A Callahan Wedding - Tina Leonard (HAR #1401 - May 2012)

Series: Callahan Cowboys (Book 6) 

"Holy Smokes. I'm A Father."

Sabrina McKinley broke Jonas's heart when she left him for another man. Then the eldest Callahan brother gets the surprise of his life when he sees her again…holding his son. Even at six months, his bouncing baby boy was wearing the legendary Callahan smile!

Which means Sabrina has got to marry him, even if Jonas has to drag her to the altar.

Sabrina's been head over heels for the hunky cowboy doctor since the day she first came to Rancho Diablo; it's always been Jonas keeping her at arm's length. She won't settle for anything less than the real deal—the love and happiness that Jonas's five brothers have found.

But when a revelation about a family secret comes out, Sabrina can see Jonas is ready to look toward the future. He won't be the last bachelor on the ranch. After all, he's a Callahan! 

Good book.  Jonas was the last holdout in the family.  When he found out that Sabrina's son was his also (contrary to what he had earlier thought) he wanted to make sure she married him.  The problem was, she kept saying no!  Sabrina loves Jonas, but she doesn't feel he is ready for marriage.  He has a habit of running when he doesn't like what is going on, and she has told him he has to come to terms with his past before she can be part of his future.  Jonas doesn't agree that he runs away - he just likes his time away from his family.  He does agree that he needs to find out the truth about their parents, and spends some time doing that.  Meanwhile, as much as Sabrina loves Jonas, she is afraid that he just wants to marry her because of the baby, that he doesn't actually love her.  I really liked the guidance that the brothers tried to give Jonas, even though he often seemed to oblivious to take it.

Cowboy Sam's Quadruplets - Tina Leonard (HAR #1393 - Mar 2012)

Series: Callahan Cowboys (Book 5) 

Defending his family's New Mexico ranch against a hostile takeover is the only reason Sam Callahan would even consider getting married. With four of his brothers already happily hitched, the youngest Callahan could end up being the last bachelor standing. Unless Seton McKinley says yes.…

Seton came home to Diablo to hang out her P.I. shingle. But the real reason is her unrequited crush on one hunky cowboy. The footloose charmer is proposing they make it legal—in name only! Of course she says no…until Sam flashes that infamous Callahan charm. Now the newlyweds are getting ready to become a family…of six!

Fatherhood can change a man's perspective, especially with quadruplets on the way. But nothing—not even the revelation of a shocker of a family secret—is going to change Sam's feelings for Seton…and their three baby girls and boy!

Very good book.  Sam was such a happy-go-lucky guy that he saw no harm in entering into a business marriage with Seton -- until the feelings turned real.  Then he wanted the marriage to be real, but couldn't figure out how to make it so. Seton had been in love with Sam for a long time, and saw the marriage as a way to get her foot in the door to Sam's heart. Then he and Seton found out they were going to be the parents of four babies and their lives turned upside down.   Added to that was Seton's inquiries into what happened to the Callahans' parents, and the secrets it was bringing out. I loved seeing Sam and his slow entry into the idea of becoming a father -- he was really sweet as he got into it all. I am really looking forward to the final book.
