Publisher Description
An adorable cowboy romance from USA Today bestselling author Cindi Madsen featuring:
•A cowboy hero who's too busy to notice his perfect girl lives next door
•A heroine who is determined to take the path of least resistance
•And a love story the whole town has been waiting years for
Brady Dawson grew up in the Colorado heartland running the Turn Around Ranch with his parents and his brothers. The Turn Around offers safety and rehabilitation for troubled teens, and doesn't leave a lot of downtime, so it's lucky his best friend is the girl next door, Tanya Greer. Everyone tries to label them as more than friends, but they've never crossed that line. Well, except that one time…
Tanya's family's dude ranch isn't attracting a crowd any more. Tanya would love to turn the ranch into a summer riding camp for city kids, but her parents refuse to consider her idea. They still seem to think of Tanya as a kid herself. So when they get an offer from a slick businessman, it looks like they're going to sell. And when Tanya is offered a well-paying job in the city, she knows it's time to forget her dreams for the ranch, and her hopes of being more than friends with Brady.
Brady doesn't want Tanya to go, but he doesn't want to hold her back either. The thought of losing Tanya has Brady's cowboy heart in knots. He realizes he'd better take his own advice, cowboy up, and confess his feelings. He only hopes it isn't already too late.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Best friends wrangle troubled teens, a friendly rodeo competition, and their newfound feelings for one another in Madsen's rowdy second Turn Around Ranch romance (after A Cowboy Never Quits). In Silver Springs, Colo., rancher Tanya Greer falls for her best friend and neighbor, Brady Dawson, but can't find a way to share her feelings. Brady, who helps runs Turn Around Ranch, his family's rehabilitation center for troubled teens, returns Tanya's feelings, but after a botched attempt to make things romantic years ago, he's wary of crossing the line. Tanya's parents still treat her like a child, denying her real responsibility on the ranch, so when she gets a job offer that would require her to relocate to the city, she strongly considers it—and the opportunity forces her and Brady to confront their emotions or risk losing each other forever. Meanwhile, love blooms between bad boy Maddox, the newest teen arrival to Turn Around Ranch, and good girl Harlow, the ranch's youngest employee. Tanya and Brady have a fairly easy transition from friends to lovers, leading the teens' more tumultuous romance to consistently steal the show. Both rollicking and sweet, this is sure to please fans of cowboy romance.
Customer Reviews
4 1/2 Stars for this sweet funny romance!
I love how in this series there are two love stories in each book. Tanya and Brady had me laughing-out-loud with their antics, while Maddox and Harlow had my heart breaking for them. All the characters are well developed and the banter between them is so realistic that I felt I was right there with them in the story. I love how the characters from the first book are in this book and I can't wait for future books with the other brothers from Turn Around Ranch. This is a great series and I highly recommend it.
Brady and Tanya have been best friends since childhood growing up down the road from each other. The whole town thought there was more going on between them, but that wasn't the case ... until recently. They started seeing each other in a different light and realized that maybe they were meant to be together. But will Tanya move away to follow her dreams? Or will her dreams come true right in Silver Springs?
Then there is a second love story between two teens. Maddox is new to Turn Around Ranch and is the brooding rebel. Harlow has never had a lot of friends so when Brady hires her to help at the ranch, she jumps at the chance. Seeing how her roping partner dumped her, maybe she'll find a new roping partner at the ranch. Maddox and Harlow have an instant connection ... but can the good girl and the bad boy make it work?
