The Cowboy's Daughter

Story of Kelly and her daughter head back to TX because her father is threatening to sell the ranch. Kelly has many secrets from her family. Story also follows Trent who was a bull rider and he rents a space at the ranch. The women attempt to ask the local bank for loans to get ehri businesses up and running to help the money situation. Adult situations. terrific story!

Heartwarming second-chance cowboy romance! Kelly is drawn back home from New York when her family's ranch is facing financial ruin. Determined to help wherever she can, she's equally determined to avoid the entire subject of her daughter's father, a renown and retired bull-rider who has avoided her calls since their one-night-stand nearly six years earlier. Trent is still finding his footing after the ride that ended his career nearly ended his life as well. He wants to start a bull-riding school on a local ranch, not knowing even a hint that he's already very connected to that ranch and its family. This secret/unknown baby story rises above the usual with complex storytelling, well-developed characters, and an honest approach to the difficulties inherent in the characters' histories. It's instantly captivating, full of surprises, building a fictional environment that is as fresh and inviting as it is warm and familiar. It's an outstanding start to a new series, and I highly recommend it. My only complaint is not with the writing itself, but with having to once again ignore a cover in order to escape into a book. Alissa is referred to as blonde at least three different times, despite the very obvious brunette child on the cover. It can't be that hard to get it right. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

First off, I'm in love with this cover. It just drew me right in. A second chance romance. Kelly, single mom has returned home to Three Sister Ranch with her five year old daughter, Alissa. Kelly was never able to get in touch with Alissa's dad, professional bull rider, Trent. Little does Kelly know that her dad has leased some of his property to Trent. Now all Trent wants to do is make things right and become a dad to Alissa. Loved this book, great story line that kept my interest through out the book. The chemistry between Kelly and Trent is hot. Once I started this story I could not put down. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
