This book is a good fit for readers who enjoy heartwarming contemporary romance stories set in a Colorado ranch, featuring a cowboy with amnesia, a secret marriage, and the discovery of an unexpected baby.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is the second book in the Cold River Ranch series by Caitlin Crews. It's the story of Hannah and Ty. I liked their story but it was a little wordy sometimes.

At a young age Ty Everett left his home to join the rodeo and never looked back. But one fall changed everything, and he heads back home with an injured leg and amnesia. With having no purpose he Ty decides to settle at the Cold River Ranch until Hannah Monroe shows up claiming to be his wife. Despite having no memory of his wife Ty tries to mend the already fragile relationship they already have but he soon discovers a secret she kept from him that could doom their relationship forever.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy by Caitlin Crews was a very heartfelt second chance romance that made my heart melt into two.

Apologies for the late response on this title, and apologies for clogging up an inbox on old titles.

While I am aware it's obvious, I have chosen not to read/review this title.

As always, I appreciate access to titles and look forward to the next one...which I have likely already read based on how long ago this title was published.

Thanks, again.

Ty is the second of three sons in this rancher family and he is the rodeo cowboy/bull rider who was seriously hurt and now back on the ranch after the death of their father. Little does he know he left someone behind, seeing that he has a memory loss and cannot remember anything from the 2 years before the accident, but when Hannah shows up in Cold River and turns up on the Everett Ranch there are definite sparks. She agrees to meet him at the saloon that evening and when she walks in, make that swaggers in, Ty still claims to have no feelings but there is definitely something there. Getting her to take a drive with him, she finally tells him how she knows him, she is his wife. Does Ty automatically get his memory back, definitely not but he knows there is something there and moves Hannah into the small bunkhouse he has been living in with the promise that he will not touch her until she can trust him. He knows there is something she is not telling him and as the days go by and they grow closer and Hannah misses their son she frets on how to tell Ty he has a son. That decision is taken out of her hands when her mother shows up on the ranch. This does not go over good and Ty walks off in the night and Hannah moves back home to Georgia. With the bull ride of the century coming up, will these two hard-headed lovers find their way back together? Make sure you read all the way to the end because you cannot miss those 8 seconds on that bull, it is a life changer for everyone!

I really liked this book. It was a good read, kept my interest, and I felt connected to the characters. Ty has a lot of demons and Hannah is going to be bringing some new ones to him. I thought it flowed well.

She walked into his life and he felt a pull so strong he wanted to see her again. They got to fall in love all over again and learn what made each other special. At moments it was absolutely heartbreaking at the time they lost but it also made their connection so much stronger. Such a wonderful story!

Caitlin Crews second book, Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy, in the Cold River series is the most refreshing, and original second chance story I’ve read. The premise is so different from other such stories with the same theme, from the opening paragraph it draws you in, and grabs you around your heart.

The characters are flawed, but completely relatable…their personalities are unique and that make the turmoil that much more understandable and gut wrenching. I’d thought Gray and Abby’s story was one I’d never forget, but Ty and Hannah’s tops that list.

I’m absolutely looking forward to Brady’s story…it’s sure to be as unique as his brothers’ stories are.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

Ty Everett ran off to the rodeo when he turned eighteen and has been riding bulls ever since…until his last fall causes partial amnesia and he must return to Cold River Ranch to figure out what comes next. But how can he pick his next move when he can’t remember how he got here in the first place—much less the beautiful woman who appears at the ranch, claims she knows him, and warms his cold heart for the first time since he woke up in the hospital?

The chemistry between these two characters is brilliant. He can't remember her but he is drawn to her. Fabulous Cowboy romance with everything you could want from this genre of story. Well written, good dialogue and overall storyline.

I loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking to settle down to read a romance book.

This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you

I think when it comes to Cowboy romances Caitlin Crews is one author you definitely don't want to miss. Her books are deep, and emotional, and she makes you invested in the lives of characters that sometimes you don't even like. That was the case in this book.

I did not expect to love this book because i knew i didn't enjoy the male lead's character in book one when he was a side character. Additionally, this book follows a rodeo queen who is all big hair, georgia drawl, sass, and rhinestones. Her character was not one i expected to enjoy. This book blew all my expectations out of the water.

Hannah Monroe was in the peak of her career when she met Ty Everett, bull rider. Raised to believe that men were trouble, Hannah wasn't having it when Ty tried to come on to her over the years. But at some point that dislike changed into something warmer and more real, and Hannah broke the cardinal rule of being a Rodeo Queen: she entered into a relationship. Her time with Ty was a secret. Sneaking away from her room with her mother to spend time with him under the stars or in his truck. It wasn't long before she fell in love with him. They get married in secret, planning to announce it once her last round of Queening was over. Until the accident.

Ty Everett grew up in a family filled with unhealthy relationships. An abusive, alcoholic father. And two brothers who went completely different directions - Brady escaped the second he could, moving to Denver and never looking back. Gray was ever the responsible son, and took care of Cold River Ranch all his life - focusing on his legacy and and making sure he knew the way of the land as he fully expected to be left to take care of it. This leaves Ty who never really felt like he had a place growing up. Always feeling like he was stuck in the middle, always ready to respond with just as much piss and vinegar as he's dealt. The second he turned 18 he told his father he was going to be a bull rider and, furious, his father Amos kicked him out. It was at this point that he transformed into the swaggering, devil may care, cowboy that we meet him as. A very popular rider, he gets on a bull known for being notoriously difficult to ride. And the accident happens. He gets bucked off the bull and trampled.

No one knows how Ty survived the ordeal, and he wasn't keen to tell his brothers the extent of the difficulty his recovery. Including the fact that Ty Everett is missing two years of time - ending with the day of his accident. Ty doesn't remember Hannah at all, and sends her packing when she comes to the hospital after the accident. Unknowing of Ty's memory loss, she takes it personally and leaves.

19 months after the accident Hannah hears that Ty plans to get back on the bull that ended his career and she can't take it anymore. She drives down to Cold River Ranch to confront him and make him take responsibility for what happened between them. It didn't take her long to realize Ty had no idea who she was - and that she is the only one who has realized that he's lost time. With all kinds of secrets to bear, and emotions all over the place at the realization, Hannah has some difficult choices to make. Does she tell Ty about their time together, even if she suspects his reaction will be the same as it was before? Does she risk heartbreak again for the man she loves, or does she protect herself and her family from Ty entering their life again?

Like i said, this book blew my expectations out of the water. I ended up really enjoying the characters - both of them having a lot of trauma to unpack and issues with each other to deal with. They were deep, and dimensional, and I actually really appreciated the not "naturally" drop dead gorgeous without trying type of character. So many cowboy romances you read, like the first book in this series, feature characters who just woke up like this and rolled out of bed. While I understand why that might be realistic for someone who does manual labor, it's nice to see a diversity in character type.

I also really appreciated getting to see the characters we met in book one again. Abby is one of my favorite people in this series and I loved the snippets that we got of her and Gray.

Additionally, I really appreciated that despite the fact that this character is seen as high maintenance in this sort of setting that there wasn't much cattiness.

There was a lot of the main character and her mother fighting against rumors and assumptions that were made about them in their home town and at the rodeo which was a dimension i appreciated.

There were so many times where this book got so emotional. I'll admit, it took a while for them to actually get together. There was a lot of waffling about Hannah's intentions, and the will they won't they aspect, but the payoff is just so worth it.

The ending was absolutely perfect - I was so emotional at their reunion (this isn't a spoiler a HEA is a requirement for a romance novel) and was just so happy that it worked out the way I wanted it to.

I can't wait to read the next one in the series and more of this author in general.

Thanks again to St. Martin's Press for yet another amazing romance ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was an okay book, I honestly got lost quite a bit and it was hard to finish. The characters were great but the storyline was not exciting and it seemed to just drag on a bit. I don’t like leaving harsh reviews however.

Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy was an enjoyable read featuring a second chance romance with an amnesia twist.

Ty Everett left home at eighteen to join the rodeo and never looked back. But after a fall during his last ride, Ty heads home with an injured leg and amnesia centered around the two years prior to his fall. With no idea what to do next, Ty settles into life on the Cold River Ranch until one day Rodeo Queen Hannah Monroe shows up claiming to be his wife. But with no memory of Hannah, Ty has a hard time repairing the relationship he obviously broke despite feeling more at ease with Hannah than he's felt since returning home. And after Ty discovers Hannah has been hiding a big secret from him, their relationship may be doomed before it has a chance.

Ty and Hannah's romance was a but unique as at its' core it was a second chance romance, but Ty's amnesia meant only Hannah remembered their relationship. This book picks up months after Ty's accident, with Hannah only staying away as she was unaware Ty had amnesia and thought he simply wanted nothing to do with her due to a fight they had right before the accident. I understood why Hannah thought Ty didn't want her around, but I had a hard time accepting her decision to stay away rather than try to fix her marriage. Plus add in the fact Hannah had Ty's son during that absence and it was even more crappy she stayed away. I don't generally love babies in my romances, but I absolutely hate the secret baby trope which is essentially what this book featured due to Ty's amnesia causing him to forget Hannah's pregnancy and her keeping it a secret after she finds out about the amnesia. Due to Hannah's secrecy, centered around a trope I don't like, I didn't love their romance. Don't get me wrong, the pair had fantastic chemistry and their steamy scenes were well done, I just couldn't get past Hannah's deception.

The side characters in this book are fantastic and I really enjoy the Everett family. Due to the Everett siblings working together on the ranch, we see quite a bit of them as well as Ty's older brother Gray's wife and daughter. Gray's romance was the focus of the first book in the series, A True Cowboy Christmas, which featured a marriage of convenience romance that I really enjoyed. This book also has a few appearances of the Kittredge family which is the focus of the author's next series.

Overall while I loved the setting and side characters of Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy, it wasn't my favorite romance due to my dislike of one of the tropes used. However I would recommend the book for anyone who enjoys secret baby romances.

I’m late in giving feedback but this book was a decent follow up to Gray and Abby’s story. Hannah comes looking for Ty after being apart for 2 years, except he can’t remember their relationship at all. This book was more about Ty figuring out who he is and not believing he’s going to repeat how Amos was. I just wish Hannah mentioned Jack sooner. Overall a good book but it didn’t wow me.

COLD HEART, WARM COWBOY - Caitlin Crews

#2 in the Cold River Ranch Western romance series

SLOW BUT STEADY ROMANCE - 4 stars

Plot - 4 stars - Hannah hasn't heard from Ty since their marriage, and she tracks him down. Come to find out, he had amnesia when thrown by a bull and has completely lost the two years of their relationship. Now they both have to figure out what they want to do and if they can make it together.

Writing - 4 stars - The beginning of the book started out slow, not grabbing me until after the first 100 pages or so. I think there was too much set-up and not enough interaction. We spent a lot of time focusing on Ty's amnesia and his worry about his life choices. It felt depressing, which I suppose is a good thing since that was also what Ty was feeling.

Characters - 4 stars - At first we meet Ty as the love-'em-and-leave-'em kind of cowboy, and we also know about his difficult childhood at the hands of his abusive father. So it's no surprise that he has a hard time facing the surprising fact that he's a husband and father. It took a while to get to know Hannah. She's had to deal with her son as a single mother and her mother has been constantly berating all men, so it's no surprise that Hannah takes her time coming out of her shell. She's been performing all her life as a rodeo queen, so it's difficult for her to be herself and feel like she can fit in. It was nice to see them blossom and bring out the best in each other.

Title - 4 stars - What is, at first glance, Ty's coldness, turns out to be his fears and worries about his amnesia. But he's not really that guy--he's someone who's having a hard time facing his future and figuring out who he wants to be.

Cover - 4 stars - A fairly typical cover for this genre, but I like that the cowboy is fully dressed--not showing obvious abs in an attempt to catch the reader's eye. The cowboy hat and clothes definitely set the mood for the book.

Overall - 4 stars - I'll admit that this one isn't as good as the 5-star rating for Book #1. But as we get to know Ty a little better, he starts to evolve into a good romantic hero. He's pretty depressing because of his amnesia and his job situation, not to mention Hannah's bombshell about their marriage and child. But as they get to know each other better and live together, they warm up and become much more approachable and more appealing. By the end, I was really rooting for their success and for Ty's comeback victory. It was great to revisit with Gray, Abby, Becca, and younger brother Brady.

I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just could not get enough of it and once I started reading it I could not put it down. I recommend that you read it.

Book 2 in this series and it was not a let down. This one focuses on Ty, the son who ran away to Rodeo at 18 and came home broken with amnesia. His past life catches up with him, the kicker is he doesn't remember it or the girl who got left behind. Will he be able to remember, make amends and move on or will there be too many hurdles and self doubt?

´ve got this book from publishers via NetGalley in exchange of an honest review and I had this book almost a year. I´m so sorry, that this review is so overdue, but I just   couldn´t force myself to pick it up, even though I tried many times. But now, because of a Magical O.W.Ls readathon I was in a need for a book with a word "heart" in the title or on the cover. I thought that it´s almost a sign to give this book a chance and so I did... However I was very disappointed, even though I read it in two sittings. Yes,  I have to be hones though, I cheated a little and skipped some pages in the end, because it was so boring. 

In my opinion this book was a mess, I couldn´t care less what will happen to any of the characters. Hannah was so annoying, that a wanted to smack her sometimes, even though I´m not a violent person. Plastic doll, with a plastic decisions. Of course, there is nothing wrong in make-up, I love it too, but she was on another level with her appearance.  Ty wasn´t a mind pleaser either. 

Also, this book could have been so much shorter, if someone cut out some of those inner monologs, that dragged over few pages. 

I don´t know, maybe I just don´t get all this rodeo and cowboy concept, because this book has a quite good rating on Goodreads. So I won´t say that you shouldn´t read it. Give it a chance if you like cowboys, maybe you will love it.

I got this as an ARC from Netgalley but was unable to read it after the death of my mother. I'll be sure to update as soon as possi
