Review: Borrowed Cowboy by Parker Kincade

Paxton Mathis is committed to bachelorhood. One failed marriage was more than enough to remind him of the dangers of getting too close. He has his work on the ranch; he has his family. He has everything he needs. 

Event planner Reese Jameson accepted the job at Shadow Maverick Ranch for one reason: to face her biggest regret. Paxton Mathis was her first love, her first everything. And ten years ago, after a night of unbridled passion, it all came crashing down.

The moment they see each other again, it’s clear the years haven’t doused the heat between them. On the contrary, their flames burn hotter than ever. Despite Paxton’s attempts to keep things casual, old feelings emerge alongside a fierce hunger to keep Reese in his life forever. Reese willingly accepts Paxton’s need to keep things casual, but she’s worried her heart won’t get the message. 

When Paxton is forced to face his fears, will history repeat itself, or will he take a chance on a whole new future?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This is the second book in the Shadow Maverick Ranch series by Parker Kincade and it was just as good as the first. This was a sweet erotic read that had two friends and lovers from the past re-unite. I love these kinds of stories as the characters already have their own brand of special chemistry between them.

Pax has issues, he doesn’t know how to love or trust anymore. My heart ached for him. Underneath all of that tough, I don’t care attitude he is a strong, passionate and very sexy Alpha male and when he encounters his childhood friend Reese again he knows exactly what he wants, Her! Reese is a strong, smart and independent woman, she is anxious about being back at the Shadow Maverick Ranch and seeing Pax again. When they were younger they had a true friendship and trust built between them, but when tragedy strikes they lose everything they had built with each other. 10 years later and their feelings are still strong and they can’t seem to resist each other. The passion and the sex was smoking hot between them, Pax is definitely what a woman wants in her bed!

This is a story about love and understanding, forgiveness and passion. Learning to trust again is hard. Pax and Reese both have issues to deal with and neither is perfect. The author gives us real characters, they are interesting, and ultimately flawed in all the right ways. I love that we also get glimpses of Gavin and Lauren from the first book and how their story is progressing.

Even though this was a shorter novella, the storyline was fantastic and it was very well developed. It gives you a more in-depth look into the Mathis family. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. This book delivered everything you want in a romance. I would definitely recommend this book.
