The final Sinclaire brother, Ben and the only Hansen daughter, Hope get their second chance at love in this book. You know this is going to be a really great romance when Ben rebuilds the treehouse to show Hope how much she means to him…and it does not disappoint at all!
Their story is so touching that you crave for them to find a way to make all the theirs dreams and desires come true. The drama and pace of their story keeps you on the edge of your seat. You want to know what Hope is keeping secret. Could it be so bad that she feels no one will love her, especially Ben when the truth is revealed? Ben knows there’s something that Hope keeps deep down inside herself and he is hurt and disappointed that Hope no longer confides in him like she did when they were younger.
I highly recommend this book as well as the series. Cowboy romances didn’t really intrigue me until I started with this series and now I can’t read them fast enough. I love the Sinclaires, Hansens and the town of Prairie!
Second chances and forgiveness wraps up a wonderful life together. This is a great book! Must read!
Ben and Hope have big secret, they have been friends for years but never said a word to anyone because of the feud between their families.
As children they built a treehouse together, just out of sight of either family. When he hears she’s coming home, Ben visits it he finds it destroyed. In that moment he decides to rebuilt it.
There was more there though, Ben had rejected Hope when she asked him to be her first lover. After reconsidering, he returned to hear her with someone else in their space and once again left.
Now it’s going to take a lot to mend this but her brothers inadvertently help her when they do the unspeakable. They take out a personal ad for her in Ranchers Monthly.
Paybacks are a bitch and revenge is best served cold. I loved Hope’s revenge.
She also is hiding something and that could ruin her relationship with Ben.
I laughed a lot, sniffled a little and enjoyed every page of this book!
I have been WAITING semi patiently for this book. I have really liked Ben in the other books and couldn’t wait to find out what was going on with him. I think I can relate to him the most being the peacemaker.
I bet every one of us made a decision as a kid that we wish we could go back and redo. Ben made a split-second decision concerning Beth and it has haunted him for the past 8 years. When Ben finds out Hope is coming home, he is going to do everything in his power to right his wrong and get the girl back.
Eight years ago, Hope put her heart on the line and after one hot kiss, Ben shut her down. Ben was Hope’s go to guy when life got too hard and when her overbearing but lovable family was too much. He was her home just as much as the tree house they built together was. When he turned her down, she was devastated.
Hope returns home to reevaluates her life after some choices were made while she was away. It is something she wants to keep close to the vest but everyone seems to want to know what is going on. With Ben looking for redemption, her brothers prank in the paper and Hope trying to decide what her next step in life is, we the readers are in for wild ride.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Hope Hansen and Ben Sinclaire are given a second chance at friendship and love in Prairie Desire, the third book in the Cowboys of Flint Hills series, by Tessa Layne. Hope left home 8 years ago for college and veterinary school. She returned home sad and defeated after dropping out. She is searching for what to do with her life, when she comes across Ben at their childhood treehouse. Can she forgive him for what he said all those years ago? Ben works on the family ranch and is envious of his brothers who have found happiness with their true loves. When he heard that Hope was coming home, he was determined to right the wrongs of his past. “He wasn’t letting Hope Hansen get away a second time.” Will the sanctuary of the treehouse bring Hope and Ben the answers they need to find love? Tessa does an excellent job of describing the true feelings of her characters. I loved Prairie Desire and I am looking forward to the next book in the series, Prairie Storm
Prairie Desire: Cowboys of the Flint Hills by Tessa Layne
This is Hope Hansen and Ben Sinclaire’s story.
Hope and Ben were friends growing up. Right before Hope went off to school they came close to crossing the friendship line. Now, it’s been eight years since that time. Hope is back but not under the circumstances she wanted. She isn’t really telling everyone the real reason she is back home.
Ben regrets what happened between him and Hope eight years ago. He feels that he let the girl of his dreams get away and wants another chance.
I loved this story! Who wouldn’t fall for Ben! He is wonderful and I loved the peace offering he did for Hope. You will have to read the book to find out what he did.
A fun and sexy second chance romance! Sit back and escape into Ben and Hope’s story. They will have you laughing at times.
FYI, contains mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
