The Cowgirl's Secret Love

The Colemans of Heart Falls, Book 2

By: Vivian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

Welcome to Heart Falls - a place for family, friends, and a second chance to fall in love.

A stand-alone novel in a new trilogy by New York Times best-selling author Vivian Arend.

Wealthy rancher Finn Marlette’s move to Heart Falls to fix what went wrong between him and Karen Coleman just got complicated. Suddenly he’s got five months to get his new dude ranch up and running, or lose the place to a hated rival.

New agenda: Show up on Karen’s porch, tell her they belong together, and offer her a job.

After a lifetime of following the rules and other’s dreams, Karen’s determined to find her own path. The last thing she needs is to get involved with Finn again - it was only a secret fling, and she still fell hard.

But the summer job he offers is tempting - it’s a chance to work with men who truly appreciate her ranching skills. Finn’s determined to tempt her into remembering all the delicious sexual appreciation between them as well.

Wild horses can’t keep them apart, but sabotage and too many secrets might.

Great series - highly recommended!

Love this series! Believable characters and story lines and I’m being introduced to life in Canada! The dynamics in each Coleman line and cousins are just enough different to give a great experience to the reader while getting to revisit Characters from previous stories. If you like series and romance- this series is a must!

Absolutely loved this one!

I absolutely loved this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. I loved getting Karen's story and watching her find (again) a man that truly appreciated and loved her for all that she was. Karen has been dealing with feeling like she isn't enough as her dad has never welcomed her into the ranch life and running the ranch with them. It's come off like it is because she is a woman and that she will never add up. Finn met Karen when he came out one summer to help out at the Whiskey Creek ranch and while they kept things on the down low it definitely heated up. While feelings weren't supposed to be involved they were for both but circumstances stopped Finn from making the move he was going to and Karen never really knew and he is back now and ready to make his move. I loved watching these two come together for their second chance. Finn is pretty open in his intentions when he makes his move and while Karen is hesitant she has her reasons and is trying to work past them. I loved watching the way that things developed and how they supported each other and communicated with what was going on and where they were. They were very supportive and open without pushing too far too early and I loved getting to know Zach, Finn's best friend, better too. This was a great read with plenty to hold your attention and engaging you with the characters. I truly loved this story and loved watching Karen and Finn come together and work everything out. This is probably one of my favorite books set in the Heart Falls series.
The narrator did a great job with the story and the characters.

Second Time Around

The oldest of the Wiskeycreek sisters Karen’s life has been the ranch and showing her Dad she is just as good as the male cousins of the family. After the huge reveal of the long lost sister Karen is spreading her wings and following her heart. Or so she thought was what she wanted when now her heart sees possibilities in the man she thought was a distant memory. Great story with a race to meet a mentors deadline, sabotage, and really knowing what your heart wants. Really love the Coleman’s whether in Rocky Mountain or Heart Falls.

Entertaining plot.

I found like all the books before this one once it got started
it was near impossible to not devalued it in one setting.
There’s drama suspense fun and of cause plenty of romance
with heat to it.
The narrator has done an outstanding job of bringing the hole book alive.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Great

Love the Colman’s and listening to Karen and Finns story was amazing. When Finn needs help getting his dude ranch up and running he gos to Karen for help. You get so much going on from love and romance to secrets and sabotage. Great from start to finish. The narration was good.

sweet enjoyable romance

second chance, forced proximity, short term relationship (Karen is leaving in a few months), wealthy hero, small town, large family

While technically a standalone, probably best if you've read The Cowgirl's Forever Love (book 1).

Excellent narration by Tatiana Sokolov

What can go wrong building Dude ranch,,, Alot!

Finn and Karen had fling years ago now they are back in the same town and area, While they both work with friend Zack to meet deadline to get a dude ranch up and running, something goes wrong and finn pays the price while other thing go awry while they race to the deadline.

Karen working on new life and Future when Finn swoop back in to try win her heart for ever, Her plan is to go away to a special school, What happens is complete utter mess with dash of funny.

I love her writing all her book are unique, you always get bit of update on her other character in all the books that came before which is great!

Narrator really amazes me every time.

Loved

I love this small town romance series. It really makes you want to be a part of this family and live in the country. Makes you want to find you a respectable cowboy, who are rare to find these days. I've enjoyed all of Vivian's small town Romance books that I've read so far. The spice may be a little lower than what I'm used to in these books, but sometimes it's nice to step away from that and enjoy the sweeter side.

Ooh! I so enjoy reading about the Coleman ladies!

Karen and Finn have a history that ended way too soon and he wants a second chance to prove his love. If Finn thinks Karen is going to fall to her knees and worship him, he has another think coming! Although she still has feelings for him she’s not giving in so easily! The Coleman women love for life and their men make sure they are loved in return. These books are always a pleasure to read. As always, I am looking forward to reading what Vivian Arend has next. It continues to be a pleasure listening to this series with Tatiana Sokolov narrating.

Sparks Fly

love that we travel back to Rocky Mountain House to when Karen Coleman and Finn Marlette first met years earlier. The little flashbacks throughout the story are also great.

As for present day, the story is terrific. It has all the heart, family, and friendship that I expect, as well as the steamy bits. It's sweet and honest with a mystery and some poignant moments. Karen and Finn are something to be enjoyed!

I love how Finn sneaks her wildflowers and how he gets Karen to think about what she truly wants and why and that he's there to support every single decision. It makes me want to keep him for myself.

This series is great, and I can't wait to see what kind of trouble comes Julia's way. It looks like it'll be quite the ride. 😘

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov who continues to deliver a worthy listen.
