My thoughts:

Her Second Chance Cowboy is a second chance romance featuring Reese and James.  I do love this trope.  It’s always fun to see characters who had attraction as teens come together again as adults.  It’s nice to see the ways in which they have changed and grown.  For the most part. I enjoyed this story.  I did find myself rooting for the couple.  My only complaint was the pacing. I felt like it meandered a bit too much in places. There was also a lot of miscommunication between the couple.    I did enjoy the “treasure hunt”.   I also loved ending.  I don’t know if this will be a series, but I would love to see what is up with Astrid and Finn.

Book Excerpt:

She opened the driver’s side door, then turned to tell him good night. “Thanks for dinner.” Was that her voice sounding all breathy and wanton?

“You’re welcome. If you come out first thing in the morning, we can get an early start and go for a ride. And work on my great-great-grandfather’s mystery.”

“I like that idea.” Get in, Reese. Drive away. Instead, she brushed a leaf from his shoulder.

His full lips lowered to the corner of her mouth. The caress was gentle. Brief.

The simple, innocent kiss hit a switch inside her. One that hadn’t been tripped since their last kiss, over eleven years ago. One that other men had not managed to tap into. Her entire body warmed, sparking a shiver and a desire to stay, but she needed tonight to gather herself.

This was her chance to stay in the cottage and convince him she could take care of it. Not the start of a summer romance.

But could she manage a temporary romantic reunion?
