Really enjoyed this one! Always a sucker for amnesia stories and Crews is a great writer, really able to give the characters emotional depth.
Ty was in a horrible rodeo accident and can't remember the last two years of his life so when Hannah tells him they're married it's quite a shock. Unfortunately, the plot doesn't move along much from there even though I enjoyed the characters. It's the will they or won't they that lasts for a long time.
I tried so hard to get into this one. The blurb about this story sounds awesome! I was hooked after reading it. The story itself lacked in my opinion. He doesn’t even learn he is married until the 25% mark of the book. At this point, I just couldn’t keep going on so I skipped around until I finished it.
It’s not a bad story, it’s just not the story for me.
Ms. Crews takes us back to Cold River Ranch and the Everett brothers. This time it's Ty, the rodeo star. Ty has trouble still...dealing with the memories of just how terrible his father was, dealing with the crushing blow of the end of his career beneath the hooves of an angry bull...and the loss of the memories of two years of his life.
If you haven't read the first book, grab it, it's about the oldest Everett, Gray and how he handled the nightmare of his childhood and taking care of his brothers, while dealing with their father, Amos.
Ty takes a different approach, but ends up going against his plans for never getting married when he meets Rodeo Queen Hannah, who has her own cross to bear. The trauma of an event just before the fateful bull ride, and the aftermath of the ride, leaves him with a two year blank spot in his memory.
Hannah comes to the family ranch to finally end her state of limbo face to face with Ty, and finds she still loves him and he really doesn't remember her.
She tells him enough that he wants to see where the feelings she brings alive just by coming into view will go, but she still has a secret he doesn't know and time is running out.
It's a sweet western tale with a little steam and enjoyable. I await Brady's tale.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC to peruse.
I was seriously expecting something more, both characters were so immersed in their thought that there was almost no action at all and in the end I found the complete plot boring. Still thinking if I am going to read the next installment, maybe just because it should be the last one.....
Mi aspettavo davvero qualcosa di meglio, i due protagonisti sono talmente impegnati a rimuginare sempre sugli stessi pensieri che non succede praticamente niente e quello che succede é noioso. Devo ancora decidere se leggere o meno il prossimo, magari anche solo perché é l'ultimo libro.....
THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!
I enjoyed reading this book.
It is a heartfelt & very moving story.
Hannah, is sure she is doing the right
thing, approaching Ty. Ty, is a bull rider
in the rodeo. 2 years ago, Ty, was
badly injured. After a horrible fight
between Hannah & Ty, she has not seen
or heard for him, since that time.
It's time to talk.
Emotionally, Hannah & Ty's story
will tugs at all your heartstrings.
Will they finally admit what they feel
& find their way to one another?
Or will life have other plans.
Hannah leaves Georgia and heads to Colorado to see her husband Ty. It has been 18 months, and she hasn't heard from him, and with a young toddler, she wants to get on with her life. Trouble is, Ty was injured in a bull riding accident, and cannot remember her or that she was pregnant. Overall, I enjoyed this book and do highly recommend it. The only issue I had was that both of them were so consumed with the negative voices of their parents and at times it got tiresome. Minor issue.
Hands down, the best part is this book is Ty’s family dynamics. The brothers are all deliciously gruff and grumpy, and watching them struggle to relate to each other and open up despite so obviously loving each other was the most emotional aspect of the book for me. The brothers, together with Abby and Becca, make a wonderful group of side characters and even help to define Ty and Hannah’s relationship as well.
I received a digital arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Ty and Hannah have good chemistry—but one downside to the amnesia plot is their romance is subsequently stilted. Plots built around keeping secrets generally make me pretty nervous, but the execution and pay off of this particular plot worked really well and didn’t cause too much anxiety. Crews’ conclusion was sweet and strong, and managed to make up for the anxiety from all the secrets.
LOVED this book!!! Ty is positively swoon-worthy as the damaged bull riding rodeo star, while Hannah, a rodeo queen forever, proves that within every proper southern gal lies a core of steal.
After Ty's last bull ride, he was seriously injured and lost two years worth of memories - and those that contained his relationship with Hannah. Hannah doesn't know that he lost his memories and thinks that he's chosen to not be part of their lives. I loved both of their characters and thoroughly enjoyed their second chance romance. Their struggle felt real and full of heart.
Parts of this novel occur at the same time as the first book took place, however, focusing on Ty's story instead of Grey's. I really enjoyed this perspective and also enjoyed the opportunity to read about the other characters again. This is a stand alone novel, however, the series is so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series. The author is on my must read authors' list.
COLD HEART, WARM COWBOY by Caitlin Crews is an intense second chance romance! Once you start reading this story you can't put it down. Ty and Hannah, both are struggling. You can't help but feel for them and the Everett men. I'd love to see the next story on this complex family!
