This book didn't improve on the first one for me. I hated how much the shared past of Tanner and Lauren got rehashed! Some of it was logical, but most of it felt like it was being done for angst and drama's sake, making it an actual hindrance to the romance! I also hated Tanner's attitude regarding his career! His "determination" was nothing more than living in denial-land, and could have killed him! I was bored while reading it, and had to force myself to continue it, because I knew I had the next one in the series to read! Would not recommend!

Copy kindly received via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
The story line for this one was a good idea - a second chance romance - however I found that the main characters kept bringing up how much they hurt each other in the past. It was quite repetitive. It felt like the story dragged a little bit, as yes, things were happening, but if felt like nothing was moving forward at the same time.
I liked the characters in the book, however it just seemed to drag a little for me. Maybe its just my reading slump at the moment, I'm not too sure.
I would like to read more from this author though.

What a pleasure to discover a new to me author.
Tanner Ford, former bad boy and Lauren his former highschool sweetheart have a second chance.
They reconnect as adults for professional reasons but the chemistry is still there.
The story was a fun, easy read that kept me glued to my kindle. Who doesn't love a broken heart novel that has a chance to repair? I look forward to seeing what else this author has written.

“I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own."
‘All Night With The Cowboy’ is the second book in the River Ranch series. I read the first book, ‘Cowboy Stole My Heart’ in January and really loved it. So I was super excited when I received a request to read this second book. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
In ‘All Night With The Cowboy’ we meet Tanner Ford. Tanner is the son of one the richest Texas families. But instead of working on his family’s ranch, Tanner rides bulls. This is his passion and he made his own fortune with it. But one day, he sustains serious injuries which make it difficult to believe he will ever be back bull riding again. But Tanner is determined to get back at it. Unfortunately this means he needs the help of the finest physical therapist in town Lauren Lewis. And Lauren Lewis is the last person he wants to see. It’s been twelve years since she broke his heart and he made a promise to himself to never get that vulnerable with anyone ever again.
From the moment I started reading this book I was hooked. I loved the previous book in the series, so I had very high expectations with this one. And thankfully it was every bit as good as I hoped it would be. I love stories about Cowboys and close families, and this book had it both. But the best part was definitely the romance between Tanner and Lauren.
When Tanner and Lauren where seniors in High School they had a very intense romance. Everyone, including themselves, believed they would marry one day. But Lauren made a decision and left Tanner, and herself, heartbroken without any explanation. I loved the way Tanner and Lauren had this past together. A lot of the times these romance novels include a ‘new’ romance, but this story was even better because of their history. The chemistry was definitely flying of the pages and I loved reading every single page.
What made this book even better for me was the way Tanner and Lauren both tried to keep their distance from one another. It didn’t work, but it was fun to read about there struggle to keep things simple professional.
Tanner and Lauren were both also very nice characters to get to know. Although I didn’t really get Lauren’s decision of ending their relationship back then, I definitely was impressed by what she achieved.
The one thing I didn’t get in this book was the ending. Although it was definitely good, it also felt a little rushed to me. One minute they were on this Island and the next they were back. And that endometrioses part, I didn’t get why that was a part of the story. It didn’t seem to really fit.
But overall another great book that I’d definitely recommend. I can’t wait to read the next one.

Tanner may come from family with more money than sense but he wants to make his own fame and fortune. Turning his back on the family business he becomes a renowned Bull Rider. But after a decade of success, he takes a fall and needs some physical therapy to get back in the saddle.
But his family get sneaky when it comes to getting him into therapy that he wants to avoid. His ex, Lauren is now a trained therapist but can she put her still simmering feelings for Tanner aside and treat him as just any other patient?
Fiji isn't the typical location that comes to mind when thinking of suitable places to rehabilitate a Rodeo performer but hey, its pretty, peaceful and powerfully relaxing. There is plenty of passion and a few wrong turns for the former young loves. Great read.

**I received an ARC of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely**
The first book in this series, Cowboy Stole My Heart, was the first book I read by this author. I enjoyed it so much I decided to go back to some of her earlier work and was able to find Soldier on Her Doorstep at my local library…I LOVED that book. I was super excited to get this book as an ARC and couldn’t wait to dive right in.
While Tanner and Lauren are both great characters, I just never really connected with Lauren. I felt that her reasons for leaving Tanner when they were younger didn’t add up. For someone who is so smart, it seems to me she should have been able to figure something out. I do somewhat understand her thinking taking money from her parents for college made her more independent than if she took money from Tanner, but not to the extent she seems to think. C’mon…I’ve known tons of people who have worked their way through college and done just fine. Sure, it’s a struggle and there will be a lot of loans to pay off when you’re done. But taking money from mommy and daddy is not “doing it on your own” in any way, shape, or form. So Lauren’s conviction that she did the only thing she could have back then really rubbed me the wrong way.
That being said, I actually agree with Lauren and Tanner at least taking a break and finding out what life was like single when they were younger. Unfortunately, the way it all came about made them both somewhat bitter…especially Tanner.
Tanner and Lauren obviously cared about each other deeply, even all the years they were apart. They have great chemistry and, despite my not-so-great feelings about Lauren, I liked them as a couple. But still, something in this story fell flat for me.
I’m starting to realize I tend to be a lot more nit-picky when I’m not totally immersed in a story. While I really liked this story a lot, it didn’t grab me the way the other stories I read by this author have. Therefore, I noticed little inconsequential things and that took me even more out of the story.
I’ll definitely be trying out my books by this author since, although it wasn’t my favorite, it was still quite an enjoyable story.

Cowboy romances are fun, as long as the characters stay relateable...and in this case, the story of Tanner and Lauren worked well, as Lauren is not fully a part of the daily life on the ranch, she has a career that has nothing to do with the ranch.
I enjoyed this overall, and once I got over the idea that the only possible person able to help Tanner was Lauren, and that they had to go on a swanky vacation in order to do it. Once I let go of this and just decided to go with it, I enjoyed this title overall. I liked that they had a history, and I enjoyed the tension this added to their story.
The book was well written, and the characters felt authentic and realistic. There is some overlap from characters in the first story, but it is not necessary to have read the first title in the series to enjoy this one.
I enjoyed this title, and I do recommend it.

Thank you St. Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
All Night with the Cowboy is a second chance romance story about Mia's brother, Tanner Ford and his ex-high school girlfriend, Lauren Lewis.
Tanner Ford is a professional bull rider. He was passionate about it than managing his family's business and enjoys the thrill until he had the first accident in his career. He was injured badly and he needs rehabilitation to get back in shape. After twelve years, he never thought he'll see the woman who broke his heart and she happens to be his physical therapist, Lauren Lewis. They'll be spending time together in Fiji for weeks. With unresolved issues and lingering feelings, things are awkward and tense between them.
Lauren unintentionally broke his heart years ago. She'd chosen to pursue her dreams by getting a degree in Physical Therapy sacrificing her relationship with Tanner. It was heartbreaking but she wants to be successful career woman. She worked hard for it and years later, she became one of the best. It was rewarding and after all these years, she still loves Tanner and she hopes he'll forgive her.
I really liked Tanner and Lauren's story. I love the angst and sexual tension here. I can easily relate to Lauren for being an obedient daughter but I wished she told Tanner the truth on why she broke up with him. Fiji was such a romantic getaway and a perfect setting for this book. Such a beautiful paradise! Breaking up in the past was the best thing that happened to order for them to grow as a person and achieve their aspirations in life. If the opposite happened, they'll be miserable couple and might resent Tanner in the future for choosing love over career. It's all about making sacrifices and compromising. Their relationship just felt authentic and I love it.

Another sweet and sexy River Ranch story from Soraya Lane. This time, Tanner Ford, the bull riding son of the Ford dynasty, has been seriously injured, and needs physical therapy. He gets some serious physical attention from his high school squeeze, now professional trainer and physical therapist, on a two week vacation in Fiji. To call this escapist fiction is to understate the case. Rich, handsome man, vacation in Fiji, sparks flying. What more could you ask?
