Good With His Hands, Bad For Her Heart

Ever since her marriage went up in flames, Olivia Wilder hasn’t had the desire for love. But one magical dance with Logan Travers might change all that.

The blue-eyed hometown hunk is a bit younger and a whole lot sexier than any man she’s ever dated before. This is one carpenter Olivia would like to get to know better, and not just because of his building skills

From his first dance with Olivia, Logan knows there’s something special about the beautiful brunette.

The more she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length, the more Logan wants her in his embrace. And the more Olivia says she’s just passing through, the more resolved Logan is to make her his, forever.

My Rating:  4.5 stars

A Second Chance at Crimson Ranch is the second title in the Crimson, Colorado series, and this time, we’ll encounter Olivia and Logan, two people who have (to them) very valid reasons for staying separated from any close entanglements.  They both have issues and could work them out on their own, but they are so much more together, and it was delightful to watch their relationship grow and bloom into a forever kind of love.

We met Olivia in the previous story as a secondary character and a new friend to Sara. She’s divorced the slimy ex-mayor of Crimson and is working hard on redefining her life.  She doesn’t trust easily, and yet Logan is checking off all of the boxes to let this man into her life.  Because of the way her marriage ended, she has some difficult people to deal with, some who blame her by association with the man who caused such harm to many people in this small town.  Logan will step in and help her renovate the building that is earmarked as the community center Olivia is working so hard to create.  He has a history with this town, his brothers still live here, but Logan isn’t planning on staying long… until Olivia wraps herself around his reluctant heart and everything changes.

I enjoyed A Second Chance at Crimson Ranch by Michelle Major.  It’s well-written and emotional as we watch both Olivia and Logan work their way through issues that no longer have a hold on them.  Combine a touch of laughter, secondary characters who make this fictional town come alive, and seeing the love between Logan and Olivia, the forging of new bonds with his brothers, make this story a heartwarming, fun, enjoyable journey.
