Meet New York Times
bestselling author Jennifer Ryan’s McGraths: a family as untamed as the land
they call home.
Tate McGrath just didn’t get it. Why was
Liz Scott, his best friend—and the person he relied on and trusted
most—suddenly avoiding him! When he
finally tracks her down, he finds her with a man he knows nothing about and
she’s been dating for weeks.
Suddenly, he can’t make himself ignore her tempting curves and deep green eyes,
and all he wants to do is keep her all to himself. What was going on? Could he possibly
be…jealous?
Liz had made the decision: stop carrying
a torch for Tate and find a guy who wants to be her everything. Tate had always seen her as honest, dependable,
smart, kind…Best friend, not girlfriend! And she needed to give up the dream of
marrying the man she’d loved since preschool and move on.
But when Liz’s boyfriend turns
dangerous, Tate steps up to help and soon realizes he’s the cowboy hero she’s
been waiting for him to be all along.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ryan launches the McGrath series, a spin-off of her Wild Rose Ranch series, with this rocky, melodramatic work of romantic suspense. Rancher Tate McGrath is still reeling from the events surrounding his brother Drake's whirlwind romance in Tough Talking Cowboy, and his preoccupation has created a rift in his friendship with Liz Scott. Liz has harbored feelings for Tate since they were kids and is tired of being taken for granted. As Tate works to mend their relationship, he realizes that he returns her feelings. But Liz and Tate's budding romance is repeatedly threatened by Liz's abusive ex-boyfriend, Clint Mayhew, who refuses to accept that Liz broke up with him and grows increasingly unhinged and violent as he tries to force his way back into her life. Clint's over-the-top, often sickening behavior and the fear he causes in Liz and Tate eclipse the relatively bland romance, and the dull characters do little to bolster the unbalanced plot. Only Ryan's die-hard fans should bother with this one.
