Take A Chance, Cowboy
By Lacey Wolfe
Can a city girl heal a cowboy's broken heart?
Nathan Carver gave up on love long ago after a betrayal he
wasn't sure he could ever get over. When Angie Simms arrives in town to help
his brother's fiancée with their upcoming wedding, she stirs things in him that
he hasn't felt in a long time. Things he doesn't want to feel. So he pushes her
away.
Angie wants what she wants, and doesn't always think before
she speaks. When she lays eyes on sexy cowboy Nathan, she's determined to find
out what caused his brooding attitude. She can tell right away that he's not
someone to play with. He's got a layer of hurt around his heart, which makes
him that much more attractive.
The feisty woman is determined to make Nathan her conquest,
but will he take a chance on Angie?

Excerpt
"So, cowboy." Angie set her beer bottle down. "You're halfway done with that drink and you've managed to sit with me the whole time. Now tell me about the broken heart you're still mending."
Nathan rolled his drink between his hands. "Nothing to tell."
"Quit the bullshit. Do I look like her? Remind you of her? What?" She sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. "There is some reason you dislike me."
You make me feel things. Not to mention, in some ways, her features were similar to his ex, like her long, dark hair. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She ran a hand through her hair. "Well, whoever she was, get over it."
"Why do you care so much?" He lifted the bottle to his lips, but didn't drink. "You don't know me, I don't know you. Why do you care if I've got a broken heart?"
"Because you're taking it out on me."
He shook his head and finished the beer. That was his last one for the evening. He stared at Angie. She had a point that he'd been rude to her on numerous occasions, but he hadn't intentionally meant to hurt her feelings. "I apologize."
She smiled, her red lips parting. She had one of those contagious grins, because he felt his spread across his face.
"Now that is sexy. I can see why the girls would fall for you." She winked.
"What?"
She leaned forward, and he caught a glimpse down her shirt again. "Your smile. It could make a woman fall to her knees."
I want you on your knees. He wasn't sure how to respond.
"Now that you're in a better mood, want to tell me how I can make you like me?"
There was nothing she needed to do. He liked her plenty. "I don't have an issue with you."
She shrugged and stood. "Okay, whatever." She rubbed his shoulder. "I'm going to find me a handsome man to dance with."
He grabbed her wrist and she stared back at him.
"What? Did you want to be that handsome man?" She tried to look innocent, but the tease knew what she did to him.
Yes, yes he did. He wanted to take her on that dance floor and mold her body to his and let everyone in this place know she was off limits. "Nah, I'm heading out. Just be careful. Some of these guys think dancing should lead to other things."
She raised an eyebrow. "Good to know." She moved close to his ear. "I am looking for a good time."
Something tore loose in Nathan and he stood, pulling her against him. Without another thought, he claimed her lips. She went still in his arms, but then, as he expected, she grabbed hold of him and thrust her tongue in. The taste of beer met his senses and he laced a hand around her neck. She moaned as she lifted up on her toes to make the kiss deeper.
Review
What a great story this is! As a fan of Lacey, I have been impatiently waiting for this second installment of the Carver Ranch Series. I knew I was going to like Nathan's story, but I really loved it.
Nathan is defiantly a cowboy that I could love. The way he loves, with all his heart, is endearing. Angie is strong and independent, a women that goes after what she wants. Together, they are force to be reckoned with.
Their instant attraction and sexy banter heat up the pages; the story captures the readers from the start until the end. The appearances of Tucker, Lauren and the other Carver family members were an added bonus.
I am loving the Carver brothers and can't wait until the next installment of this series. Lacey's storytelling is amazing and look forward to her upcoming projects.
Counting Cowboys
Can a hot cowboy convince Lauren to stay in Texas and take another chance
on love?
Tucker Carver likes to have fun and has no intention of settling down anytime
soon. He handles the business side of Carver Ranch for his family, and on the
day he's scheduled to meet with their accountant, he instead meets a beautiful
woman who changes everything.
Lauren Ford packed up and moved to Texas to start over after her fiancé had
an affair with her best friend. Her father's retiring and has offered to let her
take over his accounting firm. When she meets Tucker she's immediately taken
with him, despite his reputation as a ladies' man. Knowing she isn't looking for
love, or even if she wants to stay in Texas, she decides to have fun with Tucker
and keep her feelings at bay.
After one taste of Lauren, Tucker has other plans. Lauren is the woman he
wants, but for some reason she's resisting. And it doesn't help when her
ex-fiancé shows up in town wanting her to go back to Georgia with him. Can
Tucker convince her that his feelings are true, or will he lose her forever?

Excerpt
Lauren stared at the papers in front of her, but none of it registered. All
she could focus on was the half naked man. The hot, sweaty, tanned man who was
now naked in his shower only feet away from her.
She shook her head and rubbed her thighs. Enough. It wasn't like
Tucker was the first sexy man she'd seen. She wasn't blind or innocent, but
something about him got her panties moist quick. Hopefully, she could make it
through this accounting meeting without ripping her own clothes off and offering
herself up to him. She had no doubt he would be an awesome lover. The man worked
with his hands all day; surely he knew a thing or two that could please her.
Seriously, enough.
Lauren straightened her back and stared at the stack of papers he'd given
her. There were receipts, printouts, and such. Tucker seemed to keep good
records, so that would make things easier. She removed her computer from her bag
and turned it on. After she pulled up the file for Carver Ranch, she studied it
once more to familiarize herself with it.
This was a profitable ranch. Last year had been one of their roughest years,
but so far, this year was already better. She was sure once she started to fill
in the stuff he'd supplied her with, she'd see they'd come back strong from the
previous year.
"Everything there?"
Lauren jumped in her seat.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."
Tucker, now dressed, came over and sat next to her. Whatever soap he'd used
attacked her senses in a good way. How did someone get out of the shower, yet
still smell like fresh cut pines?
She shouldn't do it, but she did anyway. She let her gaze wander over his
body. The black t-shirt he wore hugged his wide chest, letting her get the full
view of his muscles.
Lauren looked away quickly. "Yeah, I think this is it." She flipped through
the stack. "You're free to do whatever while I do this. I know you've got a lot
to do."
"Can I get you something to drink?" He stood, and her focus went straight to
his crotch.
Oh God. She glanced up quick to see him smirking. The man knew he was sex on
a stick with his sandy blond hair and blue eyes. "Do you have some tea?"
"Sweet?"
"Uh, yeah."
He winked. "I'll be back."
"Take your time." The farther away he was, the more she could concentrate on
her work. She wasn't sure what had come over her, but the sooner she got done
with this job, the better. Then she wouldn't have to see him again until next
quarter.
