The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall

Debra Holt’s third book, The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall, in The Tremaynes of Texas series really pulls at the heartstrings right out of the gate. Trey and Laurie’s story is filled with emotions that touch deeply, and keep the pages turning. There’s one thing that stands out the most for me with this author’s male characters and that is their abilities of expressing their true feelings and exposing their hearts…more than once Trey truly stole my heart when he was able to be true to himself while at the same time breaking down any barriers that challenged a future with Laurie and TJ. This was truly HEA that was hard fought and a joy to experience. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I have come to love this series about a set of siblings that suffered a great loss at a young age, but their family and love has made them stronger. Two have found their HEA when they least expected . This time the story belongs World Champion Bronc Rider, Trey Tremayne. Trey is back home on a medical leave. When he goes to the local general store for supplies, he literally falls rescuing a woman . Laurie Wilkes is a school teacher and single mom in town to help her grandfather’s store while he’s on his honeymoon. Her goal in life is to be the best mom possible and has no interest in romance. When the boy she watched from afar in HS crosses paths with her, her feelings and dormant longings surface. Trey is known as the Rodeo Romeo and she believes she’s no match for him. They come from different backgrounds and their goals don’t merge. Plus, he travels and she lives in Dallas. This was a sweet, clean, touching story about finding love and realizing that goals change when you find “the one”. I look forward to the last single Tremayne’s story. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Trey and Laurie’s story in The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall by Debra Holt, book three in The Tremaynes of Texas series, was a sweet, enjoyable, emotional, and heartwarming tale, that is about how appearances can be deceiving and how a shy girl’s secret teenage crush turns into forever. From the beginning, when Laurie falls into Trey’s arms, there was a chemistry and magnetism between these two; despite Laurie’s girlhood crush. Add in a little boy, TJ, wanting male attention, someone to do things with, and you have the setting for either the perfect relationship or a heart-breaking, disappointing. Watching the popular playboy bronc rider falling for the quiet, shy girl is quite delightful. I enjoyed seeing Trey out of his comfort zone, acting out of character without even realizing it; becoming a soft, caring and kind-hearted man. Laurie, a school teacher, taking over her grandfather’s store for the summer, has become a force of nature. The once quiet girl has left her shell behind to become a caring and protective mother to TJ, an amazing little boy who captures everyone’s heart. Ms. Holt wrote a sweet, heartwarming romance filled with strong magnetism, sizzling chemistry, clever banter, and endearing secondary characters giving Trey and Laurie a chance for a future together, filled with love as well as a family for TJ. I highly recommend The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
