Rate this book
A cowboy avoiding his hometown. The woman from ten years ago. When he stumbles upon a man proposing to her, all he knows is that he has to get her back!

Kane Hardman, ex-soldier turned computer programmer billionaire, only wanted to hang out with his business partner and grow their Forbes top 100 company. When he sees the woman he never stopped loving being proposed to, he takes swift action.

Madison Knight, the head of fundraising for Texas Children’s hospital, doesn’t want to accept such a public proposal, but she feels trapped. The night gets worse when the man she’s spent the past ten years hating shows up and kisses her. Good thing she shuts him down! He broke her heart once, he doesn’t get to do it again!

When Kane offers a huge donation to the hospital, Madison’s boss gives her an assignment; take the man to the next fundraiser and help him meet women.

It takes all Madison has not to tell him the secret she hasn’t told anyone. Will Kane still love her when he knows the truth? Or will Madison be left high and dry all over again?

A note from the author:

Thanks for visiting my Goodreads page.

I wanted to tell something meaningful about myself, but let's start with the important stuff--I love swoon-worthy heroes. The kind of heroes that are strong and would take a bullet for you, but also want to open your door and listen to you pour out your heart.

What else? I grew up moving. If you’ve read my books, you won’t be surprised by this. I have a lot of moving themes through my books centered around characters experiencing pain from someone moving.

It was hard. But, I believe there’s always a seed of good that comes out of everything hard, so I think the best thing that came from it was that I learned to love books.

And I had to learn a lot of mad skills on friend making. It gave me a love of people…good people, compassionate people. Interesting people of all kinds.

What else about me? I am a mother and wife! I have four amazing boys that are like little ninjas running around. I love them so much and I’m so grateful for my amazing husband who doesn’t get intimidated by all the billionaire men in my life.

I have a fierce love of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for Him and for the healing and forgiveness I’ve gotten to experience in my life. This is a theme in many of my books.

I love being an American. I am so proud of the men and women that support and preserve our freedom. This is another theme you will find in my books.

I am so grateful for my fans and for the support and love you all show me! Don’t stop reading!

Hugs-

Taylor

This book holds a quick, easy to read story. I enjoyed it from the very first.

Kane is at a fundraising event when he happens to see the woman he loved and lost get proposed to by another man. I loved the way he didn’t let that stop him. He felt like he’d found her again for a reason. And he didn’t let her engagement stop him.

Madison is a fun character. Madison wants nothing to do with marrying the governor who’d proposed to her, but she felt like she had to with the way he proposed to her. How do you say no in front of so many people? I loved her character. She’s the kind of girl who has learned how to be herself and not worry about what others think. But the governor had paid for her mom’s surgery. And there does happen to be another little secret that makes her feel as though she has to marry him.

I loved that these two still had chemistry 10 years after they had fallen for each other. And that they both end up determined to make things work out between them, even though things keep getting between them.

This is a fun book. It made me want to read the rest of the series!

I was sent an e-copy of Her Hidden Falls Ex-Military Billionaire Cowboy as a gift from the author. All opinions are my own.

This was a beautiful, romantic, second chance love story that I could not put down until I had read the last page. The characters were so compelling that I was drawn into their story that started ten years ago. I really liked how the book would occasionally go back to the past and tell the story of how Kane met Madison when they were teenagers. It really helped to understand their story ten years later and why Kane became the man he was today. I liked the chemistry between the two characters and all of the obstacles in their way of picking up where they left off. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Excellent Book

The plot of this story was great. The characters brought life into each page. Madison Knight. the great fundraiser for hospitals in Texas thought she would never see Kane Knight again after he left her a break up letter ten years before. They fell in love as teenagers & got into trouble. Her father who was rich locked her up in a private school & Kane went into the military. Madison’s dad had pain Kane off to leave his daughter alone. Kane only took the money to save his mother from cancer but it didn’t work. A must read book to fill in all the exciting gaps in this story.

What happens when choices are forced on you?
Ten years ago, Kane was forced to leave Madison, the girl he loved, to try to save his mother. Now on a business event he sees the girl he still loves as she is proposed to in front of an audience. Madison was forced to leave Kane when her parents enrolled her in a boarding school that acted more as a prison for her. Now she is being forced into a marriage she does not want. Kane loves her and she still loves him. The person keeping him away is no longer alive. But will she have the strength she needs to stand up to the people trying to force her especially when a surprise is waiting in the wings?

Her Hidden Falls Ex Military Billionaire Cowboy is an excellent. second chance romance. Disregard those poor reviews. Right under the tagline it says that this is a rewrite of Her First Love Billionaire so there should not be poor ratings because of that. Ms. Hart always manages to tell a riveting tale. Madison and Kane met as teens, fell in love and were separated by her parents. Ten years later Kane sees her accept a proposal from Houston's mayor. Stunned to find her, he decides to fight for her. The story unfolds beautifully with flashbacks to the summer when they met. I read straight through because I could not put it down.

Wow, what a book! This story will keep you riveted to each page. I couldn’t put it down. It is written with “today-time” and “looking-back-time” but it all works great. Kane, ex-soldier now a wealthy tech guy, can’t forget his first and only love. There have been twists and turns in his life, but, she is still his only love. Madison hasn’t had total control of her life because her parents took that from her. And, then, there she was, on the stage in front of him, and he couldn’t breathe. It is a great love story with touches of angst. Loved this book!

Madison’s father liked control, I’m not sure his intentions were well meaning, but I do have to wonder if Kane would have had as much success if he hadn’t been trying to prove something. I won’t even give my opinion of Madison’s mother. This is another book that I spent a lot of time yelling (mostly in my head) for Madison and Kane to just talk to each other. It was entertaining to what the two of them dance around each other and the facts. A good book and very enjoyable.

Her Hidden Falls Ex Military Billionaire Cowboy

Another great book in this series of romance involving the Hardman brothers. Kane and Madison had met years before as young people but could not continue their relationship as Madison’s parents took her back home to a boarding school. She later met Kane at a fundraiser where he had donated a large cheque to help with a wing on the hospital she worked at. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Forbidden Young Love

When Kane was young he worked at a County Club and met Madison. They fell in love over that summer. One night they got arrested for trespassing. Madison parents took her away and put her in a boarding school. Kane hasn't seen her in 10 years when there she is at a hospital fundraiser.
Can they get a second chance? Taylor has a well written story with strong and believable characters.

Loved this second chance romance with Kane and Madison who as teenagers were attracted to each other but he was employed at the resort where her and her family were staying and her parents were not happy about her relationship with him. Kane goes on to become a billionaire tech developer and ten years later at the same fund raiser meet again when she gets proposed to but Kane does not let that deter him. The story had good flow and loved the characters.

I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Taylor Hart did a great job with this book. I enjoyed both the characters and the plot. The characters and their problems caused a couple twists and turns which added to the story line. Definitely a second chance at love story.

Kane and Madison haven’t seen each other in ten years. Their second chance is jeopardized by a very public engagement to the wrong man. How Kane wins her back makes a very interesting story. I really enjoyed this book, and recommend it.

A sweet test of time and experience story. I wish she had more guts but she finally got strong in the end. Finding out manipulation was from her mother not father. I'm just glad her guy was willing to stick it out.

This Hartman brother is Kane. He is a very interesting and persistent guy. He meets up with his ex girlfriend who just got engaged. You must read this book to see how things work out. You will not be disappointed. A very good read.

I love this book. Kane and Maddie are strong characters and have great personalities. I really love the whole Hidden Falls series. The Hardman brothers stories each stand alone but they also build throughout the series so it's best to read them in order.

Kane and Madison fell in love as teenagers, but were torn apart by her parents. Years later they are different people, but still have to deal with the fallout from before. A sweet book with some plot twists to keep you interested.

I really loved it. It was a story about young love and second chances. As noted this story was reworked from a previous one, but I enjoyed the new version. This is a really sweet, clean romance.

I liked this story about a second chance at love. It is not a totally clean romance, in my opinion. There is an HEA. I received an ARC. This is my voluntary review.

I can't even imagine the shock Kane must have felt when he saw Madi again. Her life is pretty complicated, but he's persistent. I enjoyed their story and am so happy they got their HEA.

Good book.

I enjoyed the story. Well described characters with good interaction. It made sense but was not full of extra stuff that was not needed to convey a good story.

Sometimes you need a second chance at the love of your life. This book shows the power family members have over to emotionally blackmail other family members. Love lost can be reclaimed with hope and faith. Kane and Madison definitely have a story worth reading about while getting to know them. It also shows how some people with power get so caught up in controlling others rather than doing what is right. I definitely recommend this book.
