Maddie Hiller lives on her father's ranch but has always daydreamed of becoming a famous singer, following her late mother's steps. All these years, her father's strong disagreement has left her feeling alone and hemmed in a miserable fate. However, everything will seem vain when her family is being threatened by dangerous criminals, and she will have to face the hardest dilemma. Luckily enough, she will quickly find an ally on Buck's face who will accompany her to an unbelievable adventure. Will she manage to put her life back on track and follow her lifelong dream? How will her feelings affect her decision?

Buck Grady is the new sheriff in town who is determined to pursue justice with an obsessive approach due to his dark past. Personal affairs have no significance to him until he meets Maddie and gets carried away with her spirit and inner fire. Under dangerous circumstances, they will have to come closer and work together. Will he stay focused on his target or will he get lost in unprecedented feelings? Will he realize that chasing the past will only keep hurting him, while true happiness is right in front of him?

Maddie and Buck are oriented towards completely different, if not opposite directions. Fate, though, has a way of changing how they feel even when they do not expect it. A crime bringing back hurtful memories and the concern for their families will bring them together. Are these enough to keep them on the same path? Will they choose love over their dreams?

"Spellbound by Her Loving Smile" is a historical western romance novel of approximately 80,000 words. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The book has resonated with readers! Here's some excerpts from their reviews:

"Lots of "wild west" action and multiple good guys to solve the problems. Of course, romance blooms along the way. Maddie has a bit of a temper and doesn't care for ranch life. Buck finds her quit fascinating. [...] Don't hesitate to get this one and enjoy the action and the romance. You'll thoroughly enjoy it." - B., Amazon review ★★★★★

"I always look forward to a Carol Colyer book and this one did not disappoint me. It has wonderful characters, great friendships, close family, lots of excitement, a few twists that I didn't see coming and of course, romance. Be sure and read the extended epilogue." - M.H., Amazon review ★★★★★

"I found it to be such an emotional journey of not just of self-discovery but of love. It was wonderful seeing them follow their dreams while overcoming past baggage then suddenly life decides to stir them another way, a better path. It was lovely!" - N.K.P., Amazon review ★★★★★

"Spellbound by Her Loving Smile is an amazingly terrific western historical from Carol Colyer. Her prose has captured the time beautifully and traversed the perils faced by Buck and Maggie with wit, humor, and love. Make this a must-read!" - M.O., Amazon review ★★★★★

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent clean Western Romance

Carol Colyer has written another hit!!! This story offers so much to the reader. It has twists and turns, action, adventure, drama, intrigue, mystery, murder, outlaws, a sweet romance, and a fantastic story line! The characters are wonderful! They are like people some of us know or would like to know! They are very well developed throughout the story and it was great to read how they matured and changed. It is a clean read and set during the Old West days with life was much harder for folks and Carol has written true to the times with what people had to use during that time. She has done her homework on the times and that is always so obvious when a person reads a story on whether or not the writer did their research! I love the way she painted a picture of the land and other scenes with her words, what a great job!! Thank you Carol for such a wonderful spellbinding story!!! I didn't want to put this book down until I finished it!!!

He doesn’t give her any attention or encouragement. Buck is the sheriff and after a hard upbringing is determined to be a hardened sheriff. But as these two have to work together will he soften up as he wants to see her happy. Will they find a way to be together? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can two determined people switch goals midstream?

Maddie Hiller wants nothing more than to go to the big city and sing. Living on a ranch is not how she wants to spend the rest of her life. Her dad, stepmom, sister, and little brother are happy on the spread. Maddie's discontent is not silent; the family breaths a sigh of relief when she takes a job sewing in town.

Buck Gray came to Prospect Heights to be the new sheriff in town. He has moved all over the country and spent years trying to find the gang who shot and murdered his twin sister, brother, mom, and dad, then set the ranch house on fire to hide evidence. His sister did not die immediately and she told him enough to hunt for the murdering robbers.

An outbreak of robberies, shootings, and farmhouse fires occurs not long after Buck becomes sheriff. Most of the victims survive. The entire town and surrounding ranches' inhabitants are concerned and with good reason.

Maddie and Buck clash from the beginning. Her dad volunteers her services in the sheriff's office doing paperwork. Can these two combatants learn to work together? Will Buck catch the gang responsible for the local robberies and attempted murders?

There are a lot of young people the right age to marry in this small town. How many will wed before this tale is complete? There is a wonderful realistic supporting cast of characters with complex interactions. Will Maddie give up her dreams of becoming a big-time singer? Will Buck get the gang who killed his sister, or will he move on, still chasing the killers?

I received a free ARC and am giving my honest evaluation.

I received an ARC of this book from the author, Carol Colyer, and this is my voluntary and honest review. I loved this book. It was nonstop adventure with romance added in. There were a lot of characters but Maddie and Buck were the stars. Buck was the new sheriff in town and Maddie was the daughter of James, who owned a large ranch. When Buck and Maddie met, there was instant attraction that grew as they worked together to find out who the mystery men were who were stealing, killing ranchers and their families, and burning their homes. This book is exciting and hard to put down when you start reading it. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Interesting Book

So much happening. She does not like living on a ranch - she keeps saying she wants to go to New York and be a singer. He is the new sheriff but what a welcoming - things keep happening. There is a mystery - who is trying to steal the horses, who killed his family, who tied up a married couple and set the house on fire, what did they find in the former mine & how did it get there.
*** Really keeps you reading. ***

An interesting historical western story. Has a plethora of characters to keep up with, which are well developed. I found it to have a predictable story line, but pretty well developed. Some editing issue cause you to reread some paragraphs to determine who is really talking and straighten out the names yourself. Not so many issues as to become a real problem, slightly frustrating. If you are looking for a good light read I recommend this book.
