Thanks to Netgalley & St. Martins press for this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ty has been through a lot over the past year or so, including being thrown off of a bull so hard that he lost the last two years of his life... including any recollection of former Rodeo Queen, Hannah. And boy, does she have a surprise for him!

I thought this was a sweet & easy to read story, with a few predicable “twists” thrown in - a good summer read! I recommend reading the first book in the series “A True Cowboy Christmas” as it provides background and leads up to this story well.

The Cold River Ranch stories revolve around three brothers, who even in their adult lives, are still suffering from the effects of their father’s cruelty and alcoholism while they were children.
This time, the story belongs to the middle brother. Ty Everett , a rodeo bull rider who was badly injured . He survived the injury but what nobody knows is that he lost 2 years of his memory.
Hannah Monroe, former rodeo queen, met and fell in love with Ty.
Their last meeting devastated her and now she’s come to the ranch to ask for a divorce, while not telling Ty he’s a father.
I have to confess that until the last 15-20% of the book, I had trouble engaging in the story. The internal conversations these two had for most of the book, was exhausting and at times the story flat-lined for me. And yes, I found myself skipping some pages.
That said, I loved the author’s comment , “Life is a risk…love is a risk. Everything that’s worth anything in this life is a risk”. So very true.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley and St Martin’s. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

This is Book 2 in the series. Although Amos, the drunkard, cruel patriarch is dead and buried, he still casts a huge shadow over the family. No family member makes it through untouched.

Ty is the middle son in the Everett clan. He needs to make it as far away as possible staying clear of the father who is impossible...until he's injured and Amos dies.

This story shows the results of one brother is pitted against another. These characters are all hard and strong. The HEA is hard-earned. The story of how that's achieved is very entertaining.....make's a reader anxious for the next installment.

This book was gifted to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is the second stand alone in the Cold River Ranch series by Cailtin Crews. I was really excited for bull rider Ty Everett's story and didn't disappoint.

A bad bull riding fall left Ty Everett missing a good two years of his life thanks to amnesia, so he is completely in the dark when Hannah Monroe shows up on his farm looking for him. He feels an instant connection with her and wants her to fill in the blanks his memory is missing. Hannah drops the bomb that she's his wife but leaves out the fact they he has a son. Now the have a second chance but when all secrets are out in the open, Ty's fear of being no good like his own father will over shadow everything.

Ty and Hannah are both great characters but I felt like she out shined him in the story. She was strong, sassy and kindhearted. She held on to hope when all hope seemed to be lost. She felt like she had given up on Ty too easily but I didn't see it that way. Ty was so darn stubborn and adamant that he was just as bad as his rotten father and no one could get it into his thick skull that we choose who we are with every decision we make. Together, their interactions were sweet, and for the most part they were honest with each other. Hannah had every right to keep their son a secret until she knew she could trust him.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy, Hannah and Ty's love story, left me with a big smile on my face. It was a pleasant second chance cowboy romance that left me eager for the next brother's book.

Great romance! This is the second in a series. I didn't realize that before I started but I wasn't confused reading it. I would like to read the first one though. Funny dialogue and quick read. I enjoyed it!

This book will give you all the feels. I laughed, I cried. Not your typical cowboy book. Two thumbs way up.

If you live your life in the past, you can't begin to have a future. This statement rings true for Ty Everett and Hannah Monroe. Ty Everett is a bull rider who likes to flirt and play the field. Hannah Monroe is the Rodeo Queen, who a model of good behavior and comportment. They usually have chaperones throughout their time as Rodeo Queen. There was a spark between them that just wouldn't go away. But Ty's family life from growing up put him in the camp of never getting married and never having children. Hannah's life growing up put her in the camp that she wasn't sleeping with any man till they got married and was planning to have children. Life doesn't always go as planned. Will they each have the courage to leave everything in the past and move forward together?

Not going to lie - I forgot most of what happened in the first book until I started reading Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy. That's nothing to do with the book though, that's all to do with my terrible bookzheimers.

I was really looking forward to Ty and Hannah's story, I mean cowboys, amnesia, secret babies, it should have really been a hit for me.

Unfortunately it fell flat for me. And I think mostly it was because of our leading lady Hannah. OMG, the number of times I yelled at my Kindle about her as I was reading. I kept yelling "just freaking tell him" so many times. Ugh, I could kind of understand her thinking, but gees how wrong could she be at times.

Ty was an ar$e, but also completely understandable in the circumstances, so I guess he is more forgivable lol

This story also felt a bit all over the place, a bit jumpy. But this could also just be me.

I did like getting back to the ranch, getting to see where Gray and Abby were in their lives, and now I need to meet the woman (or man) who brings Brady to his knees.

Ty and Hannah were each other’s oasis in a world of chaos. Both dealing with parents with difficult expectations and emotional blackmail. Life brought them together at the rodeo but it also pushed them apart after a near fatal incident for Ty with a bull. Ty returns home to Cold River Ranch, the last place he wants to be but he has to heal and deal with his memory loss of the last 2 years. When sexy Hannah shows up at the ranch, it’s first time he has truly felt anything since the accident but he doesn’t know why this woman draws him in. Hannah knows she needs to face Ty and get a divorce but she never expects to learn that her husband doesn’t remember her. Does she put it all on the line and hope he will find those memories and their love again? Or should she cut her losses and move on? Hannah’s strength and determination give Ty something to lean on as he lives with uncertainty in his mind. The love they share is strong and experiencing the struggles for both of them as they navigate these turbulent waters was inspiring. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

I was immediately pulled in by the premise of this book. Hannah tracks down Ty. To ask for a divorce? Force him to acknowledge their child? She’s not really sure. But it becomes obvious pretty quickly that there’s a problem. He doesn’t remember her! Soon sparks are flying and neither one of them is sure what they want. But they might have some fun figuring it out.
I felt there was a little too much introspection. A lot of both Hannah and Ty in their own heads. I picture two people talking and one stares at the other dumbly while they have a conversation in their head. The story really didn’t need all that. That’s why I gave it 4 stars. It was a little drawn out but the ending was stellar.

ARC provided by NetGalley and St. Martins Press in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.
Ty and Hannah have a story to tell, Ty loses his memory and cannot even remember his wife or their last 2 years together. An emotional story as these two find their way back to each other, having to overcome the amnesia as well as some other trials and demons from their pasts. Up for an emotional Happily Ever After? This is a great read for you.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is the second story in this series by Caitlin Crews. This is Ty and Hannah’s story. Again, setting in the beautiful fictional town of Cold River, Colorado. Such a beautiful setting. Like the first book I feel that character development could have been a lot deeper without so much of the story being told from within their heads. I prefer more direct dialog between the characters.

Ty is a professional bull rider recovering from a very bad bull riding injury which leaves him without his memory. Hannah is a former rodeo queen who had met during their rodeo circuit days. Hannah shows up at the ranch unannounced to inform Ty that they are married. As they learn each other again Hannah is still keeping a very big secret from Ty. While is keeping his memory loss problems from his family.

After a couple of weeks, Hannah is feeling guilty about not telling Ty the whole truth. Will Ty get his memory back, will Hannah reveal her secret, and will Ty and Hannah finally give themselves permission to fight for what they want in life? This book has so much potential. Overall, I did like the book and found myself routing for Hannah and Ty to wake up and find their way back to each other to create their forever family that they both deeply desire. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review of 4 stars.

I must admit I have mixed feelings on this book. While I enjoyed the premise of this book, I must say I was disappointed with how long it took Hannah to finally tell Ty all of their story. In fact, it wasn't even Hannah that revealed the full truth but her mother. This book relied heavily on the inner dialog of the two main characters and yet neither Ty nor Hannah would ever express their feelings out loud. It took other family members to ultimately bring them together which to me makes me question their relationship. This is the second book in the series, but it can easily be read as a stand alone novel.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy (Cold River Ranch, #2) by Caitlin Crews ... I enjoyed this and would give it 4 1/2 stars.. thanks to the publisher and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. This is Ty (broken Rodeo star ) Hannah ( ex Rodeo Queen) he returns to Cold River Ranch to heal ...she goes there to confront him...will she tell him she is his wife and they have a son..or will she ask for a divorce. This is a heart wrenching story will lots of angst, a few laughs, lot of tears and getting a look back at Brady and Gray and Abby's life ...all to get us to a HEA. Looking forward to THE LAST REAL COWBOY Brady and Amanda's story.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Great world building Romantic Informative Easy-to-read Unpredictable Page-turner Happily Ever AfterS teamy Tear-jerker Wonderful characters

The second book in the Cold River Ranch, Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is a good, romantic read. I enjoyed the story but did find the inner dialogue overdone and frustrating at times. Hannah and Ty are well suited and over all the story sweet and romantic. I look forward to reading more and would recommend

4.5 Stars

The first book in the Cold River Ranch series (A True Cowboy Christmas) was one of my favorite romance stories from 2018. I couldn't wait to move onto this second book in the series featuring middle brother Brady as the focus. What we saw of him as introduced in book one had not prepared me for what brought him back to Cold River and what he left behind.

I'm a new reader to Caitlin Crews with A True Cowboy Christmas being my very first book from this author, but I'm quickly becoming a fan. Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy was full of the same quality writing, story development, and fabulous characters as the first book. The characterizations amazed me. I already knew I liked Brady, but as described, I wasn't sure Hannah would be a character I connected with. Crews managed to describe a heroine who at all appearances would seem superficial and shallow, but instead erased those preconceived ideas. Their romance was unique, tender, and hopeful. Along with that, we get glimpses of series favorites Gray and Abby. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend my time than another wonderful story by this author.

This book was incredibly frustrating but in a good way. My absolute frustrations with the characters had me pretty thoroughly invested in them at times yelling at the book about what they needed to do and I really wanted to smack some sense into both of them. Both wounded from difficult pasts they weren’t quite capable of managing their feelings about each other and as readers you were along for the ride while they figured it out.

I loved the depth of the characters and the pain you could almost feel radiating from the pages. As some other reviewers have mentioned there is a lot of pages covering the goings on in the character’s mind. While maybe it could go with a little less of this I don’t think it was too bad because it gave you a really in depth look as to how the characters thought and felt and left you rooting for them to overcome their self created obstacles and find their way back to each other.

I really enjoyed the book, I hadn’t read Gray’s story before this and I fully intend to do so now as well as look forward to getting into Brady’s story in the future. I love books that let you get to know the characters in a way it feels like you know them and you ache for them, cheer for them, and know what they want and how they’ll react before you get there in the book.

I received an arc from Netgalley and this is my unbiased. Great romance, characters and writing. Recommend this book.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is my first Caitlin Crews book, however I can confidently say it won't be my last. This was such a well written, emotional tale and I was riveted from the outset. I just wanted to know how it was all going to play out!

Ty Everett has known nothing but the rodeo since he left home at eighteen to join the circuit. He had enjoyed plenty of success until one ride landed him in the hospital and while he could remember most things, he lost two years of his life to the amnesia brought on by the fall. Not knowing where his life is headed, he goes back home to the family ranch, which is the last place he feels at home or at peace. Honestly, since the accident, Ty hasn't felt much of anything. He's unemotional and feels numb in most cases.

Hannah Monroe was a Rodeo Queen and she was darn good at it. Having been raised by her mother, a mother who has many deep seeded issues from her own childhood and her distrust of men, Hannah believed that all men were evil since it had been so deeply ingrained in her. Well, that was until Ty. He was the one man that was able to break through and she not only gave him her heart and her hand, but also her virginity. Hannah and Ty ended up tying the knot, but they kept it quiet so she could finish her reign before they made their union public.

Before they had the chance to let anyone in on their marriage, Ty's accident occurred. Not only that, but because of a terrible fight Hannah and Ty had, she left just after the accident and it took her eighteen months to return to find her husband. Her reason for returning isn't hearts and flowers though, it is to seek a divorce. While she has the best laid plans, when Ty learns they are married, he opens up to her about his amnesia and admits that she is familiar to him, but he doesn't remember falling in love with her. What Ty doesn't know is that Hannah has another secret, their son, Jack. While she intends to tell him about his little boy, she's afraid it will send him spiraling. Will these two be able to save their relationship, or did the bull not only stomp all over Ty, but all over their relationship?

I really enjoyed how this entire story unfolded. It was emotional, it was real and you wanted things to work out for everyone involved. I enjoyed both of Ty's brothers and also Gray's wife, Abby, and his daughter, Becca. I'm really looking forward to reading Brady's book when we get to that point. He certainly has me intrigued!

Hannah was in love with rodeo star Ty when he left her and broke her heart - and left her pregnant. She goes to his home town years later to confront him once and for all. When she confronts him, he treats her so casually she can’t figure him out.

Ty was thrown from a bull and has spent the last eighteen months getting his life together after nearly dying. He has kept it hidden from his family that he lost the memory of the last two years of his life before the bullfight by being charming or being drunk. So when Hannah shows up on his ranch and clearly knew him from the rodeo days, he’s intrigued.

This was a book where I wanted to yell just talk to each other already!!! Hannah takes way too long to tell him they are married. And I understood her reasons. She’s telling a man who had no intention of ever getting married that he changed his ways when they met and they fell in love. Being told about something you did with no memories attached is difficult because there are no emotions attached to the memory.

She eventually tells him they are married. He’s shocked. She realized he doesn’t have memories of her, and that means his absence in her life wasn’t intentional.

The problem with a secret marriage is if no one knows about it, when your spouse loses their memory you are working uphill to prove you’re together. And Hannah really struggles when he introduced her to his family as his wife. Not only have they not heard of her, they assume she left him high and dry when he was injured and shows up when he’s getting his life back together.

And she still hasn’t told him about their son.

I liked the rodeo culture. It’s not one I have read much about, so I was surprised when I looked up at how strict the Rodeo Queen rules actually are.

If a contemporary second chance romance with a wounded cowboy and a sugar and steel rodeo queen sounds intriguing - give this book a try.
