“It’s just that I really want stability in my life.”

“I know,” he said again and took her hand in his. “But sometimes what you want and what you need are two different things.”

She couldn’t stop the burst of laughter from slipping out of her lips. “What makes you believe that?” She stopped in front of her door, her keys in her hands.

He smiled and leaned against her front railing. “Invite me in and I’ll tell you.”

She chuckled. “That’s probably the worst idea I’ve heard yet.”

His smile grew. “Won’t know until you give it a try.”

Her breath hitched when she played those words over in her mind. Dating. Was she really thinking about getting into a relationship with Cole Grayton?

She glanced at him again as he leaned closer to her, and his arm tightened around her shoulders. “What?” He leaned closer.

“Hmm?” She turned her eyes back to the screen as he chuckled.

“You keep stealing glances.” His finger went under her chin as he turned her head towards his. “What are you thinking about? Because obviously you’re not really into this show.” He nodded towards the television.

She sighed and glanced at his lips and decided she didn’t want to make up her mind about Cole just yet. Not until she’d had some fun. Who could blame her? It had been months since she’d had any fun. “You did mention something about making out like teenagers.”

Excerpt:

“You’ve got a nice space here.” He looked out at her view. The boardwalk was below them and he watched for a moment as people strolled by. Beyond that was a long strip of beach and then the emerald water. It was a calm day and barely any waves rippled the water, which made it look green for as far as the eye could see.

He turned towards her and noticed that some soft strands of her blonde hair had fallen around her face. She had either forgotten to put on makeup that morning or had very little on. Her skin looked so soft, he itched to reach out and touch it. His eyes roamed over her and he couldn’t deny the sudden and powerful tug he got from looking at her curves. She was taller than most women he’d dated. He gauged her height around five-eight. The old jeans she was wearing were snug in all the right places, making him wish he could run his hands over those long legs.

When she turned her eyes towards him, catching him in his assessment of her, he couldn’t stop the smile.

“Beautiful view,” he said, softly.

“I… I guess we can’t deny what’s between us,” she said with her eyes glued to his lips. His eyes went to hers in response.

He shook his head no. “Why are we even trying?”

She stepped back and took a deep breath. She shoved her hands into her pockets and shrugged her shoulders. “I guess there’s no real reason.” She looked up at him again.

Synopsis

Lauren had been raised to not be afraid of anything, and she lived by that code, that is until her dad died and left everything in her hands. Now she’s not only in charge of her two younger sisters, but she’s running a full-blown Texas ranch. Caring for a thousand‑acre ranch has its ups and downs, physically, mentally, and financially. All she is looking for is a little break. What she doesn't have time for is someone who will only complicate her life further. Chase is back in his hometown. Helping his dad with his veterinary practice is high on his list. So is being with the lovely Lauren West. Years ago, he found a unique way to bind them together. Now all he has to do is prove to her that he’s the right man to spend the rest of her life with.

My Thoughts

I’ve been eyeing this on my Kindle for a while now. I’ve been tempted to read it but was some what skeptical since it’s about the South and some reads really go over board when it comes to the South. Boy was I wrong with this read! I full enjoyed it and it was authentic. I loved the story of Lauren who lost her mom very early in life and was raised by her father. When he dies she is left in charge of the family ranch and her sister, who are a handful and by the way each have their own stories in this series of books. Lauren is stubborn and hard headed and has focused all her life and energy to carry on the family tradition and making sure her father’s hard work doesn’t get taken away. Then enters Chase her old high school boyfriend who has been away for years and all of sudden Lauren’s life is thrown for a loop. Secrets that have been buried for years are about to come out and Lauren is hell bent for them not to. If there is ever a weakness for Lauren it’s Chase. Lauren doesn’t want to get hurt and the last thing she needs is Chase ruining everything. So will Lauren take a chance or will she let her pride get in the way? This is one story that's definitely worth the read.

This is a great quick read that focuses on romance and second chances. I love the banter between these two and it has it's funny moments also. I loved the characters and the scenery is just plain amazing, I actually felt like I was on the ranch watching the sunrises and sunsets while reading. This is the first of in a series focusing on Lauren and her sisters; I can’t wait to read how their stories play out.
