Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Kate Pearce is back with a delightful new romance about a gutsy cowboy who learns that he’ll gamble it all for the woman he loves . . .
Cowboy Max Romero is a married man—even if he hasn’t seen his bride since their impulsive Reno wedding. When the seriously sexy Brit Phoebe Creighton-Smith suddenly shows up in his life again, the last thing he expects is a request to play man-and-wife in front of her family. But it sounds like a challenge to the mischievous Max, who offers Phoebe one in return—give up proper English etiquette for riding the range like a real rancher’s woman.
Phoebe is willing to rope a stallion, if it means she can convince her grandmother to release the trust fund she’s entitled to after marriage. She’ll just have to pretend that her deliciously brawny “husband” isn’t tempting her to total abandon every minute of every day—and night. But just when the heat between them crackles into a blaze, Phoebe’s snobby clan forces Max to make a choice, he knows he’ll risk everything to convince her that with them, true love is a sure thing . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Pearce turns up the heat in her steamy third Three Cowboys romance (after Three Cowboys and a Puppy), revisiting ex-Marine buddies Luke, Noah, and Max, who all help run Luke's mother's cattle spread. Four years before the start of the book, drop-dead gorgeous Max was drinking away his troubles one evening in Reno, Nev., when he met properly cardiganed and pearled English rose Phoebe Creighton-Smith, who proposed a marriage of convenience that would help her inherit property. Max was just drunk and charmed enough to say yes and, after an unconsummated ceremony, Phoebe returned to England and Max returned to Marine duty. Now all three ranchers are shocked when Max's "wife" shows up at their door. To get her fortune, Phoebe must now prove to her relatives that their marriage is real. Sparks soon fly and Max zealously cooperates with "Feebs" when she's "almost combusted by lust," but neither can bear to discuss their future. After a trying visit from Feebs's brother, George, an obnoxious British lord, and with help from their several friends, love and lust win out in the end. Readers will find plenty to enjoy in the leads' dynamic: Phoebe thinks admirably well on her feet and Max enjoys letting her be in control. Cowboy romance lovers will want to check this out.
Customer Reviews
Great characters
Max and Phoebe are so great together. Both these characters have personal issues to overcome and the miscommunication, or lack of being honest with each other is hard. I really love these cowboys and the women who love them. While this is part of a series it can be a stand alone, you won’t be lost. Loved the whole series and I’m sorry Kate isn’t writing more cowboy books.
Who doesn’t love sexy cowboys?
“Oh what tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” Says it all with this story. Phoebe is desperate! She needs a husband in order to receive her inheritance. Most people go to a bar to pick up someone, she goes to find a husband. When Max is asked to marry by a total stranger, his answer is why not? And the next day it was as if it never happened and Phoebe goes back to England. Years later she finds Max at the ranch in CA. He wonders if she is looking for a divorce, but there is a spark and so many secrets on both sides.
Love the MCs and the insecurities both Phoebe and Max try to face up to, but also hide. Glad the previous characters are all back and the is a continuation of their stories. Be forewarned there are a few steamy scenes.
