I have read #4 of the long valley series before, since that was free on amazon and recommended to me and I really liked that one so I had pretty high hopes for this one.
Overdue for love is #3.5 and sadly doesn't live up to my expectations since this one felt stilted at times and very rushed at the end and I even skimmed a couple of times, which I almost never do.

The 'revenge' sex at the start was unpleasant to say the least and I ended up 'dnf'ing at 18% when this turned into a trope that is all too common now and simply made no sense in the context of the background.

Working on someone else ranch when you have fallen for the boss’s daughter isn’t good. When the boss is racist and you are part Navajo it is even worse when the boss thinks you aren’t good enough for her. Thinking Chloe was playing him for a fool he left with his heart broken. She is one he will never forget and holds much bitterness. Chloe herself has issues the only man she has loved left with a painful good bye. The one night of passion left more than unkind words behind. Now face to face

The story had potential but the storytelling was not good.
The story of Chloe and Dawson is a sweet story. Their story starts out with Dawson working very hard on Chloe's father's ranch, he plans to purchase the ranch from her father who has agreed with the idea. However as time passes her father rethinks this and tells Dawson that he will not be selling the ranch to him as it needs to stay in the family and will go to Chloe's husband. Telling Dawson that Chloe is engaged to a local rancher. This throws Dawson for a tailspin and he does something he

PREDICTABLE BUT I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. ;D
nice story. I love stories dealing with issues like prejudice, native, unknown child.
I found this story nice, but I found the characters lacking depth, I would have loved to know more about the heroes, , their background, their struggle, how they overcame what fate brought them in the face.
I disliked Chloe at the beginning, j trying to shamelessly excite Dawson, but I did loved her more after,but found that she just welcomed him back too quickly.
of course I appreciate Dawson, but the fact that ...more

I really enjoyed reading about Chloe and how much she has grown since the beginning of the book. When she was young and barely legal she was throwing herself at Dawson without thinking of the consequences it could mean with her father. She was written as desperate and selfish and this bugged me.
However when we meet up with her again, she is a hard worker, loyal friend and wonderful mother. Being forced to grow up looks good on her. I really liked this Chloe. She was determined, resourceful and ...more

A great romance read by Erin Wright about Dawson and Chloe. Dawson was a ranch manager at Chloe's dad's ranch and she had been lusting and doing everything she can for Dawson to notice her for 2 years. The story starts with their first encounter but it wasn't very romantic, in fact Dawson took out his revenge on Chloe and then left the next day, feeling betrayed by her dad and her.

I really enjoyed reading this contemporary western romance novella. Many people purchase a book by storyline for that reason I don’t do storyline spoilers. I feel it is unfair to the author to describe the book when writing is their livelihood. This novel is a winner! It had all the elements I look for in a well written romance novella: a well thought out and executed storyline, writing that flowed smoothly from beginning to end, characters that were well developed and engaging (adored Tommy!)

Started really good, then it remembered it was a novella
I liked the pacing up until 40-50%. Then it just went too quick. But for the first part, Chloe & Dawson felt real (even if I didn't like Chloe when she was 20). You really felt their emotions & they seemed genuine. Then Dawson made some stupid out of nowhere comment & they were sucking face. Oh and days later he intentionally fed her wine coolers so she could "relax" enough to sleep with him. I think if he just tried to date her ...more

Love this story
Another gem in this series. Interesting concept. Spoiled rich girl Chloe. Daughter of a rich racist farmland owner and Dawson. Part navajo indian, and not at all what Chloes father had in mind for his only daughter. Being told he will never get the farm he’d been promised, because he’s not “good “ enough. “White “ enough.. he stalks out of the house angrily only to run into Chloe whom he had been resisting. Then, in one moment of reckless and anger passion with Chloe, Dawson ...more

This was a well written book with great characters and a strong plot. A second chance love story with lots of twists and turns. Chloe is the pampered daughter of a racist jerk who does not want her to get involved with Dawson who is one of his ranch hands and part Indian. He leaves town after thinking Chloe and her Dad are using him and doesn't return for nine years. He had no clue that their night of passion produced a son. Not wanting to be a spoiler, I will say no more. But you will love this

Decent read but
But I wished for more. Like Chloe give Dawson a little more hell. The man took your v-card and left you with child. She has no one to turn to since her father kicks her out and she essentially struggled to get where she is now with their son. The angst was good but it needed more rather syrupy sweet where after maybe a week max they’re in each other’s arms and bed. I mean I like this story more than Bundle of Love but it’s just missing more and it’s a little too short.

Wright has written another wonderfully steamy western romance novella. This one is complete with love gone wrong and a second chance to make it all alright.
The characters in this short book are remarkably well developed and the story unfolds at a great pace. None of these things are easily accomplished by just any author in a book of this length.
I highly recommend devouring this one in an afternoon to fans of the steamy western romance genre.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

4.5 . Never Assume!
Communication is golden. Be quick to listen and slow to speak. There is no room for bigotry either. At the end of the day, we all bleed the same color. Ms. Wright developed a beautiful story that shows how a happy ever after can happen when not falling into others discriminations and learning to communicate. Overall quality of writing was really good. No cheating or cliffhanger. There were some steamy intimacy scenes and yes.... you get a happy ever after. Enjoy ...more

Dawson was screwed over by Chloe's dad after he told him he was not going to sell him the property after Dawson worked hard for several years to get it back up and running.

Dawson and Chloe
A sweet love story that starts off with so much misunderstanding. At times sad and thoughtful but with so much promise of a bright and wonderful future. Dawson and Chloe have spent nine years apart and have so much to overcome but decide to start fresh with hope. A lovely story of family and how love can endure. ...more

This was surprisingly really good! I only read it because it was free, but it had a lot of conflict in the beginning and turned out being an interesting story with a happy ending. Very detailed scenes, felt like I was Chloe! Honestly to sum it up, it was a book about miscommunication between to lovers.
Sweet romance
Sweet second chance romance. Liked both characters and their son and there was a fairly good story attached to them. Would have liked a bit of history to the grand dad but overall an okay story.

A nice quick read. It's a cute novella about second chances. Chloe and Dawson manage to create a son before separating for 9 years. It was nice to see them meet and restart their lives.

Second chance romance with a cowboy
He left thinking she was in on betrayal with her father, he didn't count on running into her in another state. Imagine his surprise to find she has a child..

Entertaining
Didn't like the way it started. It's a fast read. There are things that go unanswered but not important to the story line. They do have sex, fyi. It's okay and will read the other free books from this author. There's just not a lot of depth to it.

I really enjoyed this book. Dawson Blackhorse is working on the Bartell horse ranch as the foreman. Mr. Bartell told him that he would let him buy the ranch and has been keeping some of his wages out for the ranch. His daughter, Chloe flirts with Dawson all the time. Dawson notices her, but doesn’t do anything about it. One day Mr. Bartell calls Dawson in after dinner to talk to him. He tells Dawson that he can’t sell him the ranch. The ranch has been in his family since the 1800’s and he isn’t
