Tempting the Rancher
Leslie North
(Meier Ranch Brothers, #1)
Publication date: April 26th 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Texas rancher Nathaniel Meier always puts his responsibilities first. With his father dead, his brothers away, and his mother off “finding herself,” it’s Nat who runs their sprawling ranch. But with cattle to sell and the bank breathing down his neck, he needs all the help he can get, even when that help comes from the last person he ever expected to see again—his childhood sweetheart January Rose.
Free-spirited January always dreamed of traveling the world. The moment she turned eighteen, she left Close Call, Texas behind and barely looked back. So now that she’s home, she intends to stay only long enough to earn some cash and get back on the road. But when she comes face to face with Nat Meier, she quickly realizes the boy she left behind is now all man.
Even for a nomad like January, wanderlust sometimes gets lonely, and Nat is the one person who’s called to her, even after a decade apart. But for a man ruled by responsibility and a woman whose suitcase is her home, the future is uncertain. And the closer they get, the more Nat worries he’s going to get burned…again.

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

 

If you like hot contemporary romance novels then you so so have give this author a try. I fell in love with some of her previous trilogies and this one lived up to all of my expectations. We get to meet Nat who runs the family ranch though it is on shaky financial ground. Enter January the love that got away who just thinks she is only back home temporarily. I like the emotional depths that are involved and the fact that these are dealt with instead of ignored. The romance follows a nice progression without being a set formula layout. Of course the steamy scenes are quite hot as well. I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars and will be looking forward to book two.
