A Rancher’s Redemption
Ann Roth
Harlequin American Romance, Oct 7 2014, $5.50
ISBN: 9780373755417
Since they became friends attending high school in Prosperity,
Montana over a decade and half ago, Nick Kelly and Dani Pettit have relied on
each other when things go wrong especially in their love life; although this
happens to her (several times a years) than him (once). The rancher and the heir to Big Mama’s Café
know a shared brick of ice cream goes a long way to mend a broken heart.
However this is the first time that each has need of a pity party
at the same time. When they snuggle and
kiss, Nick and Dani are stunned by their respective reactions and an abiding
fear that they risk their friendship if they pursue romance; yet not to try
leaves the elephant in the room.
The second thirty-something Prosperity, Montana romance (see A Rancher’s Honor) is a likable contemporary as the
leads struggle to adjust to a new paradigm of becoming Friends and Lovers that
each prefers never happened. Although
Dani’s behavior seems more like a young teen in first love rather than a mature
adult, readers will enjoy this drama; as the stars learn “…in our hearts we
agree; We don't have to be one or the other, Oh no we could be both to each
other” (Days of Our Lives’ Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson song Friends and
Lover)
