Publisher Description
USA Today bestseller Caitlin Crews returns to Cold River, CO, and cowboys, with an emotional second chance romance in Secret Nights with a Cowboy, the stunning first installment in her new Kittredge Ranch series.
A man holding on...
Riley Kittredge has always known exactly what he wanted. His land, his horses. His woman. He met and married Rae Trujillo far too young, and their young love combusted right after they said their vows. But their passion has never managed to burn itself out. Yet when Rae shows this time, it's not a night of pleasure she demands, but a divorce.
A woman letting go...
Rae should have moved on a long time ago. She knows she and Riley just don't work. They might make great lovers, but that doesn't make a marriage. And now Rae wants a new life, complete with a baby. But when her husband offers to be a father, to give her the family she's always secretly desired, she and Riley will both have to face demons from their past—and choose love over fear at last.
“Loaded with charming characters [and] wit….will win the heart of any romance fan.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A True Cowboy Christmas
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Crews opens her Kittredge Ranch contemporary romance series with this sizzling tale of an off-the-rails marriage. Rae Trujillo, a gifted florist and "her own worst enemy," married handsome horse trainer Riley Kittredge immediately after high school. For more than 10 years, Rae's secret yearning for a baby has tormented her, as Riley has always been very vocal about not wanting children. Rae moved back in with her parents years ago and everyone in their small Colorado town believes that Rae and Riley are already divorced, but they've never made it official. Rae still frequently returns to Riley's house to pick fights that inevitably end in torrid bouts of lovemaking. When Rae finally does ask for a divorce, Riley, who suffered through his parents' rocky marriage, sets out to smooth things over with a peace offensive. They decide to try to break the cycle of sex and fighting by becoming friends but it's not long before they complicate things by falling back into bed. Mercifully, their kind, supporting relatives many of whom readers will be familiar with from Crews's Cold River series are at hand to help them sort things out. Though the plot is somewhat contrived, the romance is red-hot. Fans will rejoice that Crews has two more rowdy Kittredge brothers to pair off in future installments.
Customer Reviews
Well written
his book was well written but, I didn’t really connect with Rae or Riley. I understood Riley better than Rae. Rae seemed to be stuck in a time warp and couldn’t (or wouldn’t) tell Riley what went wrong when they were young and first married. But, Riley didn’t have a clue and he still loved her. She would get defensive and angry with him even though she knew he didn’t know what he did wrong. Thankfully, secrets were revealed and they can finally live their lives.
The Run-On Sentences are Killing Me
I only read the sample but I can see there are too many run-on sentences. Sometimes I just want to get to the point.
