Randy Hersch heads home after a rodeo accident to recuperate or at least the place he used to call home, his father's ranch. After arriving he meets neighboring rancher, Les Hardin who arrived to collect his land rental payment of one of their foals. Randy is surprised when Les takes a blind, cripple foal. When Randy and his sister deliver the the foal and it's mother to Les, he can't believe how attracted he is to the older man.

Les Hardin show-jumping career was cut short when his horse's hoof hit him in the head during a fall. His lover rejected him and after six years rebuilding his health and his life, he meets Randy Hersch. After Randy's visit home is cut short by his disapproving father, Les invites him to recuperate on his ranch. During the month long stay, they embark on a passionate affair where Randy becomes at ease with who he really is. But what will happen when Randy returns to his rodeo life?


A beautiful story! Poor Randy has denied who he is his whole life until he meets Les who helps him become true to himself. Les went through so much and he finds it difficult to trust with his heart but Randy breaks through. They are perfect together. T.A. Chase does an amazing job with these characters and you won't want to miss out reading this one.

Charity Harris has wanted Gabe Bettencourt for a very long time. But eight years ago, they had a disastrous one-night stand and after awhile of steering clear of him, they eventually became friends again. All Gabe wants to be is friends but Charity keeps asking herself why, what's wrong with her? Finally, Charity coaxes Gabe back to her bed and the sex is out of this world.

Even after the great sex, Gabe insists he's not good for Charity and doesn't think she'll be able to handle his darker side and needs. But she quickly shows him she's not the innocent he's always felt she was. So he decides to keep her until she finds what he thinks is the right man. Charity knows the right man for her and that's Gabe. And convincing him will be fun!

Lauren Dane has written a wonderfully endearing story of friends turned lovers. Why is it that men always think they know what's best for a woman and their heart? That's Gabe and Charity has to set him straight. I enjoy every book of Lauren Dane's I read and this one was the second book about the Bettencourts so I'm off to now read the first one.

Kally Jensen left everything in Michigan behind, in particular her abusive fiance. She could no longer take what he was dishing out. With the help of her sister's money, she climbs in her car and heads to the place he's least likely to find her, her friend in Wyoming.

He comes across an unconscious girl at the edge of the pond on his family's ranch. He feels an instant connection to the beautiful woman when he pulls her into his arms. All he knows from that moment on is his need to protect her and get her the help she needs to keep her alive.
