Cassie MacLaren has come a long way since being dumped by her long-time boyfriend, a man she believed to be her future. Successful in her job at MacLaren Enterprises, dreaming of one day leading one of the divisions, she’s moved on to start a new relationship, having little time to dwell on past mistakes.
Matt Garner loves his job as rodeo representative for Double Ace Bucking Stock. Busy days and constant travel leave no time for anything more than the occasional short-term relationship—which is just the way he likes it. He’s come to accept the regret of leaving the woman he loved for the pro rodeo circuit.
The future is set for both, until a chance meeting ignites long buried emotions neither is willing to face.
Forced to work together, their attraction grows, even as multiple arson fires threaten Cassie’s new home of Cold Creek, Colorado. Although Cassie believes the danger from the fires is remote, she knows the danger Matt poses to her heart is real.
While fighting his renewed feelings for Cassie, Matt focuses on a new and unexpected opportunity offered by MacLaren Enterprises—an opportunity that will put him on a direct collision course with Cassie. AMAZON 4 Stars
Immature, stubborn, selfish, prideful, such is the first love between Cassie and Matt. Oh, they were both crazy in love with each other but Matt and Cassie both had a lot of growing up left to do. They each hurt the other but thought that they had moved on. In some areas, even though its years later, they both are in some denial. They both also had some really good friends and family members too. Janie was a really good friend to Cassie, often speaking the truth to her that she didn't always wanted to hear. But Janie really cares about Cassie and doesn't want to see her make another mistake because of pride and carelessness. There were plenty of other secondary people in the story that added so much to it as well.
Not only are there business challenges and fireworks between Cassy and Matt but there is also a mystery of two that must be solved. At least one of those mysteries is potentially dangerous. Those fireworks that I mentioned? They were mainly Cassie not pulling any punches. Of course Matt was no slouch in not being run over by Cassie either. Both were strong personalities, neither one wanting to be totally open, or back up for the other. A total recipe for disaster, which is what follows for a while. I did enjoy the sparring matches that also followed and there was plenty of emotion to go around.
I've read several of the stories in the Series and would like to read more of them. This one was a clean, interesting story.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
