About this eBook

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.

Hope on the Range is the second book in the Turn Around Ranch series. Brady Dawson and Tanya Greer have been friends for ages. Growing up on farms that were neighboring, they met early in life and they've pretty much been through all the things together over the years. While Brady works with troubled teens at his family ranch, Tanya works to help mistreated horses and other stray animals. Tanya has a huge heart and Brady is so wonderful and patient with the kids he works with. We also have teens, Maddox and Harlow, whose sweet romance also unfolds. Maddox is at the ranch and his past is heartbreaking, while Harlow is a local and meets him at the ranch. I so wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. I enjoyed the characters and individually the storylines were good as well, but there was so much happening. I feel like we didn't get as much of each story as we could have given how much was spread to the multiple storylines and I found it hard to get into. I enjoy Cindi Madsen's writing, so I'll most certainly give the next one in this series a try as well.

Brady Dawson and Tanya Greer have been best friends forever, growing up on neighbouring farms they have bickered, goaded, and taunted each other since they were small. Everyone else gives them grief about coming clean about being a couple, but they know they are just friends. Well, except that Tanya has felt differently the last six months and has bought a book about flirting online to try to get Brady's notice. Brady may have had some thoughts in that direction once or twice, their prom being a case in point, but Tanya shot him down so he put her in the friend zone, but recently she's been acting a bit odd, is she flirting? Brady and his family (including some adopted brothers) run a farm which helps kids that have got into trouble with the law. Swapping healthy outdoor living for drink, drugs and crime. Tanya's family run a dude ranch on their farm. There was nothing wrong with this book, but also there was no tension to really engage me, there was more romance (although U rated) between one of the bad boys at the Dawson ranch and one of the goody-two-shoes locals who helps out on the farm than there was between Brady and Tanya. I just didn't feel any spark between them, they were both too nice. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this second book in the Turn Around Ranch series. Tanya and Brady have been best friends, neighbors, and competitors for years. Tanya wants more than friends, but Brady doesn’t have a clue. Brady loves working on the ranch and helping at risk youth. He takes a special interest in their newest resident, Maddox. Tanya wants to start a horse rescue at her parent’s ranch, but her dad shuts her down. When Eric Richmond comes to stay, he has a proposition for her that would take her away from Colorado. She’s seriously considering his offer. Will her parents finally come around or will she leave? Will Brady finally see what’s been in front of him all along or will he lose Tanya? No spoilers so grab your copy and see what happens. I also loved the side love story of Maddox and Harlow, so sweet. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

About the author

Cindi Madsen is a USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance and young adult novels. She sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting, revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she’d be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if they’re sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children.
