When she runs into an old flame, she decides she can live out a fantasy, then leave town to pursue her dreams. But love doesn’t play by the rules...

If you are a frequent visitor of Maureen’s Books you know that I love Cowboy stories. There’s just something about Cowboys and country life that I always adored. So when I saw ‘Her Second Chance Cowboy’ on Netgalley, I knew this was a book I needed to read.

In ‘Her Second Chance Cowboy’ we meet James and Reese. James is a wealthy Cowboy, living his dream of having his own ranch, and starting a new program for children with special needs. One thing he knows for sure, is that he is only a guy for casual relationships. But when Reese, the girl he had his eyes on in High School, comes back to town he isn’t so sure he can keep things casual.

Reese is a photographer, trying to make a professional career out of her love for photography. Reese is determined to get her dream job first, and then when the time comes to start a family. But when Reese sees James again, the idea of a dream job travelling the world sounds kind of hard.

I loved this book! There were just so many great things about it. For starters the setting of Cypress Creek, Texas definitely makes me want to hop on a plane and visit. I’ve always loved the small town setting, and this one definitely checked all the marks for me. But above all the romance between Reese and James was just so butterflies-in-my-tummy good that I couldn’t put it down. And the family bond between James and his grandparents.. Sigh..

‘Her Second Chance Cowboy’ is a very romantic, mysterious and beautiful story that I loved right from the start. Romantic, because Reese and James where just perfect for each other and their chemistry was amazing. Mysterious, because a part of this story is how they try to solve the mystery James’s Great Great Grandfather left for them to solve. And beautiful, because of the setting, the friendships, the family bond and above all the nice ‘clean’ romance between Reece and James. And there’s even a little suspense going on. A little.. but still!

Near the end we got some hints about a possible other book, and OMG I can’t wait. This was a perfect read for me. I loved every single page and even now, a day after finishing the book I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m definitely keeping my eye out for Makenna Lee and I’d recommend you to do the same.
