I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGallery and I am voluntarily reviewing. (I did also purchase a copy!)

I have been waiting for Shane's book. He has appeared several the Monroe books. This is his story along with Franny Clark. Franny is a widow and owner of a ranch. She cares for her 3 young sons and her grandmother-in-law, Gertie. The ranch supplies bulls to the rodeo circuit. Lately though, the bulls haven't been "rank" enough. The buyer will personally come and bring some riders to test out her stock for this year. The stock isn't want it used to be since her husband died from a feral bull two years ago. She just may lose the ranch. She needs to catch some of the feral bulls to keep her ranch going.

Shane along with eleven other grandchildren were fired from the Monroe family businesses per their grandfather, Harlan's will. If they weren't fired, then his children wouldn't inherit the millions. Of course the parents fired all 12 of the grandchildren. But Harlan owned a town and left it to the grandchildren. Shane is trying to keep the little town going so he can prove himself worthy of his former CEO title.

Throw in some trouble at Franny's ranch, trouble with the kids, feral bulls, the legend of Mike Moody's gold and you have a story that will enthrall you.

This is a great story. I loved the multiple person POV. It helps to set the stage for the next book as well. This is a sweet, clean romance that I would recommend to anyone.

This is a romance to shake the dust off your boots and rattle your teeth as you meet a heroine who gets charged by feral bulls, rides a horse and ropes, and takes no nonsense. LASSOED BY THE WOULD-BE RANCHER is a figure of speech, as no people actually get lassoed; just cattle, and darn large ones.

CEO Shane Monroe sticks out like a sore thumb in Second Chance, Idaho, where he’s investigating his grandfather’s connection to the town’s folklore of stolen treasure. Feisty local Franny Clark ridicules his city-slicker ways but allows Shane to hunt for gold on her land…if he can help save her rodeo ranch. Shane is captivated by Franny’s go-getting attitude, but what will it take for him to win her over?
This was a pretty good book. The story was well paced. I liked both main characters. I hadn’t read this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it didn’t disappoint. I recommend.

Shane is in Second Chance, Idaho investigating some stolen treasure that his grandfather might have something to do with. Franny knows of the story but doesn't really believe its true but will let him search within reason.

This was a sweet little enjoyable book. I thought it was interesting seeing how everything played out. This book was pretty tame from what I normally read. ( I've been reading non stop action books and then pretty much went to this) but there was a few things here and there to keep me wanting more. Like the bull for instance it was pretty much a presence of knowing that there is little to stop the beast from hurting any one. Not much to say about this book other then it was a pretty good contemporary romance and that I enjoyed it.
