Twelvedaysofromance Blog Tour: The True Cowboy Of Sunset Ridge By Maisey Yates

01-06-2022

For this final entry in the Twelve Days Of Romance blog tour series, we're looking at another Maisey Yates story that is steamy.. and yet somehow also very introspective and contemplative. For this blog tour, we're looking at The True Cowboy of Sunset Ridge by Maisey Yates.

Contemplative Steamy Romance. Wait. How can a romance novel that effectively starts off with a sex scene be contemplative? Well, you're gonna have to trust me here... and then read the book for yourself to verify. :D Yes, there is hot and heavy sex here, even pretty well hate sex. So the sweet/ clean crowd... eh, maybe not for y'all. But this book also features quite a bit of solid introspection, and indeed it is this part of the book that is a refreshing change of pace to so many in the genre. At nearly double the length (380 ish pages vs 220 ish pages) of Yates' other soon-to-release romance from Harlequin (Rancher's Forgotten Rival, Jan 25), there is quite a bit more here, and much of it is more in the extended introspection and angst than anything else. (There are also a few more plot complications, including a fairly significant one. But really this book is about both of our leads figuring out how to clear their own heads enough to see what is right in front of them.) Excellent romance with a fair amount of cowboy to it, and a refreshing change of pace within the genre. Very much recommended.
After the jump, an excerpt followed by the "publisher details" - book description, author bio, and social media and buy links.

Twelvedaysofromance Blog Tour: Ranchers Forgotten Rival By Maisey Yates

01-05-2022

For this penultimate day of the Twelve Days Of Romance blog tour series, we're looking at a solid series starter romance that manages to combine the comedy of Overboard with the saga of the Hatfields and McCoys. For this blog tour we're looking at Rancher's Forgotten Rival by Maisey Yates.

Overboard x Hatfields and McCoys. This tale is essentially a ranching version of a combination of Overboard (take your pick on the 1980s version or the 2010s version) and the saga of the Hatfields and McCoys. Throw in two people dedicated to their families yet who have always wanted each other despite their fami
