Romance Erotica Sensual

Sienna Compton is a woman who knows her mind and has her life all mapped out for herself. Sienna has known who she was going to marry, what she was going to be when she grew up, and where she would live since she turned sixteen. There is no doubt in Sienna's mind that she and Josh are meant to be and they will live a nice peaceful life together. That was until her daddy brought a sexy cowboy home to help with his horse breeding business. The moment Sienna's eyes meet Daniel's she begins to have doubts. Sienna starts questioning her true feelings and the possibility maybe she doesn't have all the answers. Daniel Lennon isn't much for making plans. Daniel likes to go with the flow and live life as it comes. He has seen how a life can end in the blink of an eye and he has no plans about making, well plans. After a career ending injury riding bulls Daniel is just trying to find a way to support his self, selling rodeo equipment. Daniel was finding it difficult to be a salesman when Seth Compton came in and offered him the opportunity to help with his horse breeding business. Daniel packs up his RV and follows Seth to Compass Ranch. Daniel is feeling pretty good about this change in his life until he meets the most delectable Sienna. Daniel immediately feels the sparks of desire for Sienna but her being his boss's daughter has just added complications to his simple life. Book 1 in the Compass Girls series, WINTER'S THAW picks up about 17 years after tje Compass Brothers series left off. Authors Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon have reunited to give raving fans more of what they love, the Compton family. Where the first series focused on the four Compton brothers this series focuses on the four Compton girl cousins. As a fan of the Compass Brothers series I have to applaud the authors for giving readers a series with a familiar touch. I found similarities in the two series that makes the reader feel at home with the Compton family while meeting new characters to fall in love with. In Compass Brothers each brother had a relationship with their father and went to him to "work through" what was going on in their life. Compass Girls looks to take this step with a matriarchal focus of their grandmother. In the novels penned by authors Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon you know you will get a happy ending but the journey sometime is devastatingly heartbreaking and definitely scorching hot! Sienna and Daniel's story is no different. The two have totally different views on life and yet they have so much in common with how they feel about family. How will Sienna face the fact her well made plans may not be what she truly desires after all? How will Daniel deal with a woman who needs plans to feel safe when his only plans are to "be happy"? WINTER'S THAW will grab hold of your heart and take you on the tumultuous journey that is Sienna and Daniel. So hold on and be prepared for the ride of your life!

SUMMARY

Sienna Compton has it all figured out. Her life’s goals are set and it is all systems go. At least, it was. Until her long-time boyfriend Josh threw a ringer into the master plan, requesting a “break” from their relationship. Now she’s left alone during the long, cold Wyoming winter, questioning what her heart has always believed to be true love. Daniel Lennon is facing an uncertain future. When a tragic accident leaves him unable to pursue his career as a professional bull rider, he finds himself at Compass Ranch, working to help Sienna’s father, Seth, build his horse breeding business. One look at Sienna has Daniel envisioning things he never imagined wanting—a permanent home, love, marriage—and he’s willing to use all the red- hot tricks in his sexual arsenal to melt the ice surrounding Sienna’s broken heart.
