Synopsis:
Wrangler’s Creek’s most eligible bad boy has just become its most eligible single dad.
Dylan Granger could always count on his rebellious-cowboy charm to get his way—until the day his wife, Jordan, left him and joined the military. The realization that during a wild night he got her cousin pregnant is shocking enough. But the news that Jordan has come home to Texas to help raise the baby is the last thing he expects.
Raising a baby with Dylan in Wrangler’s Creek is a life Jordan might’ve had years ago, but she doesn’t want regrets. She wants what’s best for the child—and to find out if there’s something deeper between her and her ex than blazing-hot chemistry. Getting closer means letting down her guard to Dylan again, but will he be able to accept the emotional scars on her heart?

Dylan Granger is having a bad day. It started with a naked woman asleep in his bed and reaches its peak when a social worker drops his apparent son on his doorstep because the toddler's mother has just been arrested.
If this sounds like your sort of choc-a-plot, read on. This book is full of twists and turns - multiple marriage proposals, custody suits, interfering family of all sorts, cameos from previous books I haven't read, and endless drives back and forth to the prison to talk some sense into Adele, the mother in question.
Somewhere in the middle of this mess are Dylan and his ex-wife Jordan, who also happens to be Adele's older cousin. It's pretty obvious that their chemistry is off the charts, but they've tried the marriage thing before, and it didn't work out

I would've liked to see more of the kid and less of the sprawling supporting cast - I know later books in romance series run into it but it seemed almost every character was visiting from their own book or being set up for one. I also disliked how big events happened off the page and would be related in flashback form, which dilutes the impact.
I do wish the ending had been a little less sudden, but if you want a second-chance cowboy romance with tons and tons of plot, don't go past this one.
