About this ebook

A storm strands a single mom with a rich, rugged cowboy in this gripping contemporary romance.

Single mom Alexa Rodriguez’s first child-free vacation in years is supposed to be low-key. But then she meets brooding Texas rancher Hayes Elliott. Heir to an empire and suffering deep emotional pain, he tries to push her away—even as she craves his touch. And when a storm strands them together, their undeniable chemistry explodes. Now Alexa finds herself introducing Hayes to her precious son, imagining herself in Hayes’s world and keeping secrets that could destroy everything . . .

“An emotional tale that will pull readers in, Taming the Texan brings together a couple who thought they may never find love again-or as in Hayes’s case-the capability to love.” —Romance Reviews Today

Ratings and reviews

This book definitely pulled at my heartstrings. Both Alexa and Hayes have deep inner scars they are still healing. When mother nature strands these two broken souls it makes you believe in miracles. The desire is ignited between the two. The scenes with Hayes and Alexa's little boy are precious. Only secrets are being kept that could cost them their relationship. Hayes is just finding a way to the land of the living and the secret may just crush him. The epilogue has me eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

Taming the Texan takes a look at love from all sides. From the heartache and grief that shadows loss to the fear, guilt and inspiration that finding new love can bring. What begins as a meeting between strangers morphs into a merging of souls. Hayes and Alexa have both struggled with survivor's guilt. Alexa has had two tragic loses in her young life and is slowly bouncing back from the most recent one. Hayes is a man haunted by events of war and comrades lost. Can a twist of fate not only help them heal, but create a family? Jules Bennett comes at love from a different angle and delivers moments that are priceless.
