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.
