Booksellers Best Award finalist   "Smart, stubborn and irresistible" - 5-Star review "... powerful characters and their emotional intensity keep the pages turning." - Cindy Penn, Wordweaving   "A 'don't miss' treat." ~ Rendezvous "Sweep(s) you away." - 5-Star Review "... if you love to laugh; love to cry; or love to laugh and cry at the same time, then you'll definitely want to read Almost a Bride." - 5-Star review "Clever and humorous" - 5-Star review Dave Currick was everything Matty wanted for as along as she could remember. Right up until he broke her heart six years ago. Now that she’s returned to Wyoming for good, what she wants more than anything is to save her family’s ranch. Even if that means swallowing her pride and asking Dave to marry her. Matty’s up to something – Dave knows that for sure. Just as he knows that Matty needs help, so of course he’ll provide it, as he has all her life. Doing what’s best for Matty is second nature. Even when it comes to marrying her in name only. Although he can’t resist one kiss after the I-dos -- a kiss as fiery as the flame-red Indian Paintbrush that's always reminded him of Matty. Maybe – just maybe – his Matty will become more to him than Almost a Bride. ~ ~ ~ Originally published 2001, Silhouette Special Edition
	Book 2 (Fireweed) Match Made in Wyoming By Patricia McLinn Buy the e-book at AWritersWork.com Barnes and Noble (Nook) Amazon (Kindle) Apple (iPad, iPhone) ...or at Sony, Kobo, Diesel or Smashwords ebookstores! WisRW Write Touch Readers Award finalist OCRW Orange Rose Award finalist "A melt-your-heart romance." ~ Pamela James, Old Book Barn Gazette "...had me laughing one minute, teary-eyed the next and dreading the last page to arrive. She has a rare talent of whisking you into the lives of her characters with such clarity that you feel you are actually there...and you don't want it to end." - 5-Star Review "When it comes to sizzle, McLinn knows how to turn up the heat." ~ Lynne Perednia CompuServe Romance Reviews   When fire ravages Wyoming land, fireweed is among the first plants to return, brightening the blighted area with the joy of its blooms. Small-town lawyer Taylor Anne Larsen faces the challenge of doing the same for the pain-ravaged heart and disbelieving soul of ranch foreman Cal Ruskoff. Armed with the same grace and grit as the wildflower fireweed, Taylor also has allies – a matchmaking friend, the Wyoming winter, high-octane mutual attraction, and a rescued puppy who slips past Cal's defenses. Cal might give in to passion temporarily, but from behind the wall he's built around his past and his secrets, he's certain Taylor is all that he can't let himself have. ... And he'll use all his weapons to keep her out. "These characters -- their dialogue, their fears, their complex personalities -- are very real. As a reader, I couldn't help fall under Cal's spell -- a good, troubled, mixed-up man who forces Taylor to confront some of her own demons, even as he refuses to face his own . . . There's a lot of subtle -- and not so subtle -- humor here, the lovescenes are at once tender and sizzling, and the emotions and fears of both characters wrap themselves around the reader's heart and don't let go." – Karen Templeton, 5-Star review Patricia says: The collie puppy in Match Made in Wyoming is the alter ego of my much-loved rescue collie Riley ... right down to the penchant for opening doors at the wrong moment. Although for Taylor and Cal, it turns out to be the right moment. :-)   ~ ~ ~ Originally published 2001, Silhouette Special Edition

" ~ RomanceandFriends.com "Suspense, clever prose and heartwarming characters ...  no one will soon forget." --Old Book Barn Gazette "... a story of emotion and sensuality that also features strong family bonds. I read this in one sitting" - Carol Carter, Romance Reviews Today "... outstanding ... This is the first book of Patricia McLinn's that I've read but it certainly won't be my last!"- Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews Lisa Currick was once as bright and sunny as the Bur Marigold wildflower of her native Wyoming. That’s how New York City Detective Shane Garrison has remembered her since she figured in his first investigation eight years ago. But when he arrives in her hometown determined to resolve the final element of that case, he discovers the girl he's remembered has become a very different woman. Once open-hearted and artistic, Lisa has put all that aside for a life of order and discipline. And Shane wants to know why. He can't forget the girl, but he's fascinated by the woman who challenges him to find answers inside himself. He's vowing to solve all her mysteries ... and to get her to bloom once more. ~ ~ ~ Originally published 2001, Silhouette Special Edition
