I didn't know I needed the Hart family until I jumped into this story! We have meet them as part of the author's other cowboy series. A group of homeless youth who had each other's backs and grew up to be wealthy land owners and billionaire business people. The is the story of one lost soul--Tatum --and how she not only lost her way but found it back again to the people who truly love her.

Brody has been the big brother and protector of this bunch most of his adult life. He let Tatum fly and she took his heart with her. When the rest of the family urges him to find closure, he instead opens up the walls around his heart. Tatum is in grave danger and the only one she wants comfort from is Brody.

Great second chance story. All the feels about young love and true love. Truths come out and hearts are healed. Lots of tension between these two. A bit of suspense in the mix doesn't hurt the story line either. Loved seeing all the Hart's in their element. Looking forward to reading more about this bunch.

A Rogue Cowboy's Second Chance is the first in a new series for Stephanie Rowe and it's fabulous. The book has a slightly different feel than the connected series Wyoming Rebels, which is so refreshing. Lots of attraction and suspense, did not see the outcome at all. The wonderful aspect of the Hart Ranch Billionaires is that the characters are all full of unconditional love and acceptance. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

3 1/2 star review......

A Rogue Cowboy's Second Chance is the first book in Stephanie Rowe’s Hart Ranch Billionaires and a nicely paced story of second chances and the hurdles that present themselves on the road to happiness. The flow of the story was good, and the characters were likeable and well-developed. I haven’t read anything by Ms Rowe for many years, and my love of Cowboys drew me to this story and a once familiar author. I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

A Rogue Cowboy's Second Chance is the first book in Stephanie Rowe's new Hart Ranch Billionaires series. It hooked me from the first page and I read it straight through until morning. While I would have preferred more steam between the two main characters and a little less redundancy, it had all the emotional impact and suspense that are hallmarks of a really good romantic suspense novel and it gets 4.5 stars from this reader.

Brody Hart was an abused young teenager when he ran away from one of his abusive foster homes, taking in other such abused and abandoned young people, making them into their own supportive family, all while nearly penniless and living under a bridge. One summer, 15 years earlier, Tatum Crosby, another runaway, joined them, and the attraction between her and Brody was immediate and strong. Brody took his role as the "family" protector seriously, but shortly after the only time these two made love and professed their love for one another, Brody informed Tatum that in order to rescue another abused female by marrying her, a heartbroken Tatum left in the middle of the night, and began to pursue her lifelong desire to be a country music star, a goal she achieved in spades, and in the 15 years they've been apart, Brody has become a tech wizard and is now a billionaire, living in seclusion on his huge Oregon ranch along with many of the now-adult kids he rescued, and where his purpose now is to rescue and rehabilitate abused horses.

There's been no contact between Brody and Tatum for 15 years, and neither has forgotten the love they once shared, but all that is about to change when Tatum sends him a front-row seat ticket and VIP pass to one of her concerts. He's reluctant to use it, thinks it's a hoax, but his family members urge him to use the ticket and find out for himself whether it's real or not.

Tatum married at 18 and is now divorced from her ex-husband, Donny, who, unfortunately is also her manager, and the ironclad contract she signed at 18 has her tied to him for life. Donny was an abusive cheat, and while Tatum's career has skyrocketed, Donny has become increasingly possessive of her and has been trying to win her back, and, oh yes, she's now also acquired a stalker. After Brody uses his ticket, and even sings a duet with Tatum, Donny sends him packing when he tries to see Tatum after the show, and while chasing after him, Tatum is attacked by her stalker, from whom she manages to escape, but he broke her arm--with nothing but the clothes on her back, in pain, and terrified, she manages to find Brody at his hotel, and as protective as ever, he gets her to a hospital and takes her back to his huge Oregon ranch--and that's just for starters.

What follows is a deeply absorbing, second chance at romance and happiness for both of these well-defined and well-developed main characters as they come to terms with who they are now, their goals, their angst, and the feelings they still evoke in each other--but Tatum's a star, and Brody has his ranch--is there any way they can finally resolve their own issues and find their way back to one another? And what of the rest of the Hart family members? How will they react to Tatum's return, since she left them all behind too? It all makes for a well-written, deeply emotional and suspenseful read, and I'm happy to recommend it. I'm eagerly looking forward to following this engaging and emotional series.

I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel. The opinions stated are my own.

I didn't read a cowboy romance book in a long time and A Rogue Cowboy's Second Chance by Stephanie Rowe was just what I wanted, romance and suspense that kept me glued to my e-reader.

Brody and Tatum meet again years after their last encounter under the bridge, they have changed a lot, a billionaire the first and a singer the latter, but she needs protection and Brody is the only person she trusts for the job. Will Brody keep her safe? Or will Tatum run away again?

I loved the main characters, Brody and Tatum are two beautiful souls and they deserve to be happy. Their past made me break down and cry a river but I adored how both of them became stronger and changed their fate. Brody is my favourite, selfless and devoted to his loved onces, sometimes even too much attentive. Where could I find a man like him?

The book was the perfect length with a satisfactory epilogue even though it ends around the 85%.
I highly recommend it and I'm already looking for next one in the series.

This is not only the first book in the series about the Hart Ranch billionaires. It’s also the first book I have read by this author. One that, after enjoying this story, has been added to my TBR list .
Brodie Hart is a man dedicated to his family. A family he created when he chose to protect other teens like him. Homeless kids living under a bridge with no support. Even at a young age, his protective instincts were to take care of them at all cost. Including his happiness.
Tatum Crosby was one of these kids that spent a summer with the group when she was 17 years old. A young love grew but Brodie’s protective instincts forced Tatum to leave after she was hurt and trust was lost.
Nowadays Brodie, still the protector, is a billionaire and Tatum a famous singer. Neither forgot the other, and both still have each other in their hearts.
When danger surrounds Tatum, the one she turns to is Brodie. Will they get a second chance? Will the danger win? Or will their love be a thing of the past.
Though the plot was engaging and the characters complex, it’s the theme of the story that touched me most. The story is about family and trust. A family isn’t always one that comes by blood. In this case, it was forged by individuals that bounded in their youth always taking care of each other, thanks to the guidance of one individual, in this case, Brodie.
A touching and wonderful story that leaves this reader eager to see what else is in store in this series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

In A Rogue Cowboy's Second Chance by Stephanie Rowe which is the first book in her Hart Ranch Billionaires series country music star Tatum Crosby has a stalker. That's not her only problem. Her ex-husband won't leave her alone and Tatum wants nothing to do with the cheating louse. Too bad he is her manager. She's stuck with him due to the contract he had her sign when she was eighteen. So far no lawyer has been able to get her out of that contract. Tatum is attacked after a concert and looking for protection she flees to her first love billionaire Brody Hart who protected her and the other street kids who lived under the bridge when they were teenagers hiding from the abuses they endured in the faster care system. What happens next is a fascinating story filled with past heartache soothed, reuniting with old friends, danger and eye-opening to where the danger is coming from. I enjoyed this second chance romance and look forward to moer stories in this series.

A Rogue Cowboy’s Second Chance finally gives us a lot more insight into the elusive Brody Hart. Savior of lost and abandoned children, tech billionaire, eternally alone founder of the Hart clan. Fifteen years ago, he met the woman of his dreams when they were both too young and too vulnerable. They’re no longer young and desperate but poor Tatum is still vulnerable when it comes to her stalker and preying ex-husband. After a super sexy shared song on stage and a very scary encounter leaving Tatum with a broken arm, these two find themselves together. Can Brody give Tatum the refuge she needs? Can Tatum find a moment’s peace and a sense of safety in Brody’s care?

Rowe always creates wonderful characters and these two are some of her best. How can you not love Brody? The man has spent his life saving people, being everyone’s rock even at the cost of his own happiness and needs. Tatum may be rich and famous but she’s still the caring, sweet woman Brody brought into his “family” all those years ago. It’s funny how everyone in Brody’s family knows what he won’t acknowledge – that he’s never gotten over Tatum. Tatum may have left the Harts behind, married and become a household name but Brody’s her one that got away. How can Brody put everyone else’s needs second to his and Tatum’s and pursue his chance at happiness? How can Tatum forgive Brody for not choosing her or putting her first even after he admitted he loved her? Nothing can stop their true love though, can it?

Brody is so swoon worthy. I know, it’s cliché but it’s so true. Who doesn’t want a man who’ll go to any length to protect them? Tatum is so nice. She’s caring and fun. I wanted these two together from the minute Tatum invited Brody to her show and far more after their duet. When Brody takes the battered Tatum to his ranch even a horrible evening and a broken arm can’t stop the sparks between these two. The whole Hart family is, of course, in Brody and Tatum’s business. The meddling starts from before Brody even knows he has an invite to Tatum’s concert and never really ends. Every single one of the Harts is endearing and their tightness as a family and evident love for each other is so incredibly heartwarming. I’m ready to move to Oregon and join the family! There are fences to mend, and not just between Tatum and Brody, there’s a ton of suspense with the stalker situation and there’s a touching romance being rekindled. This book has everything I want in a good novel. I cried, laughed and lived their lives with them from the first page to the last. I couldn’t wait to see what came next and experience it through Rowe’s amazing writing.

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the ARC.

It's been a while since I read a good cowboy romance, and this was just what I needed. I’ve been a fan of this talented lady's work for years, but it’s also been years since I’ve read any of her novels. She certainly hasn’t lost her touch and, if anything, she's gotten better over time.

This story has such a heartfelt premise, with throwaway kids who survived together, cobbled themselves into a family, and are still in each others' lives as adults. It's been many years since Tatum Crosby left her little family to pursue her dreams as a singer. But when trouble comes her way, she turns to Brody Hart, the one who always protected them and kept them safe.

I'll admit I’m a big fan of second chance romances, but gah, I adored Tatum and Brody! I was invested quickly in their story and really rooting for their HEA. This is the kind of story I love the most, where both characters have flaws but learn and grow and become stronger together than they would ever be on their own.

This one has it all. An inviting setting, interesting secondary characters who whet the appetite for more, a rewarding second chance, and tons of heart. Run to the 1-Click now, because this is one you won’t want to miss!
