Review 5/5: Cowboy Heartbreaker (A Wrangler's Creek Novel) by Delores Fossen

Allie and Ryder are the main character in this novella and are best friends. They are part of a group of four friends that have been friends since preschool. They all worked for the the Grangers at their ranch. Allie was their large- animal vet and they called her Dr. Good Girl. The nickname actually was perfect for Allie. Ryder was the opposite and more of a bad boy. 

At Curt’s wedding we find out Allie has a secret. She has always had feelings of more than friendship with Ryder. The morning after the wedding Allie and Ryder discover that they have spent the night in the hayloft of the ranch drinking and playing strip poker. They didn’t have sex, but they can’t unsee parts of each other that they saw that morning. Things take a complicated turn while they try to sort out where to go from here with their friendship. 

They go back and forth with the conflict of deciding what to do until they spend a heated night together. When they wake up the next day, they know what they want. Now it’s time to tell Ryder’s sister Bree….

I really enjoyed reading about the heated relationship between Allie and Ryder. They seem to have serious chemistry. I understand the conflict that they are going through since they have been close friends for most of their lives. I’m glad that they didn’t hold back and they went for it! I always say this with a novella, but I wanted more! I would have loved to read more about the two of them and more backstory about the friendship between the four friends.

I was shocked that Bree was so chill about Ryder and Allie being together. I figured she would be more sarcastic and have more questions about what was going on based on the way her character acted in beginning of the book when they were at the wedding. I’m glad she was cool with it, but it’s not like she has a say really. If two people want to be together you aren’t going to be able to stop them. So overall, her reaction was a positive thing. 

I love a good cowboy romance and I will look into her other books in the future. It was a good quick read. The sex scenes weren’t as descriptive as other books, but for me it was fine that way. It just left me wanting more of Allie and Ryder’s story.  

              

Revenge: A Lawless Novel Book 3 written by Lexi Blake

                                                     
               

 

Nobody falls harder than a Lawless brother, and Drew Lawless never thought he'd fall prey to the clutches of a woman and spiral down that tunnel called love. But there’s just something about Shelby that has him all twisted inside and refuses to let her go, no matter what she has to say about it. It's his way, or the highway.

 

Drew Lawless is rich, powerful and sexy, who could resist such a perfect male specimen? Shelby Gates, that’s who. Sure, she'll have her fun, because, why not? But when she becomes trapped by her own heart, things get real messy...

 

The third book in this series is one that I have been waiting for (not so patiently I may add) Lexi definitely did not disappoint! I have loved every book that she has written. When book 2 ended with that finally chapter my heart dropped, now, Drew has a new enemy in his sights and only Shelby can help him. He cannot have his siblings caught in the crossfire of this enemy.

 

Then toss in an unexpected brother and the shit hits the fan! Who is he, who does he work for? Drew doesn't trust him and Lexi writes his character to perfection and even I was kept in suspicion the entire book!

 

I did not want this book to end, and with a new brother in play, I'm curious if another book is in Lexis brilliant mind. I'll be making grabby hands as soon as it's available that’s for sure!

 

Make sure you read this series, you don't want to miss a single piece of action! It's SO worth it!
