Fall in love with seven sexy and irresistible soldiers who find their courage and heart tested like never before in the battle for love! This multi-author collaborative series of contemporary romance novels is brought to you by bestselling authors Barbara Freethy, Roxanne St. Claire, Christie Ridgway, Lynn Raye Harris, Julia London, Cristin Harber and Samantha Chase. You won't want to miss a single one!

ZANE

Ex-soldier Zane Tucker is perfectly happy with his single life and his adventure watersports business. A gambler by nature, he figures the odds of finding a woman for forever are a lot longer than finding a woman for right now. And as a man of action and not emotion, he believes a woman with lasting romance on the mind would want someone with less hard muscle and more soft sentiment. But then his dog hurtles toward the new county librarian, yanking Zane into her delicate, pretty presence. Will they both scare her away? And why does that worry him so?

Harper Grace has a bucket list of goals to tick off and is determined to live every moment to the fullest by overcoming her usual shyness. No one will call her too timid and too boring ever again. But then a giant of a man and his equally large dog charge into her life and she can’t decide if she wants to take a step back…or step fully into Zane’s strong arms. She's been brave enough to change her life, but does she have enough courage to risk her heart?

Don't miss any of the sexy soldiers!

4.0 out of 5 stars Handsome Hunk falls for the shy Librarian
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2017

This is the first time I have read a book by Christi Ridgeway but it probably won't be the last. In this third entry into the Seven Brides for Seven Soldiers we learn the story of Zane Tucker. Zane had been a sickly kid - growing up with asthma. He finally outgrew it in High School and began to bulk up.
The story is a delightful tale of the big clumsy hunk, Mr One Night Stand falling for the town librarian - a quiet, shy newcomer to town.
The dialogue is great fun - esp between the 7 high school friends who all joined the military and are now coming home to settle down. The woman are all strong enough to stand up to big alpha males. If Eagle Ridge was a real place, I'd want to move there - all the men are handsome hunks looking for love and they each find their own Happily Ever Afters.

"I don't think now's the time to talk about that last kiss. I think we have to go directly to talking about the next one."

I am so hooked on this series!! The men of Eagle's Ridge are truly amazing!! Strong, heroes, alpha, and tender all at the same time.

Zane Tucker is the last Tucker sibling not all wrapped up in a relationship. He's fine with that. He's a perpetual bachelor, only looking for a temporary fun time. He's happy just hanging out with his dog, Gambler, and making juvenile bets with his friends. Until she comes to town to run the library. She's the complete opposite of every other woman he's ever been with, and the complete opposite of him. So, why can't he stay away? Can he make a bet with his heart that he can win and keep her at arms length? Or, will his emotions win out over his stubbornness? What Zane fails to realize, is that either way, he wins.

Harper Grace has moved her jilted heart from San Francisco to Eagle's Ridge for a do-over. She needs to break out of the stuffy socialite persona everyone made her out to be, and one to which she willingly conformed, and become her own woman. She never expected Zane Tucker. He makes her want to break out of her shell, try new things, become everything everyone said she wasn't. But, he's a puzzle to her. Sweet and tender one moment and stand-offish the next. A pure gentleman at dinner, and throwing punches in the parking lot an hour later. An amazing lover one night, and then scarce for days. He screams heartbreak but she can't help but want to risk it. Can she convince him they're worth the chance? Can she make him want to take the gamble?

I absolutely love this town. I wish it were real, because it sure feels real in this series!! There are 7 books total in this series and I can't wait to finish them all!!

A shy librarian & a bumbling outdoor adventurer? Not a good combination, right? Wrong! Zane is a clumsy man of action with a pennant for short affairs & out of control dogs. Harper is a librarian determined to check off her bucket list & step out of her comfort zone. When Zane's dog Gambler barrels into her, Harper thinks she's made a huge mistake. The chemistry is strong but they are determining Ned to ignore it.

Another really enjoyable book in the 7 brides for 7 soldiers series. Each book can be read as a stand alone but reading them in order gives you a better understanding of the friends, the town & the families.
Christie Ridgeway gives her readers a sweet love story with some heat. The book really takes a light touch to the opposites attract genre. There's heat but there is also several hilarious incidents, usually involving Gambler, that really make the story. I really enjoyed the first 3 books in this series & cant wait for Book 4!

This is a new author to me. This was a delightful story involving Zane, a no commitment type of guy who can’t resist making bets with family and friends. Harper is new in town and hoping to break out of her shell and have a more interesting and fun life after being dumped by her former fiancé, who claimed she was boring, among other things. The story has romance, humor and a HEA.

I absolutely LOVE this book! THIS is romance! Zane and Harper were purely delightful and I rooted for them the whole way! Zane, who's a big man, doesn't see himself as "marriage" material or as someone that a woman would see as anything but "a bull in a china closet" because of something a feckless female said to him when he was in his early twenties. Ever since then, he's been convinced that he was going to be single his whole life. Now, both his sister and his twin brother have both fallen in love and he's feeling out of sorts, for reasons he can't understand. When his dog, who's scared of just about everything, knocks down the new librarian, Zane is knocked for a loop, too. He feels he's too rough and uncouth for such a sweet, gentle woman. On her part, Harper has been shy and quiet her whole life, being the perfect daughter to make everyone else happy. Finally, when her fiancé dumps her, claiming she's too boring, she leaves San Francisco and moves to Eagle's Ridge, where she becomes the new librarian. Zane and Harper are instantly attracted to each other yet they are also wary, because they've both been hurt before. What follows is a story that will lift your heart and make you smile and they both try to give the other what they THINK the other wants and really doesn't. I loved watching them fall in love and they way it ends will make you laugh and cheer! I know anyone who reads this will love it, too!

Christie Ridgeway knows how to write characters, very very well. They are all delightful. The plot is straightforward, happy ending included. The only fault I have is that it's a short read. As usual, modern romance writers tend to keep the action simple as fast. Well, they can't all be Jane Austen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zane and Harper

This is a really cute love story.

Ex-soldier and gambler by nature, who has beaten the odds in life, an active outdoor adventurist owning the A&Z Watersports business with a totally crazy dog Gambler who had the most insane phobias. Zane is a insanely hot alpha who doesn't believe in love and romance as he is to big of a hunk.

Bring in Gambler who knocks over the New county Librarian Harper and all changes for both of them.

Harper is a shy personality who has not had a chance to spread her wings or opinions in life, and Eagles Ridge is a fresh start in life for her to change from a timid personality and bad wardrobe style.
Both characters are similar as they both never felt enough for their parent.

There journey is fun filled with amazing friends, quirky towns people and one match making diva.

All in all a very well written book by Christie thank you for a great read.

Zane is book #3 in the 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers series, which is written by 7 different authors. This novel can be read as standalone, but I'm sure you'd enjoy to read the whole series in reading order!

Zane is the funny guy with the scared dog - always open to take a bet. Harper is the quiet librarian, who doesn't want to be the quiet and boring type anymore. When Zane's dog Gambler knocks Harper over, a beautiful love story is going to start.

I loved that so many characters and couples of the other books participated in Zane and Harper's story. Best of all the "small things" was the development between Brenda and Sam! I read the book in one day and I can't wait to continue this series!
