Hired to document the Rose family's history, CanDee McCain arrived at the Texas Rose Ranch for a six-week stay where she was promptly mistaken for the stripper Cinco Rose's brothers had hired for his birthday. It was an honest mistake as his brothers always hired a stripper for his birthday. After making the appropriate and numerous apologies, Cinco felt an instant attraction to CanDee. Turns out that the feeling is mutual. Would it be enough to form a relationship when CanDee's research uncovers shocking information?
Katie Graykowski has created terrific, three-dimensional characters. They are vibrant and affable, but CanDee and Cinco come with serious baggage. Both had been hurt badly by their previous partners and the narrative digs deep into this. The dialogue is witty and the characters' banter will have readers laughing out loud-a lot! Even so, the characters grapple with serious issues such as trust, independence, and honesty. The secondary characters are a vital part of this story as are the subplots.
TEXAS ROSE FOREVER (a Texas Rose Ranch novel) by Katie Graykowski is a heartwarming story about second chances for romance. Well-plotted and lively, it is a pleasure to read. Highly recommended.
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and that goes double at the
Texas Rose Ranch, home to the Rose family through five
generations of toil, sweat, and scandal. From the moment
CanDee McCain is hired to write a history of the Roses’
empire, she’s bowled over by tall, sexy Cinco Rose. True,
the man initially mistakes her for a stripper, but he
certainly puts the man in manly. For the first time since
her cheating ex left, stealing her novel-in-progress in
the process, CanDee is ready to have a little fun.
No woman has ever made Cinco feel both so at ease and so
turned on. Since his divorce, he’s preferred a saddle and
solitude to risking his heart again. Yet something draws
him to the fast-talking, leggy redhead. CanDee’s not just
sweet; she’s smart and brave too. But her research is
uncovering long-buried secrets that could jeopardize
everything the Roses prize most—and destroy a love that’s
just begun to bloom.
