A cowboy and a secret baby – my favorite romance tropes all wonderfully written in this heartwarming story.
What’s not to love. A hunky cowboy, a secret baby, secrets that need to be revealed.
Author Maddie James pens a great sequel tying up all the loose ends in an entertaining romp in ranch and mountain country.

Lucky this book can be read as a Stand-alone to get all the relationships. I really enjoyed the snappy dialogue but I loved the two characters Jillie and Mack. They dont have just sparks they are electric . They pop out the page.
When Jillie and Mack end their two week camping trip with friends Kim and Thad they part ways and not on good terms. They had spent two weeks sharing sleeping bags and much more then he breaks her heart by telling her it was just a fling and it is over. When their friends wedding comes around they are part of the wedding and have no choice but be in each others company. Jillie has a secret to share with Mack and he has one to share with her. What will happen will all secrets are out?

The Cowboy’s Secret Baby by Maddie James is a Colorado Dreamin’ book, sequel to Rawhide and Roses. Jillie Abernathy was on vacation in Colorado, on a trail ride that she had coerced her best friend, Kim, into taking with her. It had worked, Kim had fallen in love. The problem was, so had Jillie, but Mack Montgomery wasn’t the marrying kind so leaving, Kim with her fiancé in Colorado, Jillie took herself back to Colorado and her job as an English teacher. It was weeks later that she discovered she was pregnant, with Mack’s baby. Now she had to return to Colorado for Kim’s wedding and tell Mack the truth. He had a right to know, even if she planned to raise this baby on her own. Things got very complicated. The biggest issue was a total lack of communication between the two of them, but there were other issues as well. Could they work them out?
I love cowboy romance and this was a good one. Watching the two, each wanting the other, but refusing to say it out loud, was, at times, gut-wrenching. At other times, it was plain ridiculous. It did, however, make for a good story. There were subplot and miscues, misunderstandings. Often during the read I wondered if they could work it out. Stubbornness played a big role. All in all, this was a lovely, heart-breaking cowboy romance which in many ways was so much more. It was an all-consuming read, waiting for the two of them to work things out. I loved it. I recommend it.

I read an ARC from NetGalley.com. I had not read Roses & Rawhide (but it is up next in my Kindle), so keep that in mind when reading my unbiased and voluntary review. This is the first book that I read by this author and read it easily as a stand alone, but now want to know what exactly happened on that pack trip that sparked two romances.
Jillie Abernathy and Mack Montgomery had only known each other for 2 weeks and believed that they were in love, so Mack pushing her away and telling her it was over was a hurtful thing to do and I thought that she was better off without the jerk. But he has his own issues that he is dealing with and he is a guy, who puts his foot in his mouth a lot. Now they are both back in Colorado for their best friends wedding and have to deal with their attraction and the secrets that they are both keeping.
They author created endearing characters that the readers is rooting for to get their act together and find the courage to embrace their feelings and be honest. Vivid descriptions, snappy banter and lots of action and twists to keep the story moving.
