This book was formerly titled PRAIRIE HEAT.He Shouldn’t Want Her…Blake Sinclaire knows he shouldn’t want Maddie Hansen – she’s the daughter of his family’s enemy, and not to be trusted. It doesn’t matter she’s got a mind that won’t quit, curves for days, and a mouth that drives Blake to distraction. Her father stole his family’s land, and Blake will do anything – anything to get it back. But … anything to get it back.
But one scorching kiss changes everything…
Super-scientist Maddie Hansen vowed never to return to Prairie and the feud that’s hounded her family for generations. When she discovers the sexy cowboy who saved her father’s life is none other than Blake Sinclaire, she’s forced to reconsider everything she thought about her family’s enemy- especially when his kisses keep her awake at night. But Maddie’s determined to hold Blake at bay, because everyone knows cowboys have nothing in common with scientists. Except when it comes to matters of the heart.
Blake’s plan to reclaim his land goes haywire when white-hot kisses turn into something more, but dark secrets stand between Blake and a shot at love. When they come to light, will he lose everything he holds dear, including Maddie?
A standalone, modern-day Hatfields & McCoys filled with family feuds, fake engagements, explosive secrets, memorable side-characters, and a Happily Ever After that might just make you swoon.

Neighbors and enemies is tough, but Blake and Maddie stick it out. I love it that Blake was turned on by her blue eye glasses. Secrets are hard to keep and hard to live down when revealed. Love the brothers and their mates, I’m reading Brodie now and likimg it so far. Enjoying this series and author.
Predictable and way too graphic
I liked the flow of the book. Good read.
Hot
Great
Nothing special
I really enjoyed this book. Look forward to reading more from this author.
It was very entertaining and kept you interested until the end
Loved it and didn’t want it to end.
Love a book that makes me laugh and can have me blinking back tears!
This book just seemed to go on and on and on…….
The story plot was good but when you take out all the sex, you have next to nothing to read. I guess I didn’t see the word “steamy” in the review when I got the book. I don’t enjoy the books that are mostly sex. I read for enjoyment and entertainment and like my stories clean.
“Like spungold in the sun, like silver in the moonlight. Are you a sorceress, Maddie?” This describes the relationship between
Maddie Hansen and Blake Sinclaire in the debut romance novel, “Prairie Heat”, by Tessa Layne.
Maddie and Blake grew up together in Flint Hills, Kansas. As teenagers, Blake came to her rescue when she was being picked on.
They would have never imagined that years later, a chance meeting, would change their lives forever.
Maddie Hansen lives in Chicago, has a Phd, and is a scientist specializing in particle physics. Blake Sinclaire has an MBA, is a rancher,
and lives in their hometown with his brothers.
They run into each other in Chicago, and the sparks couldn’t fly fast enough, Maddie, “captivated and bewitched” Blake. He wanted to see
her again. He couldn’t let her disappear from his life. Maddie is unsure if she can trust him. He asked her to dance. “She tucked her hand into his. Her arm electrified and currents of awareness shot across her body.” Oh my.She is in big trouble.
A family emergency brings Maddie back to Kansas and to Blake. He helps her through a difficult time, and she appreciates his kindness, but can she trust him? She has a feeling he is keeping something from her. What could it be? Is Blake brave enough to tell Maddie his
deepest, darkest secret? Or will it ruin their chance for happiness?
I love the way Tessa uses colors to describe situations and the emotions of the characters. Her vivid descriptions of the feelings of Maddie and Blake will keep you turning the page and wanting more!!
I loved “Prairie Heat” and I am looking forward to more fun and sexy stories from Tessa Layne!
Prairie Heat by Tessa Layne is book number one in the Cowboys of the Flint Hills series. This is cowboy Blake Sinclaire and scientist Maddie Hansen’s story.
I loved this book from the start. This a great start for this series. I can’t believe this is the writer’s first book. Wow, the secrets and the steamy romance kept me on the edge of my seat. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.
I fell in love with Blake and Maddie. This is an extremely fun, steamy, and sensual romance with so many secrets. The supporting characters were great too. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. FYI, includes mature content.
