review 1: This was a quick, light read. It stayed at 2 stars for me because it was more simplistic than I would have liked. Wyatt and Olivia hit if off immediately and then engage in sexual banter the whole rest of the book - when they're not busy getting it on, that is. While I don't mind a quick hook-up in a book, this one didn't sizzle enough for me because....I guess the circumstances weren't very exciting.I was also disappointed in how little airtime the sibling discord got (between Jack Chance and Wyatt, his half brother). It wasn't believable that they worked out their major conflict in less than a day, after some stern words from the women in their lives.Also, a last pet peeve...Olivia decided to go hiking in the wilderness...alone...for 45 minutes...without any water, r... moreeally? Oh, and after hiking previously for 45 minutes without water the first thing she wants is...wine? Really?I've enjoyed other books in this series so I'm sure I'll end up reading more of this author though!
review 2: I will say this is one of my favorites in the Sons of Chance Series.Wyatt Locke grew up in San Francisco - he is an adventure guide, definitely not a cowboy. What brings Wyatt to the Last Chance ranch is the desire to get to know his half-brother, Jack. The previous summer Wyatt came to meet Jack and the reception he received was decidedly cool, last time he came without an invitation, and here he is a year later doing it again. Wyatt and his twin brother practically raised themselves; he hopes this will lead to the type of family he has always craved. A strong summer storm is coming through the area as he is driving to the ranch, on the side of the road he finds Olivia Sedgewick in her vehicle stuck in a ditch. Olivia is on her way to Last Chance to give the ladies of the ranch a night of beauty. Bad timing on Wyatt's part - all the men on the ranch are at a cattle auction for the weekend. He might not be a cowboy, but Wyatt is not going to leave a bunch of women to fend for themselves with the power knocked out.There was immediate sizzle between Wyatt and Olivia. I really liked them as a couple. And I LOVED having the women of Last Chance Ranch featured prominently in this book. Lot's of girl talk. The scene where the women ask Wyatt to explain a man's logic was priceless."Whew," Josie chance, Jack's wife, flipped her long blond braid over her shoulder. "Don't anybody tell Jack I said so, but that guy's hot. I had no idea. Jack just said he was a typical hiker type with sandy-colored hair""I wish I could have snapped off a couple of shots before Sarah dragged him away"This is a great quick read if you like cowboys and like to laugh! I have read the whole series, and have enjoyed everyone. If you have not ventured to the Last Chance Ranch before, this is the perfect book to start with, all necessary backstories are explained. less
