About this ebook

Can they turn one spectacular night into a lifetime of love?

After a disastrous ride forces world champion saddle bronc rider Chase Walker back to his family's ranch to recuperate, he’s happy to distract himself for a night with a mysterious, gorgeous woman. It should have just been a one-night stand, but she’s unforgettable.

Thanks to her cheating ex-fiancé, Ella Slade is done with rodeo cowboys...until she meets a sexy cowboy who catches a thief who stole her purse. What harm can one night of indulgence do? A lot, apparently, because when she arrives at her interview for a ranch manager job, Chase turns out to be her prospective boss. She’s adamant she won’t mix business with pleasure, but Chase suggests a deal—Ella takes the job, and they pretend that night never happened.

The longer they work together, the harder it is to pretend. Chase knows he’s falling for his midnight lover, but can he convince Ella to risk her heart again?

Determined to be professionals, they work together and keep try to keep their hands off each other, even if the attraction continues to grow. Ella has more than professionalism keeping her away. She doesn’t want to be once again second to the rodeo . The story was entertaining though not as good as book 1. I have to confess that I never warmed up to Ella and her insecurities. Chase, on the other hand, was a likable character. For me , it was a 3.5 stars story, but will give the author 4 stars for her time and effort. I was entrusted a copy of this by Tule Publishing. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Truly, Madly Texas by Eve Gaddy, book one in her Texas True series had me returning to Whiskey River, Texas for Chase and Ella’s enjoyable love story. Saddle bronc rider, Chase Walker is back at his family’s ranch to recuperate after being badly injured in a disastrous ride and temporarily taking over as ranch manager. Stopping in Austin for a quick meal and drink while away from the ranch on business, Chase encounters a purse thief. Returning the purse to its owner, Chase finds himself sharing a drink, dance or two, and the night with the beautiful Ella. Ella Slade is done getting involved with rodeo cowboys after breaking up with her cheating ex- fiancé and quitting her assistant ranch manager job on his family’s ranch. Indulging in a one-night with a sexy cowboy who stopped the thief who stole her purse shouldn’t have been a problem or caused any harm. Only it does cause a problem when Ella arrives to interview for a ranch manager job and Chase turns out to be one of her prospective bosses. She is determined not to mix business with pleasure. Chase has not been able to forget the beautiful Ella, so he suggests she take the job and they pretend that night never happened. Having to work together, Chase and Ella discover a magnetic attraction and off the charts chemistry, making it difficult for them to pretend. Chase realizes he’s falling for Ella, now he needs to convince her that he’s not like her ex, that’s she’s more important to him than the rodeo, and to take a chance on him; on them. Ms Gaddy wrote a wonderfully, sizzling and emotional story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with off the charts, sizzling chemistry, intense emotions, and charming secondary characters giving Chase and Ella a chance for love and a future they desire. I highly recommend Truly, Madly Texas to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This is the second book in the Texas True series and I am so happy we got Chase Walker second! I felt like the Walker family is one we have been waiting for forever but a family in Whisky River that everyone knows. Chase is a rodeo man a two-time champion that is only home now because of an injury. And that injury has him down and in some need of some liquid cheer. When he is in the bar he meets beauty and they have one night of fun. No last names were exchanged and they go on their way never to meet again, or so they think. Ella Slade has managed a ranch and was stuck in a no end position where she was because she was also the fiance' or rather now the ex-fiance because he was a buckle bunny cheater on the roed as a rodeo cowboy. She packed up and left her job before she had a new one. Yes, never good to do that, momma says. So here she is in town doing interviews. A couple of days later she knocks on the door at Walker Ranch and guesses who answers the door? Yes, Ella has issues but who wouldn't if a cheater was in your life in the past. Chase and the Walker family as a whole are a fun family to be around and this read was one I honestly really enjoyed. IT was different from book one in this series and I am so looking forward to the rest of this series to see where and whom our author hooks up the Walker siblings with.
