5 stars for Whiskey Ryder's Second Chance by Rhonda Lee Carver #westernromance #romance #bookreview



Title: Whiskey Ryder's Second Chance

Author: Rhonda Lee Carver

Genre: Contemporary Western Romance


Book Blurb:


A single father is looking for a nanny, but what he gets is an old flame.


Whiskey Ryder spends most of his time on the back of a horse on a mountain. Whether it’s on a search and rescue mission, or on the Ryde Hard Ranch working the land with his brothers. He’s all about being a cowboy…and a single father of a preteen who woke up one morning hating him. He’s been told it’s a normal phase for all kids, but he’s like a parenting fish out of water. He’s a millisecond away from chewing leather but his stunning first love comes back to town and, to his relief, has a way with his daughter...and his heart.


They are better together than whiskey and cola but claiming a second chance won’t be easy because someone sees her as a threat and wants her to leave town…dead or alive.


Codee Fields finds herself helping an old friend—old friend as in the cowboy who was her first love, first kiss, first everything. She’s had a couple of failed relationships, but Whiskey is “the one who got away”. Her priority is to solve the mystery of her sister’s death now that she knows the truth.


Whiskey will protect her at all costs, but will it be enough for a second chance at romance? Or will tragedy strike and everything he’s wanted disappear?


If small town romances with lots of emotion and adventures in the mountains, and sweltering chemistry between the lead characters, are what you crave then grab books by Rhonda Lee Carver.


My Review:


Time for another Timely Teddy review. Another older couple romance you won’t want to miss. Before I worked here, I always thought that was awks (awkward) but I confess it's bussin' (really good).


This author really wrote a book that was awesome. The flow was smooth, and this was a hard to put down.


The love story won't let down fans of this genre. It is smokin’ hot too, so good for January reading.


The mystery was done high key (out in the open)! That part just takes you and doesn't let go. The writing of that part was killer and thanks to the author for such a wild story to read!


Start to finish, a cool read. I recommend this to all my friends and now I rec it to everyone.


If you are a fan of this author, buy this book. If you like western romance, buy this book. A great book for readers dying for a romance.


5 stars and wow!

Author Biography:


Rhonda Lee Carver is a bestselling author of contemporary western and romantic suspense, but she loves to write other genres too. She's known for writing stories that keep readers laughing, crying, gripping the edge of their seats, and screaming all in one book...like riding a virtual roller coaster. Whether she's creating sexy cowboys or tough guys, or sassy, independent heroines, readers are sure to find strong, powerful, memorable characters that are relatable.


By day, she taps into her creative, fictional world but at some point she transitions back into reality where she's a volleyball-stands cheerleader, homework virtuoso (at least she thinks so), amateur nurse to skinned knees, mediocre chef with some awesome microwave skills, pet-guru (all the strays show up at her house), and a Jackie of all trades for her kids who are the loves of her life. Yoga and chocolate keep her sane. Hallmark movies require cuddling up with tissues because she can be emotional. She adds a sprinkle of her own real-life adventures in each story she spins because a little truth never hurt anyone. She wouldn't give up one thing in her crazy, chaotic, ever-amusing life, except, she might do magic tricks for the bungalow on the beach she's had her eye on (GOALS).


Writing for Rhonda is like falling in love and finding a new best friend over and over again. Her characters will find a place inside your heart too.
