The Dixon Ranch #2
Cowboy Renegade
Katy Beaumont came back home to Bandera, Texas with a purpose. To prove she had what it takes to be a deputy sheriff in the male dominated field. Travis Dixon had broken her heart as a young girl of sixteen, but his love of law enforcement guided her hand in choosing his field. No longer that little girl, she's gotten over her crush and is ready to bring Bandera into the twenty-first century! Little did she know that the Dixon's were plagued with a mad man, determined to destroy the family she grew up around. Sheriff Travis Dixon doesn’t think she’s ready to be in the field, but he has no idea how determined she is to prove her worth and save the Dixon Ranch.With a murderer on the loose, Katy vows to put him behind bars before the Dixon’s go renegade and stick him in the ground. There might be no safer place than in the arms of a cowboy, unless it’s behind the badge of female deputy hell-bent on proving she’s got what it takes to protect them all. This is the second book in the series of The Dixon Ranch. The first was a Kindle Scout Winning book, Cowboy Sanctuary.

I absolutely loved Katy. Talk about a feisty, strong female. Katy returns to Bandera, Texas to prove she can handle being a deputy, in a male dominated profession. The current sheriff is Travis Dixon and Katy had a schoolgirl crush on him. Travis is even hotter now. Will Katy and Travis become more than friends or will she get with a different Dixon? I sure hope we get more books in this series, hint, hint Michelle Hughes. We need books for those sexy cousins too. If you enjoy steamy cowboy books, then you need to grab your copy of Cowboy Renegade.

A nice story but I felt like I came in a bit in the dark. There must have been a prior story about the Dixons that I have not read. However, I soon had the lay of the land and discovered the many problems facing Travis and Katy, the MCs. I still have no clue how the title relates to the story. Travis was a cowboy and part of a large, rich family owned ranch. He was also the sheriff and a good Christian man but I never saw behavior that led me to believe he was a renegade. Katy was a deputy and had crushed on Travis since childhood. They work together to try to save the ranch and their relationship heats up leading to a hea for them and a hfn for the family. There are obviously more stories to come.

A really good romance with heat and suspense.💞❤️️💞
I enjoyed reading about Katy and Travis. Katy is a strong woman, who has come back home to face a man who she's been in love with since she was a young girl. He might have broken her heart when he turned her feelings away before but now she's not going to let him treat her the same way again. As for Travis? Well, Travis had stronger feelings for Katy than he felt he should have since he's so much older than her and he was right about walking away from her then. But neither one of them counted on their feeling getting even stronger than before.💗🔥💕

*3.5 stars*
Sassy, mysterious romance…
I love a strong female lead and Katy was exactly that. There were nefarious games afoot at the ranch and that provided the mystery and foundation for the relationship between Travis and Kate to grow. The sparks between them were electric and, for me, were the highlight of the story. I’ve read a few books by this author – not the first in this series though which I wish I’d read first – and this is my favourite so far!
*I happily reviewed this story

If you are looking for a sexy cowboy, a feisty woman who will stand her ground, and lots of mysterious action happening on the ranch, then look no further than Cowboy Renegade. This was a fast-paced read that will keep you turning the pages to find out if Travis and Katy can both put their stubborn heads aside and move forward, and to find out who is creating all of the disturbance on the ranch. I can't wait to read more about the Dixons in possible future books.

AMAZING ADVENTURE AND INTENSE ROMANCE
This second book of the Dixon series is just as intense as the first one. The story is about another Dixon brother who also is the town Sheriff. Strange occurrences and full fledged attacks are taking place throughout the Dixon land. They are being attacked on all sides. A very suspenseful read, full of action.

Good story to follow the first book.
I felt cheated. This is supposedly a best-selling authoress, but I struggled to read it. The misspellings are atrocious, missing words and they are "simple" mistakes! This may be a "free" book on Kindle Unlimited, but I pay for this, every month, so in essence, I am still paying for it. Please employ an editor!

This is the second book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone. Who does not love a good cowboy romance? This is a really good well-written book with good likable characters and plenty of twists to keep you hooked. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this series
