Warning: Stormy weather ahead…



He’s betting on friendship.

She’s banking on love.



Recently single, livestock vet Kate Cardiff is tired of risking her heart. So when an emergency calls her home to her family’s struggling ranch, Kate is ready to help—and
definitely not looking for love. It’s dislike at first sight when she meets temporary ranch hand and storm-chasing photographer Nathan Prescott. He says he can win her over, but Nathan lives in the moment, not for the future. If Kate opens her heart to someone who lives on the edge, will taking the risk lead to another heartbreak…or a new beginning?

  • Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2023
    I expected a quick, non-complicated read. What I got was a great story, deep characters (although it could have been deeper!), good steam, and just enough but not too many side characters.

    Kate (aka Katie) heads home at the drop of a hat to be with her parents when emergency strikes. She expected to be helping out at her parents bustling ranch but what, and who, encounters is not what she expected. Nathan (aka Hotstuff) is a hired ranch hand who's been taken under her father's wing and into his mother's heart - but Kate is cool towards the new face - what does he know about mucking out stalls and taking care of horses?

    Over the course of the novel we see their friendship (don't say it!) blossom and grow under rainy nights, horseback rides and banter in the barn. I really liked this book and can safely say it surpassed my expectations. I really liked Nathan's character and will be keen to read whatever comes next for these lovebirds (and their friends!).
