When Ash Colter was twelve, his mother divorced his cattle baron father and whisked him away to raise in her native England. Sixteen years later, when his father dies, he inherits Marathon Ranch. Running a 1,000-acre spread famous for the best Black Angus cattle in the great state of Texas is the biggest challenge he’s ever faced…until he meets a pert, pretty, and sassy ranch hand who seems to have her own agenda for his ranch. Unfortunately, she makes his spurs go jingle-jangle-jingle like no one else ever has!
Trish Owens is a real cowgirl, a loner, and, though she’d never admit it, a little lonely. When the “English Cowboy” appears on the scene, her entire way of life is threatened, not only her job, but her beloved Quarter horses. She’s sure he plans to import his thoroughbred horses from England. Worst of all is the chemistry sizzling between them. He makes feelings she thought long dead awaken.
Can these two unwilling allies set aside their differences to put Marathon Ranch in the Winner’s Circle…and to fall in love?
Between The Pages
This book is a contemporary western and has plenty of cowboys and horses, which are shown on the beautiful cover. The author has a good writing voice and visually shows you the horses and setting as though you were standing right there in the barn. Ash and Trish were well-developed characters who are meant to be together. The read is smooth, and the plot has a few twists involving a sick horse, an ex-girlfriend, and rustlers. While the story is told in Ash’s point of view, I would have liked some scenes from Trish, but I really enjoyed this story and will watch for the second book in the Return to Folly series.
