BLURB

He needs her to save his career. She needs to watch him suffer first. But some grudges come wrapped in red lace and go down just like whiskey—burning, dirty, unforgettable.

Wyatt Houston broke me with his cowboy grit and filthy promises. Now I’m supposed to save his career.

It’ll be a cold day in Hell.

He’s the only man to ruin me so thoroughly I still taste the ash.

But my family? They're relentless.

They ask why I won’t help, but I can’t exactly confess how my brother’s best friend was my first everything.

Or all the nights I snuck into his bed.

Or how he used my heart like a stepping stone to fame.

I swore I’d never again crave the way his voice drops when he’s angry.

I’d forget the hands that once worshipped me like a sin.

So I’ll just stay professional.

Yet when he looks at me like I’m the only thing he's ever wanted to ride hard and claim twice, I remember exactly how I broke.

God help me. I might cave and let him do it again.

Holiday Rider is a slow-burn, steamy standalone featuring a billionaire heroine, a bull rider, a second-chance romance, and a sizzling frenemies-to-lovers twist. When the woman he lost but never stopped wanting is the only one who can save his career, he'll risk everything to win her back. Only this time, he means forever.

This is a new author for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our first read by them. I haven't read many holiday-themed romances before, but we decided to make a change this year and dive into something new. We are really glad we chose this story to start our new adventure. It was the perfect story to begin with.

Willow and Wyatt share a history where Wyatt once broke her heart. When she is unexpectedly assigned to work with him as a client, she initially refuses due to their past. However, the chemistry they once shared still sizzles below the surface. The witty banter between Wyatt and Willow is delightful, with him being charming and her being sassy and fiery. Their dynamic is engaging and entertaining.

The cast of characters in the story is wonderful and engaging. It is full of emotion, second chances, drama, owning your mistakes, love, family, change, and revealing secrets.

We love Wyatt and Willow as a couple; they are perfect for each other, and their chemistry is off the charts. Despite the challenges ahead of them, their love survived their years apart, giving them a fighting chance to get it right this time around.

This is a great holiday read.

Release Tour for Snowed in with the Rancher by Whitley Cox

Title: Snowed in with the Rancher

Series: A Young Sisters Novel

Author: Whitley Cox

Genre/Tropes: Christmas, Western, Cowboy Romance 

Release Date: March 4, 2023

Can her ray of sunshine melt his icy heart?

Recently dumped by her boyfriend, Triss Young accepts the unexpected offer from her best friend to travel to Colorado and spend Christmas with Hannah and her uncles. But when Triss’s plane lands in Denver and Hannah’s is rerouted because of snow, Triss heads to the ranch alone and is surprised when a blue-eyed, sexy rancher with dog tags answers the door.

Grumpy rancher Asher Harris doesn’t know what to make of the beauty who showed up on his doorstep at midnight, covered in snow and hell-bent on snuggling goats. He’s got a lot of work to do on the ranch and doesn’t have time to entertain, even though he can think of a few ways he and Triss could stay warm.

However, this Christmas seems to be full of surprises for everyone, as Triss proves herself to not only be a natural with the horses, but she’s up for anything—even mucking stalls. Is she also the breath of fresh air and happiness Asher didn’t know he needed?

Footsteps echoed on the other side of the door and the porch light flicked on just before the big solid oak door was yarded open to reveal a shirtless man, not much older than Triss, wearing flannel pajama pants. He had abs for days, dog tags hanging between his pecs, a scowl on his face, and confusion in his dark blue eyes.

Was she at the right house?

Hannah said she was coming to spend Christmas with her uncles. This man could not be Hannah’s uncle. Not when he should be on the cover of some firefighters with kittens calendar. Or in this case, cowboys with baby goats calendar.

His eyes traipsed down her body. “Who are you?” Dear God, his voice was exactly what she’d expect from a cowboy. Sex and rasp.

She swallowed, trying her hardest to keep her eyes on his face, not his six-pack. “I’m Triss. Hannah’s friend.”

His brows scrunched. “Hannah’s flight had to turn around.”

“Did it?” She checked her phone, though she realized the moment she did it that it wouldn’t do her any good. Not only would Hannah not be able to text her if she was still in the air, but Triss’s phone had up and died on her journey from the road. “Fuck,” she muttered, stowing her phone back in her pocket. “Are you Hannah’s cousin?”

He shook his head which caused the porch light to catch on a thick white scar on his chin and make it glow. “Uncle.”

If the other uncle was just as young and hot, Triss was going to have a heart attack.

“She did tell you I was coming, right?”

He shook his head.

“Fuck.”

“For Christmas?” he asked.

She nodded. “Yeah. Hannah invited me to join her here with you and … your brother? For Christmas.” At the mention of his brother, Triss tried to see around the man’s big frame into the house and whether another one just like him was lurking in the shadows.

“Nate’s in Texas. Took a yearling down there few days ago, got stuck in the snow.”

“And you are?”

“Asher.”

A man of very few words.

“Well … uh … I flew in from Baltimore. Hannah’s my best friend and …” She glanced back toward the road. “My cabby made me walk from the road. After I paid triple the fare to get here.”

All Asher did was scratch at his bristly jaw, the sound of his nails on those short wiry hairs doing all kinds of strange things to Triss’s lower belly.

Was he going to invite her in?

His eyes bore holes into her face for a solid thirty seconds, causing heat to worm through her until her hands grew sweaty in her gloves. Then, finally when she wasn’t sure if he’d slam the door in her face or not, he opened it wider and stepped to the side. “Come in.”

“Thank you,” she murmured, awkwardly tugging her suitcase over the threshold and stepping into the dark, sparsely decorated farmhouse. It was warm inside, which she realized was from a wood stove in the corner of the living room. A window in the wood stove door was the only light in the room, its orange flames making the area around it glow.

She tugged off her gloves and removed her hood from her head, apologizing when a few droplets of water from it were flicked onto his hard chest.

“Guest room is down the hall. Bathroom is beside it,” he said, jerking his scarred chin in that direction. Then before she could ask him any more questions, he turned away from her and padded his big bare feet up the creaky wooden staircase that led to darkness. A second later, she heard a door close, only then did she release the breath that had snagged in her throat when she saw that butt in those pajama pants.

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.
