Review: Falling for the pretty ranch hand - such a cliched HEA
Rating: 5 out of 5

Book 2 in "Red Hot & Blue" series. Preceded byTrey, followed byJimmy.Plot:At home on furlough, Jack falls for Nicki, the mysterious new ranch hand. When Nicki's past comes calling, Jack needs to find a way to keep Nicki safe, and head towards a HEA for them both.Comments:- A novella (1451 kindle locations).- Jack was the wannabe love interest of Carly in Book 1. Other members of the Task Force re-appear in this book, including Jimmy (the brother whom they saved).- Although this is the second book in the series, it would standalone. That said, with characters from the previous book re-appearing without much explanation of their role in the task force, reading Book 1 first may be of help in keeping the names straight.- Book 1 revolved around the military life. "Jack" is set while the team is on furlough. It is more of a cowboy story.- Sex is m/f but this is spicy not explicit.- Product says it has been previously published and has been revised for this edition. The original story is fromTrilogy No. 103: Red Hot & Blue.Opinion:Loved it. So funny. I actually preferred "Jack" over "Trey". It was no where near as explicit as "Trey", as well as moving the characters out of the military scenario, and I'm glad of that. It would not have suited the story, nor Jack and Nicki. This is a lovely little romance with a Mob twist and endearing characters. Recommended.
