[Debbie Heaton · Rating 3 out of 5]

In Warren’s romance novel, Luke Chisum has spent his life running from his past but a family crisis brings him home to River Bluff. Back home again, he must face the woman he left and still loves. Sixteen years ago Luke dated Becky on a dare and broke her heart and destroyed her trust. Being back home opens a door for them to rekindle their feelings but Becky has kept his child a secret from him. One must read to discover if they can survive the secrets that lie between them or be doomed to remain forever apart.

A nice addition to the Cowboy at Heart series.

Are we trying to KILL the hero?! Jeez, his life, all aspects are in crazy chaos. We needed to drop 1 of the huge reveals it was just too much for one character to handle. Heroine came off as a push over and then holds a grudge when HER secret was way worse. She needs to chill. I did like her struggle with having a teenage son, as a single mom whew that can’t be easy. But over all too much in one book. Skip.
