Tanner Ford has been riding bulls and busting broncos his entire life. So when he takes a hard spill and sustains serious injuries he refuses to believe his rodeo days are behind him. He’s determined to restore his body and revive his career. There’s just one problem: the finest physical therapist in town just happens to be the only woman he’s ever loved. Lauren Lewis knows she made a huge mistake when she walked away from Tanner. But she was young, ambitious, and focused on her medical career. 
I don’t often read cowboy stories but I was interested in the blurb about this book & I wasn’t disappointed. A page turning read of second chances. The characters are well developed & likeable, their chemistry is very good. I liked that they helped each other & because of this found their previous break up difficult to follow. However if they had stayed together I’d have been denied this enjoyable read. The pace of the story is also well paced & I read into the early hours to finish it. I

Generally I'm not a huge fan of second chance romances but I'm a sucker for a broken  bull rider needless to say I was excited to read All Night With a Cowboy.   
 
The author brought these once emotionally damaged youths together as adults to heal and rekindle their relationship.  

Tanner is your typical bull rider. He's tough, determined and stubborn. He also has the ability to hold a grudge. Tanner found his first and only love Lauren in high school and has never forgetting  how she to tore his heart out.   

Whether it was right or wrong, Lauren was made to choose between Tanner and school. She's had a successful career as a physical therapist but has always wondered what might have been if she choose love.  

The pair is brought together in paradise where they are healing both physically and emotionally. I found the beginning to be repetitive but in hindsight it helped the reader get into their mindset.  

Their time together wasn't easy but they managed to ease into a friendship on Fiji. Both only looking for fun without commitment.  The chemistry and passion was evident throughout the book. While they both wanted more once they returned home, they were afraid to share their feelings as they were still not over the past.   

The last few chapters were so sweet especially Tanner. It  cemented my like for the book as this couple finally put each other first.

It seems like lately I have been reading a bunch of second chance romances and All Night with the Cowboy was no exception. Tanner Ford and Lauren Lewis have a tumultuous past, one that neither of them has managed to forget. They had started dating in high school, with Tanner being the stereotypical bad boy rebel and Lauren being the innocent girl next door type. Everyone thought they were going to be together forever, especially Tanner. So, imagine his surprise when Lauren just up and left him with no real explanation as to why. He was devastated and had no idea why she ended things so abruptly.

Tanner’s devastation morphed into anger and then into hatred. He hated Lauren and he used that hatred as fuel to keep all women at a distance for over a decade. During that decade, Tanner spent his time doing what he loved which was being a professional bull rider. His luck must have run out though because Tanner was horribly injured by a bull and was lucky that he even survived. Tanner’s sister Mia knew that if Tanner was going to get back to bull riding, which was his deepest desire, he was going to need the best physical therapist around. Unfortunately, the best PT in town was none other than Tanner’s ex.

Lauren had her regrets when it came to Tanner but she had moved on with her life to the best of her ability. When Mia had contacted her about Tanner, Lauren was against being his physical therapist. She had a long-awaited vacation that she had already paid for and she was going to take it. Mia had to sweeten the deal and Lauren finally agreed to help him but when Tanner found out he absolutely refused. He hated Lauren but when he did his research he found that she truly was the best PT around. If he wanted to get back to what he loved doing he was going to have to find a way to stand being around Lauren. What neither Lauren or Tanner ever expected was that even after a decade their attraction would be sizzling but would that be enough to work through their issues in order to give them another chance at love?

I liked Tanner’s character from the prequel, Cowboy Stole My Heart, and was intrigued to find out the reason why he kept women at arm’s length. There was a lot of tension at the start of All Night with the Cowboy because Tanner was angry and Lauren felt bad. I liked that even though Lauren was conflicted about Tanner that she was professional about everything. Tanner was a bit of a jerk but I liked that he wasn’t unreasonable. He tried real hard to make the best of a bad situation and it wasn’t too long before he realized that he was pretty immature and needed to get over some things. It was nice to see these characters work through their own issues and it made the romance very sweet and believable.

*Thank you to NetGalley & St. Martin’s Press for this eARC of All Night with the Cowboy*

This review is based on a complimentary book I received from NetGalley. It is an honest and voluntary review. The complimentary receipt of it in no way affected my review or rating.

Second chance romance is one of my favorite troupes. This one does not disappoint in the love hate emotions that run through this book. 
Tate Ford and Lauren Lewis had a youthful romance that they thought would last a lifetime then Lauren’s parents gave her an ultimatum, give up Tate, the reckless motorcycle riding, drinking bull rider or they would not pay for her college. 
Tanner is one of the winningest bull riders there is. While riding in the World Finals he’s terribly hurt, his sister convinces him he needs a therapist if he ever want to regain the championship. She’s set it all up for him, several weeks on a beautiful tropical island with the best therapist there is Laurann Lewis the girl he hates, the one that broke his heart. 
Lauren has worked hard to make her career what it is, no flirting and no dating her clients. She works long hours with very little time off she will enjoy this vacation to its most and if it gets upgraded so she can help Tanner Lewis then so be it. She only hopes she hasn’t made a mistake, the last time she’d seen Tanner it nearly killed her to leave him. 
The chemistry between them is electric, Lauren ignores,it because she knows he will never for give her for breaking his heart. Tanner is being a jerk to cover for his confusion over his feelings for Lauren, as they say there’s a fine line between love and hate. 
One kiss changed everything. They struck up a deal, a sexual relationship while they are on the island. Lauren’s in control during the day with Tanner’s rehab and Tanner is in control when the sun goes down and the sexy times begin. It all made so much sense in the beginning but heartache and Year’s apart didn’t seem to kill the love they had for each other but forgiveness and trust my be what gets in their way. 
I enjoyed this book and I loved lauren and Tanner the problem I had is it didn’t hold my attention until halfway through.

As much as I enjoyed book one of this series, this one just didn’t do it for me. Injured bull rider Tanner Ford and physical therapist Lauren Lewis were a tad immature for being 30 years old.
These two were HS sweethearts, but due to pressures, Lauren broke up with Tanner without explanations, leaving him heartbroken .
Twelve years later he needs to recover from a fall and his sister , Mia, hires Lauren.
It’s a story about second chances, but I never felt engaged in the plot nor with the characters. Due to respect to the author , I will give it a 3 star.
I was entrusted this copy by Netgalley and jSt Martins Press.

Contemporary Romance

 

Texas and Fiji – Present Day

 

Pro rodeo star Tanner Ford and sports physical therapist Lauren Lewis were teen sweethearts but it ended when she chose college over him. They went their separate ways and tried to forget each other—until their paths cross again after Tanner sustains an injury while competing in a rodeo. Lauren is a topnotch therapist, and his family sets it up that Tanner accompanies her on her planned vacation to Fiji, where she’ll treat him in between her touristy stuff. They could keep it impersonal but, instead, they rekindle the flames that never really died between them.

 

Tanner still carries resentment when Lauren broke off their romance back when they were eighteen. Sure, he was a bad boy (and still is) with plans to participate in the rodeo circuit, but what kind of future could he have offered Lauren? Her parents gave her a choice: break it off with Tanner and they’ll pay for her college. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t have had a chance of getting that degree she had always dreamed of. Her heart still aches for what she had to do, but it was the right decision for her.

 

The sizzling awareness is still there between Tanner and Lauren, and then add in the romantic atmosphere of Fiji; it’s no wonder things soon turn hot and heavy, leading to some bedroom gymnastics. A little vacation fling might be just what the doctor would order for both of them. Once their trip is over, will they go their separate ways? But their feelings for each other still run deep. How can they walk away from each other again?

 

ALL NIGHT WITH THE COWBOY is part of the River Ranch series, and readers catch glimpses of Mia and Sam from COWBOY STOLE MY HEART, but this tale is all about Tanner and Lauren. Readers who love a reunited lovers romance will settle in quite nicely reading ALL NIGHT WITH THE COWBOY. While their past is connected, they have changed since they were teen lovers. Will the changes allow them to forge a future together?

 

Tanner is a sexy, handsome cowboy that readers will surely love and, in ALL NIGHT WITH THE COWBOY, he begins to realize that Lauren is the woman who understands him the best. Will they be able to work out their problems and find a way to a happily-ever-after together? Find out the answer in the enjoyable ALL NIGHT WITH THE COWBOY.

Tanner gets hurt doing what he loves and this time it seems his family wants him to retire but his sister sets everyone straight by booking a Physical therapist. Only the jokes on him and it seems the past has come back to haunt him. Lauren is set to spend her 30th birthday alone in Fuji. She's set to go when a Mia reaches out and ask for help and she agrees under on condition. Can her and Tanner enjoy the beautiful island of Fuji and get Tanner back to the bulls or will it all be to much for both of them?
I was not a huge fan of this book the relationship between Tanner and Lauren seemed forced. I really did enjoy Lauren and her sweet independent nature and how she could hold her own. I felt like Tanner's main goal was to get even no matter what he seemed almost hostile sometimes. I really could not stand him. There was strong adult language and scenes through-out. I felt like the book would have been way better without all the cursing. I found it a total turn off and hard to get into the story. Overall not the book for me.

In All Night with the Cowboy by Soraya Lane, two high school sweethearts get a second chance at love. 

Tanner Ford is a bull rider. He loves thrill and has no intentions of slowing down. When a bull gets the best of him and almost ends his life, Tanner must take the time to slow down and heal. In order to heal quickly and revive his career, he’ll need the best physical therapist to work on him. Too bad the best in town is the woman who broke his heart 12 years ago. 

Lauren Lewis is one of the best physical therapists in town. She’s young, dedicated, and gets the job done. It’s been 12 years since she ended her relationship with Tanner but she knows she can get Tanner back in shape…as long as they ignore the blazing attraction that’s sizzling between them. Easier said than done. After all, Lauren and Tanner have a history and it’s bittersweet. 

Tanner holds a big grudge against Lauren. She did break his heart and all. But it won’t take long before they are blurring lines and rekindling the old flame. Tanner and Lauren are hot together. The connection between the two was obviously still there and the author made the character’s work for their happy ending. Overall, an engaging read. For those who love second chances and cowboys, this is for you!

Tanner may come from family with more money than sense but he wants to make his own fame and fortune.  Turning his back on the family business he becomes a renowned Bull Rider.  But after a decade of success, he takes a fall and needs some physical therapy to get back in the saddle.

But his family get sneaky when it comes to getting him into therapy that he wants to avoid.  His ex, Lauren is now a trained therapist but can she put her still simmering feelings for Tanner aside and treat him as just any other patient?

Fiji isn't the typical location that comes to mind when thinking of suitable places to rehabilitate a Rodeo performer but hey, its pretty, peaceful and powerfully relaxing.  There is plenty of passion and a few wrong turns for the former young loves.  Great read.

Second chance romance, cowboys, and Fiji!  Don't judge Lauren for the choice she made when her parents pushed her into a decision.  Now she's back with Tanner, but from a different position.  She's his physical therapist after he's severely injured by a bull he was riding.  These two have a history but it's a history as kids and they're grown ups now so they have things to work through.  The dialogue is good, the characters people you'd like to meet, and wow- Fiji!  Although you might think this will be set on a ranch, the best parts are on that island.  Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.  Perfect escapist HEA and I'm looking forward to more in this series.

This is book 2 in the River Ranch series. This one is about Tanner Ford and Lauren Lewis. Tanner is the brother of Mia from book 1. He rides bulls for a living with the rodeo circuit and has made a name for himself doing it. On his last ride though, it goes horribly wrong and he gets hurt. To the point that he needs physical therapy in order to heal correctly, especially if he wants to go back to his career. Lauren was his high school sweetheart and is also one the best physical therapists in the state. They haven't spoken since she broke things off with him when they were still kids. And there is so much history between them, both good and bad, that it makes it hard for them to work together to heal his body. 

This book was sooo much better than the 1st one in my opinion! I could relate to the characters so much more and even though they have a lot of issues between them, it just made it that much easier for me to get into. I fully understand Lauren feeling like she didn't have a choice when she was still a teen. She was pushed into a corner and made the best decision she could, even knowing that she was losing the one person she loved more than anyone else. Tanner has never understood exactly what happened. And he is bitter over and doesn't want to trust anyone else with his heart again. Which is understandable. And yet, once he finds out what truly happened and he works through how much that hurt him? He steps up and fights for what he has always wanted! I loved them together. This one I couldn't put down once I started and it left me wanting more of their life together once they worked everything out. Definitely a great read!

I loved the second book in the River Ranch series.  Loved the back story, the characters, the conflict, the cameo of Ryder King from The Devil Wears Spurs, and the whole storyline was great.  Twelve years ago she walked away from the man she loved because her parents gave her an ultimatum, him or college.  He has never forgiven her for walking away without an explanation, and he never wanted to see the girl who broke his heart again, but when he takes a catastrophic spill while riding a bull, she is the only PT that has a chance at getting him back into bull riding shape.  There is only one problem, she has planned a vacation that is years over do and she will only work with him if he is willing to go with her.  She knows it is a mistake, but when she finds out the extent of his injuries she can’t say no. So off to Fiji for an extended stay and rehabilitation with the only man she has ever loved and who now hates her.  Their chemistry was great, the emotional tension added to the conflict, and their story was both entertaining and enjoyable.  Loved every second of it and didn’t want it to end. The author is quickly becoming a favorite. Her characters are strong and dynamic. Her story lines are entertaining and engaging and they are just fun to read.

It's the PBR(Professional Bull Riders) World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year's champion Tanner Ford is about to slide down in the shute on the bull he was assigned. He was glad he got to ride Thunder Cat; the ranker the bull the better the chance for a high score and a repeat of the championship. Too bad Thunder Cat is about to spoil that dream. It's a five second ride and throwing Tanner off is not good enough for this bull.. After Thunder Cat bucks him off he stomps on him and gores him. Tanner is now a really beat-up, glad-to-be-alive mess.

Shortly thereafter Tanner is well enough to go home for Thanksgiving. He needs PT really badly. Enter Lauren Lewis, Tanner's ex-girlfriend and the best sports Physical Therapist around. It's twelve years after their break-up. Hearts were broken. Can Tanner accept spending time with Lauren who he is assured will get him back in shape to return to bull riding? 

This is a second-chance love story. I was pulling for Tanner all the way. I didn't quite connect with the heroine, Lauren. The author didn't quite get me to feel as much sympathy for Lauren as I did for Tanner over the big break-up. She did a good job of making these characters three dimensional but I had trouble getting to like Lauren. The author also spelled out the conflict well, but I found that maybe there was a little too much conflict. The resolution to the conflict finally pulled me in so I did enjoy the HEA in this story. It was also fun to see characters from the first book in this River Rance series like Tanner's sister, Mia and her husband, Sam again.

First, let me say that I do not like the cover.  In my head, Tanner does not look like that guy.  He looks much better.

Anyway, Tanner is a rodeo star who needs to retire.  He will not, because he loves the adrenaline rush.  A horrible accident leaves him in the hands of a physical therapist who happens to be his high school sweet heart.  Can they reignite their love?

All Night With the Cowboy is a great book.  There are ups and downs, twists and turns.  The characters are lovable--even when they are being jerks.  The ending is super sweet.  I recommend this.

Another sweet and sexy River Ranch story from Soraya Lane.  This time, Tanner Ford, the bull riding son of the Ford dynasty, has been seriously injured, and needs physical therapy.  He gets some serious physical attention from his high school squeeze, now professional trainer and physical therapist, on a two week vacation in Fiji.  To call this escapist fiction is to understate the case.  Rich, handsome man, vacation in Fiji, sparks flying.  What more could you ask?

Wow, I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I did.  I felt like it had a lot of potential but just didn't do it for me.  

Yes both of the main characters had an interesting past together. Yes, there were also some interesting secondary people. Yes, it was emotional.  Yes, they both had unusual interesting careers.  But it wasn't something that really kept me all that interested after a while. 
It just felt so predictable in so many ways.  

I will be leaving this same review on Amazon when this book becomes open to reviews.

This book is about Tanner and Lauren who were inseparable in high school.  Then Lauren breaks it off with Tanner never explaining why leaving him broken-hearted.  Fast forward to now, Tanner is a famous bull rider and she is a highly recommended physiotherapist.  Tanner sister Mia hires her to help him recover from a very bad accident during a bull ride.  This is a second chance romance were two people have to learn to work together.  Can Tanner find it in his heart to forgive the only one he has ever loved.  Can Lauren explain why she did what she did and how it devastated her equally as much.  This was a fantastic story about two wounded hearts trying to make peace with their past to finally move on and just maybe find a HEA.     I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from St Martin Press via Netgalley

All Night with the Cowboy by Soraya Lane is the second book in the contemporary romance River Ranch series. With a new couple as the main characters in All Night with the Cowboy it is not necessary to have read the first book of the series to understand this second chance romance as it reads fine all on it’s own.

Tanner Ford comes from a wealthy family but against all their advice and wishes he became a bull rider and has succeeded wildly at the sport for the last decade. Tanner however has just had his first serious accident of his career and needs help with getting back into action so his sister takes it upon herself to set up an appointment with a physical therapist who just happens to be Tanner’s ex-girlfriend.

Lauren Lewis had walked away from Tanner still very much in love with him breaking both of their young hearts. She’s spent the last decade studying and becoming the best physical therapist out there and hopes that after all these years she and Tanner can put the past behind them for the sake of his career so she reluctantly agreed to accompany Tanner to Fiji and help with his therapy.

What can I honestly say about this one? Take a hot cowboy and a second chance for a couple who had been very much in love and put them in a tropical setting and I was more than entertained by the magic on the pages. The story was oozing in passion as these two reconnected and hashed out their old differences making for one steamy and passionate tale that was a great addition to the River Ranch series.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

This book is kinda bland and predictable. I was so looking forward to this great Fiji vacation time but it was really them spending the time working on rehab or talking about he past over and over and over again in this book. I was kinda board while reading this and by chapter 16 I was skimming just to get to the end. The situation was predictable and the characters were in their heads to much, not enough living in the moment us a lot of over thinking and over analyzing everything.

This is one of those stories that pulls you in from the beginning and just won't let you go.  It is filled with old hurts, plenty of angst, and a second chance at love.  I loved both Tanner and Lauren, they were very likable characters and both very strong willed.  I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
