He never stayed put… 

until she gave him a reason to 

Rebel cowboy Hadley Smith had never been one to stick around. Then he suddenly became a single father—to twins. Hadley doesn’t need Jenna Moran looking over his shoulder, but he grudgingly starts to fall for her compassion and strength. When faced with an impossible choice, can Hadley prove to Jenna he’s willing to put down roots?

Between The Pages 
This series is ramping up on the list of my favourites. Book six is another hit. We meet Hadley in The Rancher’s Second Chance (book five) as a secondary character. At first he’s not very likable, but the guy soon grows on you and we learn his wife is expecting twins. The start of this book draws you in immediately with the death of Hadley’s wife. He’s now a single dad, but receives help from Clara one of his past foster parents and Jenna. This story has an emotional punch with Hadley’s troubled past as well as Jenna’s, and both lead characters have trust issues. Watching Hadley connect with his twins is truly endearing and some of my favourite scenes in the story. He quickly becomes a bad boy hero and you’ll root for his happy ending. The plot has several interesting twists with Clara’s relationship with Hadley and him running her farm, as well as Cody aka Cory, Hadley’s brother, Dallas, and Hadley’s wife’s parents. This is a sweet and enjoyable holiday read.
