About this eBook

I might be a country girl from the same small town of Sweetwater, Texas, as horse wrangler Roarke Frost, the girl next door who knows him like few know him, but I didn't know enough to save my heart.

He's the reason why I left Sweetwater behind.

But now fate proves she loves a wicked twist and sends me back to Sweetwater to pull together a Christmas festival—and I run smack into the man again, quite literally. His body is pressed to mine, his hands on my arms, and I'm melting like chocolate in the sizzling Texas sunshine. And I run.

I know it’s not exactly respectable, but it works, just not for long. No matter how much I try to get tangled up in Christmas, I end up tangled up in Roarke instead—and the man has me feeling the heat of our attraction and the warmth of our past friendship. He feels like Mr. Right, but history says he’s Mr. Wrong.

But if he wants a second chance, Roarke Frost is going to have to work for it. He’ll need to prove to me that this holiday is a season of new beginnings, the kind that last forever.

Each book in the Texas Heat series is STANDALONE:
* The Truth About Cowboys
* Tangled up in Christmas

Ratings and reviews

It's been a long time since I've read LRJ and this blurb made me snap up this holiday story but I just didn't connect with any of the characters. I loved the animal rescue, the small town vibe, and the holiday festival. There was a lot about this book that I couldn't get past: the, what seemed to me, dismissal of #MeToo and the insinuation that you should always forgive family regardless of their actions were two that I couldn't get over. I never connected to any of the characters- the main ones from this story and the one before it. I think I'll skip the rest of this series.

Hannah has returned to her home in Texas to restart her life after things don't turn out the way they should have in California. The last thing she expects is to run into her ex-fiancé fresh out of the plane and that's a twist of fate she was definitely not looking for. Hannah and Roarke have a history that ended bitterly and, when they have to work closely together for the benefit of their home town, the time to confront their past will only close in on them. This was my first read by the author and it was a nice story, sweet and romantic, but I wasn't crazy about the delivery and it ended up being just an ok book for me.

We are back in Sweetwater, TX where everyone knows everyone else, and where Roarke Frost and Hannah grew up. The year she finished college and he veterinarian school, they fell in love and got engaged. But a video went viral implying Roarke had cheated on her . She left for LA hurt and didn’t look back. But fate brings her back after six years, and the secrets Roarke has kept will need to be revealed, but there will be consequences. It’s a story about secrets, misunderstandings and second chances. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and Entangled. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
