Slow Hands Cowboy
In Mustang River when enemies become lovers — they might just cause the whole town to combust.
The last thing Walker Grayson wants to do is play host to the princess of Mustang River’s wedding. Addison Carey was relentlessly vicious to him in high school – and in his mind she’s no better now. But the wedding is going to be great publicity for his family ranch and resort – so he has to play along with making the perfect western ceremony – even riding around on horseback directing guest traffic.
The wedding day is off to a perfect start. Until the groom bolts.
Acting on instinct, Walker chases down the runaway groom on horseback and lassoes him in front of a crowd. The video goes viral overnight, turning Walker into an internet-famous cowboy and Addison into the town's most public humiliation.
With Addison's mayoral campaign hanging by a thread, she proposes a fake date the cowboy everyone is already pairing her with.
It's only for publicity.
Except the chemistry they've spent years denying is impossible to ignore.
Walker is everything Addison was raised to avoid. She has to be perfect - and Walker Grayson doesn't fit into her vision of perfect. But as fake dating starts to feel very real, can she continue to resist the man she's always wanted?
Perfect for readers who love fake dating, small-town romance, and rugged cowboys with a soft spot for the woman who got away.

Meant for each w
Walker and Addison had always had a thing for each other. Once Addison's wedding was a disaster Walker wanted to help her. While being together they realised their feelings were the beginning of a wonderful loving relationship.

perfect!
Now that’s what a romance novel is supposed to be like. Two broken people with a past history, needing to heal but not sure how. Passion that is better together than they ever felt apart. And riding into the sunset…together HEA.

cowboy with a lasso!
Loved the very unique opening and I really enjoyed the story of Addison and Walker - their story coming full circle from their youth.

Walker's story is wonderful. 4 stars for the storyline.
0 stars for the editing... Took away from the reading experience and made some passages challenging, especially dialogue.
