Dylan: The Secret Life of Cowboys Series, Book 2
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
The second book in C.H. Admirand's sexy Texas cowboy romance trilogy featuring three brothers who will do anything to save their family ranch.
There Was Nothing He Couldn't Tame...Until He Got His Lasso Around Her
Dylan Garahan might be an old hand at lassoing fillies, but one night at the Lucky Star club, and he ends up wrapping his rope around someone that even his formidable strength can't tame. She's wily and beautiful... and she's his new boss. Dylan's had his heart broken before, but even an honest cowpoke has to wrestle with temptation..
Ronnie DelVecchio might be fresh off the bus from New Jersey, but she's a hard-edged businesswoman and has had her fill of men she can't trust—although she might consider getting off her high horse for that big, handsome rancher with a Texas drawl.

November 7, 2011
Admirand’s second Secret Life of Cowboys contemporary western (after 2011’s Tyler) features lead characters who mistake perpetual arousal for genuine emotion, shortchanging the development of their actual romance. Ronnie DelVecchio moves to Pleasure, Tex. (population 439), from New Jersey after divorcing her cheating husband. She meets Dylan Garahan, rancher, carpenter, and part-time exotic dancer, when he lassoes her as a birthday gift from her friends. Though immediately attracted, Ronnie fears the family curse: every other generation a DelVecchio woman falls in love with an Irishman and has twins, sometimes before marriage. The sweetly aggressive Dylan pursues Ronnie, encouraged by the voice of his grandfather in his head, even though his one previous almost-love experience ended badly. The meet-too-cute, half-baked curse, endless panting lust, and insulting Texas stereotypes make for one ridiculous read.
