HER LAST CHANCE COWBOY
She came seeking family...will she find love at Big Heart Ranch?
When pregnant single mother Hannah Vincent shows up professing to be the half sister of the Maxwells of Big Heart Ranch, horse trainer Tripp Walker is wary. Wounded before, he doesn't trust easily. If only Hannah and her feisty five-year-old daughter weren't so impossible to resist. Now, despite his doubts, joining this little family is quickly becoming the cautious cowboy's greatest wish.
My Review:
I'm seriously tripping over Tripp even though he "tends to be as confused as a cow in a parking lot." (p 204) when it comes to relationships and romance and basically all things Hannah! But I can handle that inconvenience if Hannah can.
I mean, it's not often a girl runs into a vegetarian hero in the pages of a romance novel -- especially a cowboy one. Be still my tofu-lovin' heart! (side note: what's with Tripp not sharing his prize-winning vegetarian chili recipe with his avid readers?!) That man sure knows how to keep a secret. Come's from being more than a tad distrustful and a whole lot closed mouth. Except when it comes to Hannah -- then he's all about spewing out all kind of rants which put Hannah on the defensive and then...kapow! Fireworks. As wise old wrangler Dutch says, "Whoo-ee. You two are as much fun as being caught in a thunderstorm in your long johns." (p 84) Which, is actually, a whole of fun! Nothing like sparks and sizzles crackling the pages in an edge-of-your-seat romance!
And did I mention Tripp is a horse whisperer? Gotta love a man who cares about animals, right? Even if he's not that great at human interactions. Unless they are kids. Then he goes all soft and mushy and so did my heart every single time little Clementine was around big ol' taciturn Tripp. Some of the meltiest scenes ever!
And, yes, you may have noticed that this review is very Tripp-centric, but I've been waiting for his story the whole series so indulge me, please. I knew he'd make a great lead in his own story and I'm thrilled that he got to be the hero in the grand finale of Radcliffe's Big Heart Ranch series. (Mind you, that doesn't mean I'm thrilled that the series is over! Sob!) But the author did an amazing job of giving fans closure when it comes to all the other heroes and heroines. Yes, we knew they achieved their happily-ever-afters at the end of each book but it was exciting to get an actual glimpse of what that really looks like. So now I'm a mess of happy/sad and waxing/waning bookish bliss because this stupendous series is over and that sounds so final. Sniffle. But the author promises to head west again with her new series so I guess I just have to patiently anticipate until the first book comes out.
My thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book.

Loved the book, loved your review!
ReplyDeleteI think we need a reunion book that will include all the family from Big Heart Ranch, maybe take a trip to Paradise, Colorado! The best of both Tina worlds!
You have a brilliant mind, Tracey!!!!! I'm in for a trail ride. Especially with all those fictional heroes in tow :-)
Delete🐎🐎 all right! Let's get the trail ride started! Must alert trail boss Tina 🐎🐎
ReplyDeleteYeeyaw! Tell the trail boss Tripp and I will cover the chuckwagon -- vegetarian chili and vegan brownies our first night under the stars.
DeleteFunny thing, I just started reading this last night....stayed up way late actually! So far, I love Tripp. But I knew I would, there's way more under the surface than he lets on. Hannah and her daughter Clemmie are just the right women to get under his tough-skinned exterior right to his tender-loving cowboy heart. *Swoony sigh* I always fall for the strong silent type...
ReplyDeleteHey that's good! I should include that in my own review :-)
DeleteYep -- perfect review words right there and so true! And Tina has been teasing us with Tripp for a while now. He definitely lived up to my swoony expectations! Happy Reading, Trixi!
DeleteI tripped over the internet to this review. Glad you liked..loved...TRIPP!

DeleteI want to read this book. Sounds like a great read!
