After years in the city Kate Randolph has come home to take care of her ailing father, only to find local cowboy Jace Carpenter in charge of her father’s ranch. Jace isn’t sure what to make of Kate, but he’s dealing with big changes in his own life since his family ranch was sold. Can a prodigal daughter and a restless cowboy turn the bad hand life has dealt them into a winning combination?

Short, sweet and satisfying! With the first novella in the COWBOY KISSES anthology, Cindi Myers brings us a story of finding love when you least expect it! The characters are easy to connect with, the story line is fast paced and complete. The ending was abrupt, and I would have enjoyed more time with them, but that’s generally the case with a novella length story. A fun read!

When Kate Randolph returns home to take care of her ailing father, she never expects to find all that she’s been looking for right in front of her. She gets to spend time with her dad, she gets to get her foot in the door to a new business idea, and best of all, she gets to reconnect with an old acquaintance who makes her pulse race every time he’s near!

Rancher Jace Carpenter is going through a bit of adjustment himself since his parents sold the ranch he always thought would be in the family forever, but being on the Rocking R when Kate arrives back home turns out to be a blessing in disguise! Now if only he can convince her that this small town living with a cowboy all her own is all that she needs in life!

In the new Play-by-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Final Score, opposites attract when a figure skater and hockey player lace up their skates--and go for the gold...

Will "Mad Dog" Madigan is making his second trip to the Winter Games, and he couldn't be happier. Hockey is his life and playing for the U.S. team is a privilege. Then he meets U.S. figure skater Amber Sloane. She's beautiful, ambitious and driven--everything Will desires in a woman. He would love to show Amber how hot life off the ice can be.

Amber has skated her entire life, sacrificing everything in the hopes of one day winning gold. Now she's competing for the third and final time. She intends to win, and nothing's going to get in her way--until she meets Will. He's an irresistible charmer, and before long Amber is wondering if this sexy hockey player is the perfect guy to show her some moves outside the rink.

But after all the medals have been awarded, Will and Amber will have to decide if what they have together is just a fling or a real shot at true love.

What a great book to read RIGHT NOW! I had such a blast reading this book while watching the Olympic’s on TV and imagining such things happening there. The characters hook you quickly and the story line is sweet, sassy and competitive!

Hockey extraordinaire Will “Mad Dog” Madigan is extremely proud to represent the US in the Vancouver Winter Games and plans to have the time of his life while he’s there. He’s a friendly guy and the life of the party so it’s not a surprise that everyone wants to party with Will!

Figure skater Amber Sloane is back for her final attempt at bringing home the gold. She’s decided to make this third trip to the Games her very best, and meeting Will early on puts her on the right track. Their attraction to each other proves to be a bit of a distraction, but their early devotion to supporting each other’s journey helps keep them focused on what they’re really there for!
