Overall, What a Rancher Wants by Sarah M. Anderson is a well written and enjoyable romance for everyone who loves Texas, cowboys and Texas Cattleman Club..!!
