About this eBook

He thought he was in control until she snuck into his heart...

 

Carter Hill walked away from a perfectly fine life and relationship…all for a career she's chased since she was fourteen. Years and a PhD later, she loves her job as a water rights consultant. At the same time, now that all her brothers are happily married, she’s lonely and wanting more. But the only man in her life is Logan – super serious, no sense of humor, and friend-zoned. Or is he? Perhaps a sexy, no-strings affair with a man more driven than she is could help her move on. 

Logan Cartez doesn't date, do relationships, or worry about commitment. He's married to his job – making sure what destroyed his family ranch and their legacy doesn't happen to others. When Carter propositions him, what began as a passionate and unforgettable night soon develops into more. Logan finds himself doing things he swore he never would, and the feisty, brilliant, blue-eyed rancher’s daughter has him thinking about so much more than work.

Ratings and reviews

Three and a half stars. Carter Hill is the only Hill daughter and a water rights consultant. Her biggest client is lawyer Logan Cortez who has dedicated his life to helping small farms protect their water supply. What started out as a working relationship evolved over time into a friendship where Carter helped Logan to see there was more to life than work. But after Carter's relationship ends both she and Logan start to realise that there could be more to their relationship than just friendship, but it takes Carter's mother being injured for the two of them to cross that line. I have enjoyed this series and I was looking forward to reading Carter's story. Whilst I enjoyed both the start and the ending I felt the middle of the book sagged a bit for me and it didn't hold my attention, hence it took me the best part of December to finish a book I would normally expect to read in just over a day. Autry's book Taming the Troublemaker remains my favourite of the series. I received a free copy of this book from the publisher Tule in return for an honest review.

I loved Carter and Logan’s friends to lovers story in Landing the Lawman by Kadie Scott, book five in The Hills of Texas series. Carter chose her career over a perfect life and relationship, a job as a water rights consultant that she’s wanted since a teen. With all of her brothers happily married and starting families she’s lonely and has an emptiness she needs to fill. The only other man in her life is Logan Carter, a lawyer married to his job, working to make sure what destroyed his family ranch and legacy doesn't happen to others. An unforgettable night of passion between these two ends up turning into more. The magnetism between Carter and Logan keeps them connected and their chemistry is off the charts. Helping Carter at her family’s ranch has him doing things he promised himself he never would. The strong, feisty, brilliant Carter has him thinking about lots more than work and his no relationship rule. I found myself loving these two and believing they were perfect for each other. Ms. Scott wrote a wonderful and sexy story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Carter and Logan a chance to find loved and a future together. I highly recommend Landing the Lawman to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I have read and truly enjoyed the previous stories in this series, and this one was one of the best. Carter Hill is one of five siblings, she being the only girl. Now a woman with a PhD and a water rights consultant she broke up with her boyfriend even though she loved the ranching life promised, but she also loved her job . Logan Cartez, a lawyer who dedicates his time battling for those taken advantage in the water rights, is a man whose past has defined his present. A tough man , whose fiancee cheated on him, and one who doesn’t do relationships for fear of getting hurt and because he fears he might love his job too much. Logan frequently hires Carter to test the water and land , and as time has gone by , a sort of friendship has developed. Feeling kept under wrap. But all changes when an emergency calls Carter home, and Logan follows on the excuse that he needs her close by. It was interesting watching the relationship developing between Carter and Logan. Once we understand Logan’s past , we get to know the man . But the road to happiness is bumpy, especially when Carter’s integrity is questioned. Yes, this is a romance, but it’s also a story about family, overcoming the past, and allowing one’s heart to open even though it’s a scary endeavor. Remembering no one is perfect and life is full of ups and downs. Another wonderful story by this talented author. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Tule Publishing.
