A Cowboys Forever Family (Cowboy Country #2) by Deb Kastner This is a wholesome, Christian romance book. Slade challenged Brody to ride the bull killed him so Slade is eat up with guilt. Laney and Brody had only been married 6 months when he was killed. After his death she finds herself pregnant and the owner of his ranch. Slade hasn’t trusted her from the beginning and thinks she is out to take the ranch and whatever else from Brody’s parents. Slade will do anything to protective the unborn baby. Slade and Laney are like oil and water but work together for the sake of the baby. They both have a lot to forgive and forget. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it to anyone.
