Harley and Grant had wonderful time five years ago. Now, Harley is back to Royal, with a secret, Grant never knew about.
I loved this story. Loved how Harley had to leave Royal to grew up and become better person.
Awesome!!!
Life changing secrets are exposed! With the third book in the always dramatic Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rags To Riches series Cat Schield brings us a forbidden love/secret child mash up and it’s pretty epic! The characters are attention grabbing, the plot is fast paced and exciting and the connection they establish while reawakening their passion for each other is so much fun to read! We don’t move forward that much in the ongoing suspense of the series, but the happily ever after produced in this book alone is spot on. Looking forward to the next in the series!
Harley Wingate might be hard to redeem to some because of the secrets that she kept, but I found her endearing. She left town after an explosive weekend with Grant five years ago and now her return from Thailand might be precipitated by needing to work on funding for her charity endeavors, but the visit is past due in introducing her son to his father.
Grant Everett believes he’s not made for family happiness, but it doesn’t take long as a reader to see the good in him. He can’t believe Harley has kept his son from him for all of these years, but he finds it easier to forgive than he expected as he listens to her and gets to know her version of the world.
I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys action filled sagas of love, lust and revenge.
Grant is a fertility specialist and a member of The Texas Cattleman’s Club and work as always come first but not tonight as he decides to come to this event for a reason. Harley is a fashion designer and help women get out of poverty and she at this event to show off the latest designs for her non profit organisation Zest and to raise funds to keep it going. Grant and Harley spent a weekend together years ago but when Grant found out Harley’s age he pushed her away as there was a thirteen year age gap, so everything ended on a bitter note. Five years later and Harley is back but will Grant see her for who she is now or will the age gap still be a problem for him and for them to get a second chance at forever. There chemistry and connection was still as strong and hot as it was before but things are different now and priorities change. Omg i loved this book so much as it was a real page turner and so addictive. Cat Schield is an amazing author and writer and i can not wait to read more of her books. I recommend you read this book and you will not be disappointed.

An amazing weekend, a misunderstanding, anger.
5 years later they meet again the same sparks are there can there be a second chance or will the same issues end them before they move forward.
Feelings are what are the main focus in this story, those of safety, acceptence, self awareness, rejection, and fear. The things we all deal with, and have to reconcile within ourselves to have anyvrelationship.

Harley returns home with Daniel. Grant reluctantly reconnects with Harley. He only offers to give her the physical, not the emotional part of a relationship. Considering the age difference, Harley is a lot more mature than Grant, and handles difficult situations in the best way possible.

Harley was torn between two loves, the for son and his father!
by sewsummore
Grant and Harley spent a memorable week together that ended when Grant discovered her age. He was old enough to realize that a man thirteen years older was not a suitable companion for a young girl just out of high school. It ended very badly, and Harley was heartbroken again when she discovered she was pregnant with his child and learned he was now engaged to another woman. It was almost five years later that Harley returned to her home town to inform Grant he was a father. Grant’s marriage had broken up two years previously, but when her son began to ask about his father, Harley knew it was time. Grant was surprised to discover he was a father but insisted on getting to know his son. It was evident to both Grant that the chemistry between them had never died, but Grant made it clear that he would never commit to a long term relationship again after the failure of his marriage. I found this book an emotional read, with Harley deeper in love with Grant than before and his refusal to commit to her, Harley’s was torn between the needs of her son and her desire for the father. Does Grant accept that his future lies with both Harley and his son, or will Grant’s feelings of inadequacy destroy any hope of a future for them as a family? Read the book to discover the conclusion to this heartbreaking question!

This was a good story about overcoming the age obstacle in a relationship. Sometimes age is really just a number if both parties are mature adults.

This book is an enjoyable second chance romance and focuses on Harley Wingate, an international philanthropist, and Grant Everett, a fertility specialist physician who discovers he has a secret son as a result of a weekend fling with Harley. Grant broke off their relationship since he was several years older than Harley. I recommend this enjoyable romance.

Grant and Harley spent a weekend together but when Grant knew Harley was barely eighteen, he got angry and abandoned her.
After five years separated, their chemistry is so strong as before, but a lot of things have changed while others stay the same.
I liked the book, but I have to say that Grant makes me angry with all his complaining about the gap in their age. He is unable to see what he has in front of his nose. I liked the end.

This is Book 3 in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: Rags to Riches Series by this author, and can be read as a standalone. It is an emotional, second chance romance between one-time lovers, Harley and Grant. Once they re-connect, it is a journey of self-discovery as these two flawed characters figure out a renewed relationship between them with love and intimacy while overcoming life’s challenges. It is a love story dealing with redemption and maturing love, along with some drama, humor, and steam, plus engaging secondary characters to keep the reader interested. Overall, it is an intense read with heart, heat, and a happy ending. A great addition to the series.

I enjoyed this new “Texas Cattleman’s Club” story! It’s a very interesting and good story about an older man and younger lady with a surprise child twist. Grant and Harley meet and have an explosive weekend together until he finds how big of an age difference there is he was mad and his dismissal was cold and ruthless. He will not even consider a relationship with a person 13 years younger than him. Two weeks later she leaves the country and finds out she is pregnant. She considers telling him until she finds out he is getting married. Fast forward five years and she comes back home with a child in tow. He shocked to learn he is a father and demands a paternity test. Can he get past the age difference? Can they leave the past and misunderstandings behind and move forward as a family?
The Paternity Pact by Cat Schield is an excellent book.
Book 3 in the Rags to Riches series – can be read as a stand alone.

Overall not a bad story. It was hot though I think the ending was a tad rushed. You know a pet peeve of mine though when the cover model doesn’t match the description of the character.

After leaving Royal abruptly 5 years ago Harley is now back needing to raise funds for her non profit as well as to let Grant know he has a son from their one weekend together. I liked both Harley and Grant but I just felt there was something missing, Grant couldn’t let go of the whole age difference as being why they couldn’t be together yet he still wanted to sleep with Harley, which kind of irked me as well as made me feel bad for Harley as by doing so she kept clinging to the idea they could be together. You can feel the tug of war that goes on for both of them and as much as you want Harley to get her happy ever after, it really is all up to Grant to get over himself and see what he can have but you aren’t sure it will all work out until right to the very end which I did like.
