I’ve read all of the Wyoming Rebels. Those were great. This series is off to a great start. Can’t wait until the others are published. These HEAs with a little angst are a great read.
Heart warming swoony healing love

This book…just wow….it really packs an emotional punch. It is a beautiful second chance story with all the emotions, the connections and the love expertly woven throughout. I was immersed in the story from the first sentence and could not put it down. I did not simply read the characters’ emotions, I lived and breathed them with Sofia, Keegan and Gabby, feeling all their feelings as if they were my own - the love, the joy, the fear, the sadness, the laughter, the regret, the pain, and the tears. Keegan Hart is a billionaire who has never stopped looking for the one woman who captured his heart 17 years ago when he was a homeless teen. Sofia has been hiding for years but the truth and a serendipitous twist of fate brings them together once again. Their chemistry and feelings are still there despite the passage of time but dealing with the past while trying to stay safe from potential danger complicates things and trusting is hard. The journey to their HEA is a bit of a roller coaster ride but it is a fantabulous heart warming journey. The book has a little bit of everything - sweet moments, strong family bonds, sexy times, real life issues, imperfect characters, dangerous moments, mystery, uber protective men, painful pasts, and so much love. The books in this series have a central theme of family - those we are born into and those we create. I loved this heart warming, swoony love story and I cannot wait to read the rest of the Harts’ stories. I willingly reviewed an early copy of this book.

Stephanie Rowe really knows how to infuse Christmas spirit into all the feels of a cowboy romance! Loved the plot line, and it felt very true to the characters you developed. My only complaint is that the ending felt very abrupt, complete but abrupt. Could have used a little epilogue!

I received a free ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Rogue Cowboy Christmas Surprise by Stephanie Rowe
Hart Ranch Billionaires series book 2. Spin off of Wyoming Rebels series. Contemporary romance. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Keegan has always wondered about the girl he spent a week with when he was young and living under a bridge. Finding out he has a daughter sixteen years later and having them both back in his life is everything to Keegan. He vows to protect them from any darkness or harm and fill their lives with love and family.

Ripe with emotional heartstrings.
Only a quarter into the book and I’ve been crying for the last twenty pages. Those feel good moments where you want to cuddle something (or someone!) and breath it in. Keegan and Sofia have to work at learning to trust while dealing with a perceptive teen. It’s romantic and sweet and beautiful.
I admit I cry pretty easily. This author has always been able to make me sob (happily!) even on a public transit system at the heart of rush hour. Maybe it will only be a smile for you when the good stuff happens. Enjoy the moment.

“Keegan smelled delicious.
He was muscled.
He was strong.
And his arms felt familiar, safe, and, if Sofia were honest with herself, thrilling. Like how she used to feel with him. And the little puppy in his jacket made her remember how soft his heart had been back then, so gentle, despite all he'd been through.”

Family are those you choose

Stephanie Rowe is a got to author for me. It’s the people you give your heart to that are truly family. Keagan proves this when he accepts that Gabriella is his daughter, only moments after saving her, no questions asked. “She claimed me, and I claimed her, so yeah. Mine.” The characters in this book really make the story all the more special. We all need a friend like Jocie who will tell you to take a chance on love because it’s worth it and at the same time tell your teenager “Anytime you want to disobey your mom, you go right ahead and do it. You have great instincts.” Kids need to hear that they can be their own person and make their own decisions and they most likely won’t hear from this parents. Gabby is a teenager through and through. Holds her mother to her promises, snarky, no it all, and absolutely lovable. “Tada! You guys made me that night. Merry Christmas, Dad.” How could you not love a character who introduces herself that way?! Life happens quickly in this book, it’s a page turner and you’ll want to stay up late just to keep up.

Keegan and Sofia met as teenagers and only knew each other for a week. But it was long enough. 17 years later, after using all the resources at his find Sofia, only to be told that she’d died not long after they’d met, along with her baby. Except…she didn’t. And neither did her baby. Their baby. On her 16th birthday, Gabby finally gets Sofia to tell her who her biological dad is, and this sets off a chain of events that attract the notice of a dangerous man that Sofia has been hiding from all this time. I’m her fear of this man - for herself and for Gabby - Sofia’s instincts are to run and hide. From the man that’s a danger to her, and the man that loves her. Excellent story, with a lot packed into a short time.

What could be better than a billion Cowboy who loves to bake. He’s sweet kind and still in love with the girl who he hasn’t seen in 17 years. This book has so many great things about it. Just loved the story.
Love a romance that helps put you in the holiday mood.
