About this ebook

A guarded cowboy.


An independent woman starting over.


One unexpected connection that longs to become a second chance romance…

Ryan Wylder isn’t looking for love.

He’s been burned before, and he has no interest in making the same mistake twice. But when his beautiful new neighbor points a shotgun at him during a late-night misunderstanding, Ryan quickly realizes Carly Clarke is unlike anyone he’s ever met.

And he can’t seem to stay away.

Carly is determined to build a new life on her own terms. No more bad decisions. No more relying on anyone else. Just hard work, self-reliance, and her dream of turning her property into a thriving organic farm.

There’s only one complication.

Handsome cowboy Ryan Wylder keeps showing up with helpful ideas, impossible-to-refuse offers, and a quiet kindness that chips away at the walls around her heart.

As their lives become increasingly intertwined, Carly must decide whether accepting Ryan’s help means giving up her independence—or finally allowing herself a second chance at love.

Can two wounded hearts learn to trust again? Or will fear of the past keep them from the future they secretly want together?

Filled with heartfelt emotion, swoony chemistry, and small-town charm, this sweet cowboy romance delivers a sweet interracial, closed-door love story with all the feels and a satisfying happily ever after.

Ratings and reviews

Ryan and Carly are quite a pair. They are both mule-headed and push each other's buttons without even trying. When they are together sparks fly. Their first encounter at the end of Book 2 sets the tone perfectly for their relationship. They face some problems that appear insurmountable at first glance but they both come to the realization that they can't let the past ruin their future. The Cowboy's Second Chance is a wonderful, sweet romance with well-developed likable characters that will hold your attention from start to finish. I love the town of Sweetheart Creek and it's cast of quirky characters.

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars The Cowboy’s Second Chance is book 3 in the Cowboys of Sweetheart Creek, Texas by Jean Oram and love this series! Up next is the youngest Wylder brother, Ryan and next door neighbor Carly. Both have trust issues from past relationships but sparks fly, they push each other’s buttons and think they can do all this without their hearts getting involved...no likely! You definitely need to read on to see how it all ends... Can’t wait for the next Wylder brother!

This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from the author. Again, the characters seem real enough to walk off the page. Their situations seem real, too. The dialogue is wonderfully fun. Along with the fun scenes there are some very poignant ones. Keep tissues handy! It was interesting to read the difference between 7yo Ryan's view of things and the reality as seen by his older brothers. And it was interesting to see Ryan giving his mom advice. The whole family is really loving and welcoming. Their interaction was a joy to see.
