Sam Compton left Compass Ranch seven years ago to make a name for himself in the business world. Presently, Sam is a star in the stock trade and is about to get the promotion of a lifetime when betrayal leaves him jobless. Sam learns that his father is sick. He heads home to spend time with his dad and rediscover the things he loves about Compass Ranch and possibly find everlasting love.

Cindi Middleton has been all across the world but only found a home once she landed on Compass Ranch in Colorado. She loves J. D. Compton like a father. Hearing that he is ill leaves her struggling emotionally. Cindi finds comfort in Sam Compton but feels it would be impossible for them to be a couple when she has these sexual quirks.

Sam and Cindi are determined to stay away from each other but are finding it difficult. The secrets that lie between them could possibly bring them together or tear them apart. This is a time in their lives where they need someone to lean on. Will Sam and Cindi find a way into each other’s hearts or will they keep denying what is right in front of them?

Eastern Ambitions is an emotionally driven story. This is the third book in the Compass Brothers series and I absolutely recommend that these books be read in order. I have been following this series since the beginning. I find myself being drawn into the emotional story. I love these characters and I could feel their pain, anguish and hope. Sam and Cindi’s story is a beautiful one and they are incredibly sexy and steamy together. I love that Eastern Ambitions brings more interaction with the rest of the Compton clan. It is great to get to see more of the characters that I love! From New York to Colorado, Eastern Ambitions takes you on a journey of love, loss and hope for a happily ever after.
