Description
A rodeo star who’s as wild as a bull…
Rodeo rider Chace Meier has had enough of hard hits, wild women, fame and fortune. He’s ready to find a new dream, and being at his family ranch has always kept him grounded. So when he’s asked by a friend to help open a distillery in his hometown, he’s raring to go. Only one thing stands in his way—the prim and proper mayor of his Texas town. The sedate and sophisticated Gretchen de Havilland has not one red hair out of place on her gorgeous head, but not even her adorably aloof attitude will put Chace off. He’s looking to put his town on the map, and he’ll turn on all his charm to do so.
…and the woman who ropes him in.
Town mayor Gretchen de Havilland has her professional career all planned out. A few more years in local politics, and then it’s on to her dream of being attorney general. She’s hoping to make a name for Close Call, Texas as the perfect place to raise a family, and her vision definitely does not include having a distillery as a draw. Rough and ready Chace Meier may be used to getting his way, but if he thinks Gretchen can be swayed by his unruly hair, taut muscles, and sexy smirk, he has another thing coming.
The cocky cowboy needs to convince the town council to rezone in order to open his distillery, and the levelheaded local mayor is dead set on her political path. With both wanting to help Close Call, can they put their differences aside and create a future for the town and each other?

Third book in the series and just as good. Those Meier boys are something. Chase was a rodeo cowboy and Gretchen was mayor of their small town. It did take a while, but they finally fell for each other, only to have misunderstanding get in the way. But all is well in the end. I really enjoyed this one. I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review
Leslie North is such a creative writer, she can keep her readers so absorbed into her stories that you can’t put them down. Once again she has written a story that pulls at the heartstrings and you can’t help falling in love with her characters. You always get great characters, writing and story with this author and she sure has delivered that in this book and series. One of the best series I’ve read in a long time. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all book lovers out there.
This book will keep you wondering about Chace and Gretchen relationship. She has this way of attempting to keep him at bay and not wanting him to open up a bar or alcohol establishment in her town due to the way her mom passed. He is a bull rider and he is taking time off to heal and figure out what he is going to do next in his life. He wants to do something that he will be proud of She wants him to consider doing something along with the establishment to include kids of the visitors of his place.
