Jake Matheson can’t get Hannah Ashton out of his mind, and he can’t wait to take over the reins at his family’s ranch, either. Too bad Hannah is about to leave town and his father, Holt, has no intention of retiring. In fact, he’s issued an ultimatum–convince Hannah to wed in thirty days, or forget about ever running the ranch. Jake would do just about anything to keep her in Chance … Creek–anything but mess with their birth control.
Hannah has never been able to control herself around Jake, so when fate throws her together with him, she makes the most of it. Why not have a short-lived fling before she leaves town to go to veterinary school? But when their birth control fails it seems all too convenient a way to keep her in town when she’s determined to leave.
Will the truth bring them together? Or tear them apart for good?

In the previous book you will remember Hannah’s bison was sort of the heroine. Now owned by Hannah and named Gladys, the bison resides on the Double Bar K. Every morning Hannah visits Gladys before heading to work and Jake always seems to join her. This morning is going to be different, Jake’s father, Holt, is on the warpath because Jake isn’t doing things in the order his father says they should be done.
Jake is given an ultimatum, similar to the one given to Rob. His timeline however is much shorter, only thirty days. It seems Holt isn’t just going to leave it at Jake though. He also issues an ultimatum to Hannah. One she hasn’t a clue of how to meet.
It’s while the two of them are at the Cruz’s for poker night that the answer comes in an unusual way. A family reunion books the the house and Hannah, Fila and Mia will need other lodging.
Now reporting to Holt seems like such an intrusion into her life, but she can’t lose Gladys and she has feelings for Jake that she would like to explore further. However, Hannah has goals and if Jake can’t support them they can’t have a future together.
I loved seeing all the characters especially Bella and Evan, who offer more than one solution to this couple’s problems.
Plenty of family drama as Holt interferes yet again, I really feel sorry for his wife Lisa. She has to try to control these ridiculous impulse of his.
Laughter and tears, romance and sizzle, plus a couple of scares.
I’ve already started the next book, I love these cowboys!
Have read this series. Love all her books . Can’t put them down.
Another great story for the Cowboys Of Chance Creek. Two things I really liked about Jake & Heather: Heathers determination to continue her plans for school. And both of their out of the box thinking to find a resolution.
Uh yeah I didn’t really care for this one. Holt(Jake, Rob, Ned, and Luke’s father) really ticked me off with his blackmailing, manipulative self. I didn’t find it cute that he was old and sad so he blackmailed and did his kids dirty to get his way. I thought it was disgusting. I also didn’t like Hannah. The whole story she goes on and on about how Jake is selfish and how he wouldn’t compromise because he didn’t love her, but she was the selfish one that didn’t compromise at all. Jake was always going on about how they will figure it out together. He supported her dreams even though he didn’t want to be apart from her for 4 years and she was the unyielding one. She was also immature and kind of a jerk. Just sayin’! I don’t know why Jake wanted her she was always snapping at him and yelling about her dreams, her plans, and how they will never work out. I didn’t believe she loved Jake at all and I felt sorry for Jake. While I do like the series as a whole this one was a miss for me. On to the next one!!
