Dodge the Bullet edition by Christy Hayes Literature Fiction eBooks

The book started out ok. It would have fared better without a weak female lead. Any woman who thinks it’s “fun to fight with a man,” is wanting to protect herfamily but too scared to use a gun (she had unsuccessfully attempted to use a baseball bat earlier). She was so weak she couldn’t even hold her desires for the sake of her children. Then, she acts like a child and yells at her children that it’s no concern of theirs with whom she is sleeping. Ummmm, hello, her children should have been her priority, not her selfish desires. And, how likely is it that she just “happens” to be friends with a senator and have another senator trying to strip her land away. The cliche situations are enough to cause the head of anyone over the age of 12 to explode,. I wouldn’t recommend this read to anyone that actually believes women are capable of going through life without having to physically give them self away to be happy and neglecting the needs of her family. Not much good ever comes from starting a relationship in the wrong order.

Dodge the Bullet edition by Christy Hayes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

A.J. Dodge is a man with a past. He recently returned home to Hailey, Colorado, to become a rancher like his dad. He has six sisters so "he knows women".

Sarah Woodward is trying to put her life back together. Her husband passed away over two years ago and she has decided to leave Atlanta and relocate to Hailey where she and her husband bought a ranch they hoped to move to someday. Her sons are not very happy about moving but she feels the small town is a better place to bring up her sons than the fast paced city of Atlanta.

What Sarah doesn't understand is why a U.S. Senator is trying so hard to buy her land in Colorado away from her. She doesn't understand that the Senator has made some promises he can't fulfill without her land.

Sarah really knows nothing about running a ranch and realizes the place needs a lot of work but she is not going to let anything deter her dream. She is very surprised when a handsome man shows up at her door offering help, telling her the Senator sent him through a local friend, Tommy Thorton, to help get her off to the right start. The handsome man is A.J. Dodge and when the Senator finds out that Tommy sent Dodge to help Sarah, he is livid.

The Senator wanted someone he can control, someone that would ensure that Sarah would see that there was no way she could run a ranch. Dodge was the exact opposite of what the Senator had in mind. Now he will have to take drastic measures to get that land and Dodge is the man standing in his way.

Plus Dodge may understand women, but Sarah is unlike any woman he has every known. He finds himself risking everything to keep her and the kids safe.

Dollycas's Thoughts

I love a story with a strong woman and Sarah has been through the wringer but she is still tough as nails. She is stubborn and opinionated and sparks fly immediately between her and Dodge as he tries to treat her as a helpless woman.

Dodge is a strong man that doesn't care what anyone think about him. He is in Hailey to put down roots no matter how many people are talking behind his back.

The mystery of Dodge's past and the suspense of the Senator trying to steal the land added nicely to make this a very enjoyable read. It is very well written and I can see why is was a finalist in the 2007 Virginia Romance Writers Fool for Love Contest. This is my first Christy Hayes novel but it definitely will not be my last.
This was an interesting story of one woman's need to survive a sudden tragedy - the death of her husband. Her need to move herself away from the things and places that reminded her of what could have been if her husband was still alive made her make a decision to move from familiar surroundings to the virtual unknown. This meant uprooting her children and hereself and literally going into unfamiliar territory and situations. Her belief and determination that no matter what the circumstances and obstacles things would and could turn around to her and her sons' benefit.

It did and not only were the obstacles that seem unsurmountable resolved but she was able to find a new love.
This is the first book I have read by this author. Actually, I enjoyed the story and was glad I had purchased the book. The reader can feel a kinship with Sarah Woodward and her young sons and also with A.J. Dodge. However, my ebook was filled with typos and missed words and words repeated out of order. It is a problem that I have encountered in several other books; usually, I ignore it, but sometimes it detracts from the story. I don't know if a person actually typed this story or if it is a machine production, but future books need to be scanned for errors before releasing to the public for sale. There were two really glaring problems that I wanted to bring to the attention of readers and possibly the author. One is the book cover--the picture of the woman with a suitcase walking down a road in what looks like California has no relation whatsoever to the story in the book. There is nothing at any time in the book to warrant this misleading picture on the cover. The other thing I wanted to bring out is this Near the end of the book there is probably the most ridiculous statement I have ever read. It is so foolish that I wonder if someone inserted it into the story to sabatoge the author's book. The statement reads 'Fear for his safety leaked out of every orifice in her body'. Really?! That can't be real.It is certainly not romantic. My conclusion, the book is worth the time it takes to read it, but be prepared to Dodge the bullet(s).
