Some people are just born to grow up to be a cowboy. Tanner Ford grew up riding bulls and busting broncos on his wealthy family’s ranch. On the rodeo circuit he made a name for himself as one of the top bull riders ever, but one bull shattered more than his body when his future as a rider is now in jeopardy. When his sister arranges for physical therapy to help him continue his dream, even the tropical island getaway isn’t enough to overcome the pain he is reminded of the day the girl he swore he would love forever…because there she was again, the best therapist money could buy.

Lauren and Tanner were young and in love, money wasn’t an issue for their future, but she wanted more than to be a cowboy’s wife, or she thought she did. When her parents gave her an offer she didn’t think she could refuse, she made a mistake and she walked out on Tanner. Now she is face to face with the man of her dreams, the one she traded to reach her own goals.

Their attraction is hotter than the tropical heat on the secluded beach, but so is the searing pain of loss and betrayal. Will they get past the demons of their youth and rekindle the inferno that rages between them?

ALL NIGHT WITH THE COWBOY by Saroya Lane is a second chance romance whose time had finally come for two souls, more mature, more self-assured and finally ready to share what happened when Lauren walked out. I enjoyed this story, even though the past was often hashed and re-hashed mentally, before Lauren finally explained herself. High angst, lots of anger and finally, some communication and of course, the passion! 

I received a complimentary ARC edition from St. Martin's Press! My review is voluntary.

I'm not a cowboy romance die-hard fan but do like to read a good cowboy romance every once in a while, so this week I picked All Night with the Cowboy by Soraya Lane. It is an entertaining first love, second chance contemporary romance but not quite what I'd expected.

Lauren is the good girl who falls for Tanner, the bad boy in high school. They're inseparable and couldn't be any more opposites. She's into her studies while Tanner is into riding his bike then bulls at the rodeo. Tanner wants to make a name for himself and stay away from the family business for as long as he can.

When Lauren blindsides him with a goodbye he doesn't expect, he swears never again to let anyone in his heart. Fast-forward a decade, and now they're facing each other again in the least imaginable way.

Tanner is engaging and his anger at Lauren is understandable. He always thought she was the one for him until she up and left, so when he sees her again he wants nothing but revenge. I liked his character a lot. Tanner is relatable. He can be harsh but has a teddy bear side that makes it impossible for you not to like him.

Lauren, on the other hand, I didn't like. Her reasons for breaking up with her were lame in my opinion. All right, so I can understand how parents can manipulate an 18-year-old and threaten them with money and other stuff. But to allow what her parents thought of her relationship with Tanner last a decade, and still have a hold on her and the decisions she makes it's almost ridiculous. In my opinion, Tanner's strong character it's what made this story work. Overall, those who enjoy cowboy romances might like this one.

Tanner sustained a serious injury bull riding. Needing rehabilitation, his sister finds him one of the best physical therapist in the pro athlete sector, Lauren Lewis…his ex-girlfriend and the woman that broke his heart.

The last thing Lauren wanted to do was walk away from Tanner, but her circumstances didn’t give her much choice. Its going to be hard being around man she never stopped loving…where Lauren doesn’t regret her life choices she made she is in no way as angry as Tanner…

I really enjoyed All Night with the Cowboy. Both, Tanner and Lauren, are likable and strong character. Their wiliness to help out in a dire circumstances shows what good people (fictional characters) they are. I can’t go into much for spoiler reasons, but I didn’t really get the entire summer thing before they broke up, it just didn’t work for me. A little repetitive, but overall, All Night with the Cowboy was an engaging and entertaining read.

Its all flirty and fun until you realize you let go the one person you will always love. 

I received this ARC copy of All Night with the Cowboy from St. Martin's Press. This is my honest and voluntary review. All Night with the Cowboy is set for publication May 29, 2018.

I received an arc from Netgalley. I enjoyed this story about a cowboy looking for a second chance with the one he loves. They had a lot of obstacles to overcome but hope and persistence made for a HEA ending. 3.5 stars

Second chances for this cowboy makes for an interesting read.  The characters and plot were engaging and just enough heat to keep you reading on.

This is second chance love between bull rider Tanner and physical therapist Lauren. After the really bad fall from the bull, Tanner needs a therapist to go back in the saddle and the best for the job is her former teenage love, Lauren. The old resentment still cause a lot of pain and at first they are a lot of bad words said but after clearing the past the old flame comes to life and they agree to have a fling until their time together ends up. Although they have strong feelings for each other are their lives so different and one of them would have to sacrifice their career. The story was ok but I didn't love it. Nor Tanner nor were for me someone to fall in love. Tanner was too hard headed and unpleasant, especially from the start. Lauren was also nothing special, I didn't understand why didn't she want to tell the reason why she left him in the past and she was hot and cold and undetermined when it came to her feelings. It was a mediocre read.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣ 
Tanner and Lauren used to be the high school golden couple. Years later life is giving them a second chance. Tanner is a professional Bull rider he is at the top of his game. In the blink of an eye, his life tumbles to a halt.

Lauren is a physiotherapist. She's always been professional with her clients. In reality, she has never found anyone who matches up to Tanner. When his sister calls and asks to help him heal an injury, Lauren has her chance to mend broken bridges.

This book has a beautiful setting, a smoking hot cowboy and some steamy scenes. It's sweet and firey. All night with the cowboy was so good I was sucked in from the start. This is my second book in the River Ranch series. 
 
I enjoyed this one more than the first but both are worth looking at. 4.5 stars out of 5.

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

All Night With a Cowboy was a second chance romance that held promise that these two could overcome past hurts and find love. 

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 in Fiji only looking for fun without commitment.  The chemistry and passion was evident throughout.    While they both wanted more they were afraid to share their feelings as they were still not over the past.

This second installment of the River Ranch Series is about a fascinating second chance romance.

Tanner is from a wealthy family, but chose his own path in bull riding instead of relying on the family fortune.

Lauren achieved her ambition of becoming a physical therapist by sacrificing what matters most to her heart.

Tanner is famous and successful on the bull riding circuit, but a major accident leaves him with severe injuries. This is not in the least a deterrent to him getting back on a bull and he'd do anything to continue on his chosen path. His sister, Mia arranges for the best therapist to help him get back on his feet and it happens to be Lauren, who broke his heart twelve years ago. He doesn't like the idea of seeing her again, but he has little choice in the matter. Besides, the rehabilitation treatment would take place on Figi Island!

Lauren is reluctant too as she doesn't know how Tanner would react as he doesn't know the reason why she walked out on him. Neither of them have really recovered from the break up of the strong bond that they shared. Can they forget the heartaches and rekindle what they once shared?

This is an intense page turner where lack of trust and fear of being hurt are at the forefront. Despite their apprehensions, it's obvious that their love is still strong. Tanner mellows once he learns the truth, but putting his heart on the line once again is another story. Lauren is dedicated to her work and she thinks that a life with Tanner would lead to disaster. It's painful watching them struggle with their feelings until eventually compromises are made to lead to the desirable conclusion. It's an emotional and captivating read which would appeal to fans of romance novels. 

I have was kindly issued with an eARC and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

4.5 stars
Tanner Ford loved bull riding. He thrived on the adrenaline rush. The fact that he made millions from it was a bonus. Not that he needed the money. He didn’t. He came from a wealthy family, who often pleaded with him to stop his foolishness. Tanner, however, liked his independence and being a self-made multi-millionaire, too much, to stop. But, when a raging bull threw him, tore his flesh and almost killed him, Tanner knew that he’d be out of commission for a while. His family was hoping that his bull riding days were over. Tanner was going to make sure that they weren’t.

 Lauren Lewis took her work as a physical therapist seriously. She was known as the best of the best and even hired by the Texas Rangers. She was also the woman who broke Tanner’s heart in high school. So when Tanner heard that his sister had set him up to be treated by Lauren Lewis, Tanner was livid. The last thing he wanted to do was to spend time with the woman who had once dumped him. But, Tanner wanted to resume his career, more than he wanted to protect his pride. So he conceded.

Lauren was just heading out for a much-needed tropical island vacation when she received a call from Tanner’s sister, Mia.  Although Lauren hated the thought of working during her vacation, it was Tanner who needed her help. Mia told Lauren that she’d upgrade her vacation accommodations and fly her out on a private jet if Tanner could accompany her. How could Lauren say no to that?

Lauren had convinced herself that she’d be able to keep her relationship with Tanner purely professional. She was wrong. Tanner did his best to keep Lauren out of his heart. But, somethings are just impossible. 

This was a captivating sweet romance. All Night With The Cowboy is a well-written story about second chances. Even though there weren’t any real surprises in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you, St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley, for my advanced review copy.

A fabulous cowboy romance by Soraya Lane. I enjoyed All Night with the Cowboy, the characters interaction was amazing and the well written story made for an all over fantastic read. I would recommend this book

Gifted read by Netgalley for an honest review.
An ok read just not great. Both Tanner and Lauren are immature and lack communication skills! Second chance romance but because of leads it just didn't keep me interested. I am not a fan of acting immature while being an adult. Anyone who has ever been in love, true love, would never ever put a job before the one they love ! Sadly in this book, both did! I kept picturing both leads at different points pouting and stomping their feet!

I have a soft spot for cowboys and also for strong women. This book has both! Yay! So needless to say, I really enjoyed this one. Both Tanner and Lauren are ambitious and set on making their own future. Tanner, son of the Ford dynasty, had an easy life ahead of him as the heir of the family fortune. However, he wanted to make his own name in history by riding bulls and busting broncos, and being the number one. When he gets injured, his sole focus is to get back in shape en restart his career.

Lauren is a top physical therapist, who has sacrificed a lot to become one of the top therapists in the country. When she is asked to help Tanner get back in shape, she reluctantly agrees to help him. She still feels her walking away from Tanner twelve years ago as her biggest mistake.

Thrown together, the chemistry between them is still as strong as ever. But the reasons for their break up are still smouldering. Can they resist the attraction or will they be burnt like all those years ago?

Find out for yourself in All Night With the Cowboy. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

All Night With the Cowboy by Soraya Lane is a second chance at love romance between former high school sweethearts. This latest addition to the River Ranch series can easily be read as a standalone.

 Billionaire bull rider Tanner Ford is seriously injured in the arena and he is going to need intense physical therapy to help him recover in order to resume his career. He has resisted all efforts from his family to hang up his spurs so he will do just about anything to continue participating in the sport he loves. However, Tanner is not at all happy to discover that his sister has just hired his former high school girlfriend as his physical therapist.

 Lauren Lewis gave up the only man she ever loved to ensure she received the best college education her parents could buy. She has worked hard to make sure her reputation as physical therapist for the Texas Rangers is impeccable so she makes it clear to Tanner there will be no hanky-panky between them.  The two soon jet off to Fiji for a working vacation where the romantic island soon has Lauren rethinking her stance on maintaining a professional distance from the only man she ever has ever loved.

 Neither Lauren nor Tanner ever really recovered from their broken hearts so their initial encounters are prickly with lots of animosity especially from Tanner. He never quite understood why she broke things off with him and he has never been involved in another serious relationship. Although Lauren knows she made the right choice, she does have a few regrets about how she handled the end of their romance. Like Tanner, she has steered clear of emotional entanglements since their split and she has intention of doing anything to jeopardize her carefully cultivated reputation in sports medicine.

 However, Lauren quickly changes her mind about not acting on the still sizzling hot attraction between her and Tanner. Their no strings fling has a short shelf life since their new mantra is “what happens in Fiji stays in Fiji” but will they be able to forget about one another again after they return to their regular lives? Will the memories of their painful breakup continue to serve as a cautionary tale for a real reunion between them?

 All Night With the Cowboy by Soraya Lane is a well-written but somewhat insipid romance that has few surprises. Tanner is ridiculously stubborn and his continued resentment towards Lauren becomes tiresome. Lauren’s reasons for their initial break up are a bit weak and once they are on Fiji, she abandons her principles at an astonishing speed.  Their renewed relationship feels superficial and it stretches the bonds of credibility to believe they are still in love given the passage of time and Tanner’s simmering anger towards Lauren for breaking his heart. Readers might feel hard-pressed to feel much sympathy for Lauren’s claim she is heartbroken over their break up since it was her decision to end things with him.  All of their lingering issues are wrapped up fairly quickly and this second installment in the River Ranch series comes to a sweetly romantic conclusion.

Great easy read. Very detailed and the feelings really came off the pages.  Found it difficult to put down in places.

We head back to Texas and the Ford family in this River Ranch novel from Soraya Lane.

Tanner, a championship bullrider, has unfortunately been injured during competition and needs the services of a physical therapist.

Lauren Lewis has a solid reputation in the field of sports therapy and is just what Tanner needs BUT Lauren and Tanner were high school sweethearts and she ripped out his heart!

Decisions have to be made though and Tanner needs to get back in the bull ring! So reluctantly, Tanner agrees to employ Lauren to help him get back in shape. 

Between misunderstandings and things left unsaid, Tanner and Lauren are pretty much the typical exes.

What they never got wrong however, was their physical relationship and they decide to re-visit it whilst they work on getting Tanner back to full fitness.

As a second chance romance Tanner and Lauren tick all the right boxes. Hurt feelings and misconceptions have to be sorted out before their HEA can be within reach.

The story that is weaved in order to get them there is, at times, sad as well as funny and even downright frustrating but be reassured Soraya Lane gets there with style.

With further introduction to the other Ford siblings, we are only left wondering who will be next in the River Ranch saga. I, for one, am looking forward to it!

Love second chance romances and this is another awesome one by Soroya! It is fun and sexy and the chemistry between Lauren and Tanner is off the charts even though so many years have gone by since they were together. This is one of my favorite romance tropes and Soroya does it so well in this very enjoyable story.

The premise of needing the old flame to rehab and continue with life was a good one, but the method this story used for that with the island vacation was a little ridiculous. Fun read though.

All night with the Cowboy was a fun flirty read that put a big ole grin on my face. Get ready to giddy up, this Cowboy is one you don't want to miss. Lauren and Tanner were high-school sweethearts which sadly ended in heartbreak. They could never move on from their first and utter heartbreak. And fate seemed to want these two back together for good. 

One injury, will change everything! 
A romance once lost and burned turns swiftly rekindled. 

I am looking forward to reading more from Soraya Lane.

This book was a wonderfully enjoyable, won’t let you go story. This is one of those books that I just couldn’t put down until I finished it......literally.  The story is angsty with past love, past hurts & present needs. The story of a second chance at first love, when PBR champion Tanner takes a life threatening fall from a bull & is in need of physical therapy to help him recover from his many injuries, his sister finds him the best professional athlete physical therapist around, Lauren.......the girl who broke his heart twelve yrs ago. The characters are strong willed & soft of heart with a major dose hot & sexy. The battle to keep their hearts safe is real because twelve yrs hasn’t stopped either of them from still loving each other. Throw in a private beach house, a private island picnic & a terrifying tropical storm & you’ve got the makings of a sexy love story. Definitely enjoyed this book & can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Definitely recommend.
