About this eBook

Book #2 of Hot Cowboy Nights

Two wounded hearts...

Janice Combes has two loves: bucking bulls and Dirk Knowlton. But Dirk only has eyes for a dazzling rodeo queen. How can Janice ever compete while mired ankle-deep in manure? Exchanging playful banter with Dirk is all Janice can expect—until the stormy night he knocks on her door dripping wet and needing a place to crash.

Daring to dream again...

Dirk Knowlton is living the cowboy dream. Life should be good—roping, branding, bucking broncs, riding bulls—but there's a void he can't seem to fill. After getting hung up by a bull, he wonders if this is really the life he wants. Restless and rebellious, he joins the Marines determined to prove himself...but there's a certain cowgirl he can't forget.

When a battle-scarred Dirk returns to his Montana ranch he finds Janice has come back home to lick her own wounds. When old dreams have turned to dust, can two wary hearts take another chance on love?

This novel is absolutely unforgettable. Vane grabbed my attention with the fast paced, realistic story, and kept me hooked throughout. Her eloquent yet raw and real writing allows readers to really connect with the tale. Action and emotion take centre stage in this novel. Vane brings rodeo to life, while at the same time telling a compelling take that will have you in stitches and in tears. I will admit that I did wonder what exactly happened with Rachel & Wade. You get the basic gist of it, but it’s not spelled out for you. The main characters in this novel definitely make the story. Not only are they well developed, complex characters, but the ordeals that they’ve lived through pull at your heart. I absolutely loved getting to know them both, and thoroughly enjoyed them as individuals. Their relationship was also fantastic. It wasn’t easy, nor was it a sure thing, but it was oh so very real. The passion and real love, as well as the heartache and the doubt all shine through. The twang in the dialogue between the characters is also fantastic. It really brings these characters to life. It was like I could really hear them speaking.
