About this ebook
Dancer Larissa Martine is ready to start over and Las Vegas seems like the perfect city for a shiny new beginning. But first, to honor her pact with her girlfriends, she wants to make a quick stop in Cheyenne, WY to make amends with her first love, the guy she left to chase her dreams of Broadway fame. Except rancher Matt Briggs isn’t nearly as interested in her regrets as he is in keeping her in town for his sister's wedding. It’s a request she can’t deny when his family takes up the cause to make her stay for just one more week, but it’s difficult to maintain her friends-only boundaries with a man who attracts her as much as ever.
After losing his father and inheriting the family ranch in addition to the one he’d bought on his own, Matt’s life is all about obligations. But Larissa’s unexpected arrival during the wedding mayhem is a bright spot he won’t ignore, even if that means tempting her into far more than just a dance. He figures one night with her will bring them both some peace with their past, which is all she said she wanted. But one night leaves Matt wanting a whole lot more and this time, he’s willing to gamble everything to make her stay.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is entertaining, romantic and sweet. Matt is stubborn, sweet and romantic. Larissa is loyal, determined and vulnerable. They fell in love in college, but while Matt's dream was ranching, Larissas's was of New York Theater, and she thought that she owed it to her mother and herself to go. Eight years later she wonders if that really was her dream, or if it was her mother's. She went to him to explain, and found that she still had feelings for him. He acknowledged his feelings for her, but only to himself. Neither knew how the other felt. It's a very enjoyable story.I received a complimentary copy of this book from LibraryThing. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Second Chance Cowboy by Joanne RockRoad to Romance #2Quick easy second chance at love romance that takes place eight years after college sweethearts abruptly separate with Larissa Martine heading off to Broadway to dance after her sophomore year in college while her boyfriend, Matt Briggs, graduates and heads home to live on the ranch he bought next to the family spread. On her way to Las Vegas for a dance audition Larissa stops to make amends to Matt for the way she departed and tell him why she did so. Matt’s sister, Callie, is getting married in a week and invites Larissa to stay for the wedding and by staying Larissa gives herself another chance to spend time with Matt and his family. During that week the relationship rekindles but without open communication there is little hope of a HEA for the two of them…I enjoyed the backstory of Matt’s grandmother and the idea that sometimes what we think our dream is – the one we pursue steadfastly – might not be our own but someone else’s dream instead. Being mature enough to realize this and make changes is essential to live a happy life.Thank you to NetGalley and Tule Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.4 Stars
