Once Enchanted A love story (Rockland Ranch Series) by Jaclyn M. Hawkes

What happened to her fairytale life? She's young, she's sharp, she's the hardest working attorney in the whole LA office. Still, when Alexis O'Brien finally gets brutally honest with herself, she has to admit she's nothing more than a glorified workhorse for her boss and his slippery partners. Her dissatisfaction only deepens when she gets sent on a wild goose chase to rural Wyoming to find some elusive gifted architect for a project she thinks is corrupt. Then she meets Sean Rockland. The antithesis of the effeminate manicured types she's used to at work, with his muscles fairly rippling under his button down, Sean ticks her off from the very first moment she lays eyes on him as he's recuing her from car trouble-which only makes him laugh. Of course that doesn't help. Sean has this way of calmly logically encouraging her to face her issues that makes her even madder. Why does he always have to be right? Why is she drawn to him anyway? What's up with all these crazy fairies appearing? And why can't she find the darned missing architect? When her spitfire meets his steel sparks begin to fly! Watch for more of the Rockland Ranch series! You really can't go wrong with any Jaclyn M. Hawkes' book you pick up!" Cathy G.

My Review: Once Enchanted A Love Story

4 STARS

I really like this series. I love the characters, the settings, the humor, clean reads.

Once Enchanted A Love Story is the third book in the Rockland Ranch. In this book we get to know more about Sean Rockland. He is a talented Architect. He is only willing to work with certain people. If he does not like their ethics he won't work with them. He is single.

Alexis O'Brien is a attorney who works in LA. One of her bosses sends her to Wyoming to find Sean Rockland but she does not know his name just the company name. Alexis is out of place in Wyoming. Her cell phone does not work in most spots. She can't find the mystery Architect. She is the third person her boss has sent out to find him.

One of the first person she meets is Sean and they get off to a bad start. She thinks he works for a towing service. Because their is no hotel around Sean's mother offers her a place to stay while her car is being fixed. Even lends her a car.

Alexis is going everywhere she can think of to find him. Everyone promises they will pass on her card and tell Sean about her. They also chuckle when they find out she is staying at Rockland Ranch.

This does have LDS beliefs and talks about prayer.

I have read a few of her books and have enjoyed them. You can find my other reviews below.

Author Jaclyn M. Hawkes

Jaclyn M. Hawkes grew up in Utah with 6 sisters, 4 brothers and any number of pets. (It was never boring!) She got a bachelor’s degree, had a career and traveled extensively before settling down to her life’s work of being the mother of four magnificent and sometimes challenging children. She loves shellfish, the out of doors, the youth and hearing her children laugh. She and her fine husband, their family, and their sometimes very large pets, now live in a mountain valley in northern Utah, where it smells like heaven and kids still move sprinkler pipe.
