Series: Chance Texas (Book 2)
"You might be just what I need."
Rancher Travis Chance has a soft spot for lost souls. Stranded and broke
in Chance, Texas, Summer Wheeler ignites in him a fierce desire to
protect her. Clearly the fragile beauty is hiding something. But despite
his disastrous romantic history, Travis knows in his gut he can trust
her.
Summer comes to Chance looking for one of the men who devastated her
life. Though she hates lying to him, Travis's job offer provides a means
to her end. But she never counted on falling for the sexy rancher and
his troubled little girl. Then "accidents" start happening at the family
homestead. Has Summer brought danger to the two people who are teaching
her to love again?
Good book. I liked Travis, even though he was a little too prone to simply taking over and doing what he thought was best for people, even if that's not what they want. Summer did want the job, but she wanted to be sure she was actually doing something that was needed. She was very independent and didn't want to depend on anyone because she had already lost so much. She did find herself wanting to help Travis's daughter Jenna, who seemed to be very unhappy. She and Travis also quickly found themselves falling in love with each other. They did have to deal with the "accidents" that were happening around the ranch, which Summer blamed on the man she was searching for. I enjoyed the final showdown and the way things turned out. I also liked Travis's brother Gage -- I hope his story is next.
Series: Chance Texas (Book 1)
There was nowhere safe for Grace Baker and her baby to run. Even the law
was no match for the ruthless drug lord who'd fathered her child.
Serrano had spies everywhere and wouldn't stop till he captured his son
and killed Grace. Now Marshal Sam Chance was suddenly back in her life
offering protection...could she dare to refuse?
Sam believed his family ranch was the one place Grace would be safe.
Here they found refuge in each other's arms. But returning home only
reminded Sam of his past failure to protect those he loved. This time
had to be different. Because Grace and her baby meant more to him than
life itself.
Very good book. Grace had been doing a pretty good job of running and hiding, but Sam had been looking for her to get Grace and Mikey back in protection. When Serrano caught up with them, Sam decided the safest place to take them was his family's ranch. The biggest problem was that he hadn't been back there in more than ten years. Fortunately, the only issues going back were his own. He had fled the ranch after feeling responsible for the death of his little brother, and had spent the years since then trying to overcome his guilty feelings. By returning there, Grace helped him confront those feelings while she began healing from her own traumas and guilty feelings. I liked the way that Sam helped her learn to defend herself, and how he worked to help her with her feelings. I also liked the way he made sure she got the help she needed at the end, even though he almost gave up on their feelings for each other. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
