Borrowing Trouble (#12, Texas Trouble) **NEW RELEASE ON 5/26/14**
Carrie Collins has been trying to hold it together for three years, since her husband Sean was killed in the line of duty during an undercover drug operation gone bad. If that and the mountain of bills she was left with weren’t bad enough, her son becomes mixed up with the wrong crowd at school. Carrie feels like a failure as a mother, and does the only thing she can think of to fix things, she goes back to her parent’s ranch.
Her dead husband’s best friend, the man accused, but later exonerated of, Sean’s murder shows up at the ranch with his new wife and offers her a break from the kids and the craziness of her life. Carrie is reluctant to accept, but he won’t take no for an answer. She goes to the R & R Ranch, but doesn’t find relaxation there. What she finds is a tall, charismatic ex-rodeo cowboy who not only ties her emotions in more knots than his lasso, he wakes up her dormant libido.
Carrie fights the attraction, because the last thing she needs is a man like Dylan Thomas in her life, a tumbleweed kind of guy who tells her in no uncertain terms he isn’t looking for a relationship. She knows her kids deserve better and so does she. Her kids aren’t there though, and the temporary fantasy he represents becomes too much to resist.
Dylan Thomas wants nothing more than to return to competitive bull riding after an almost career-ending injury landed him at the R & R Ranch teaching rich greenhorns to ride bulls. A year and a half of catering to those wealthy snobs has him bored and restless, until a curvy brunette convinces him it might not be so bad to hang around for a little while longer.
Carrie Collins takes hard to get to an olympic-class level though, and it takes everything in Dylan’s bag of tricks to get close to her. When things finally heat up between them, he finds out there are a couple of things she hasn’t told him about. Like the two kids she has who show up at the ranch, and the job she has accepted there.
His temporary fling with the cute ranch guest suddenly gets a lot more complicated and permanent. Especially when former associates of her son turn up at the ranch demanding money she doesn’t have. Dylan knows then he’s borrowed a helluva lot of trouble he didn’t need in his life by getting involved with her, but when the opportunity to leave presents itself, how can he leave her in danger?
REVIEW
Becky has done it again with the TROUBLE series, she has written a great and exciting book with characters that we have learned to love and new characters. I would bet that the next few books are with Dylan's brothers.
Borrowing Trouble brought together Dylan and Carrie. Carrie has been through a lot with her husband being killed by a partner and her son trying to do his bit by trying to help but causing Carrie grief and stress.
Dylan thought that with his upbringing he would never love anyone and would live a life on his own. He didn't realise that he had 'family' right under his nose and didn't know it until it was nearly too late.
Dylan learns that love can come in many forms. Carrie and her children get under his skin and it isn't until he walks away that he realises that he can be loved and love others. Trouble finds Carrie before Dylan can truly confess to Carrie but that doesn't stop him for trying.
This is a great read and brings together Texas, cowboys, trouble and love. What a great combination and Becky certainly knows how to draw out the emotions and problems of people and help solve them by drawing you into the story.
Keep the stories coming Becky!!!
