Status Updates From A Montana Cowboy

Off-page sex.

Kiss.

He needed to put the desire to make love to her behind him. They'd start fresh at breakfast.

You're ENGAGED to ANOTHER WOMAN. Geez Louise.

How could this be happening to her? She was pregnant with her husband's child, and Trace was planning to marry another woman in the near future. Why was she so susceptible to him? Maybe she would feel this way around any attractive man now that Logan was gone.

Give yourself some credit.

It was just his depression talking.

He doesn't seem depressed to me. At all.

Nicci still wasn't ready to fly over, which made their conversation more troubling to him than ever. She was a fiery, exciting woman who'd been pampered all her life and felt perfectly safe in her sheltered environment.

The accident that had changed his life had shaken her to the core. To live with him in Colorado away from her family was so frightening to her, she couldn't face it.

He understood. This would ask

He has this spoiled, socialite Italian girlfriend whom he says the sex is incredible with. Kind of different for a romance novel.

He acts interested in her sonogram and tells her it's 'incredible.' He didn't even father the baby and I find this hard to believe.

She's pregnant?!!?!

She was amazing. He decided there wasn't anything she couldn't do in spite of her pain. He started down the hall to his room when he heard anguished sobs coming from the other side of Cassie's door. It tore his guts out. He felt guilty as hell. Not only had he devastated his father with his unwelcome news, Trace was now forcing Cassie to find a new job while she was still grief-stricken over the loss of her husband.

This book is FILLED with info dumps on the families in the town a nd all the history and feuds. Too much to keep straight and I don't know why I need to know all that. Thought this was a standalone.

"I'm having a girl. He gave me a picture of the sonogram."
"I've never seen one. You'll have to show it to me." He moved next to her so they could look at it together. "That's incredible," he said in a husky voice. "Did you and Logan pick out names for the baby before he died?"
"I didn't learn I was pregnant until a few weeks after his death."
"That's tough. I'm sorry. You really are doing this on your own."

"I'm very sorry to hear of your husband's unexpected passing."
"Thank you. I'm sorry to learn of your eye injury. Are you in pain?"
"No."
"Thank goodness for that at least. Life throws all of us a curve once in a while, one we weren't expecting."
"You're right about that." Their losses were different. Though his career was over, he could still see with a corrective lens. Her loss had to be excruciating.
