Tessa's Pride (Novella)

Author: Olivia Brynn
Publisher: Carina Press

Two years after leaving home to make his own fortune, Joshua Bradley has finally returned to the Bradley Equine Ranch—and to Tessa McCade, the sexy ranch manager with whom he shared a single steamy tryst.

Tessa now owns the ranch like she’s always dreamed—but it’s in trouble. Dozens of horses have been lost and she’s on the brink of bankruptcy. To save his family’s business, Josh offers to buy it from her…and share the ranch house with her once again.

Tessa chafes at needing Josh’s help, but she’s never forgotten the taste of pleasure Josh gave her so long ago. Soon, neither of them can resist the desire mounting between them, and unleash a passion that is even more powerful than Tessa’s pride…

I love novellas because they are perfect for those times when you want something quick that doesn't require a lot of time and effort. I did enjoy Tessa's Pride. While I didn't like Tessa much (I thought she was a bit wimpy in the beginning) I did like Josh's character. The plot was interesting,and there was just enough of a back story for both Josh and Tessa to make me happy. So many times novellas leave me wanting more. Ms. Brynn did a good job with the love scenes as they were tastefully done. I definitely recommend this one!
