What would you give up to have a second-chance at a once-in-a-lifetime love?
Wild Card is a STANDALONE SECOND-CHANCE ROMANCE from the NYT bestselling author of The Pact and Before I Ever Met You.
Rough, raw & rugged.
As the man in charge at Ravenswood Ranch, Shane Nelson has never been afraid to get his hands dirty. His sculpted physique isn't the product of a gym, but of years of hard labor under a relentless sun. His straightforward, alpha tendencies come from a man who knows what he wants and goes after it.
And what he wants is Rachel Waters.
He's never stopped wanting her.
They were childhood best friends, then teenage lovers who evolved into soulmates. But on one fateful night, Shane made a grave mistake, breaking both their hearts in the process.
Now, after six years, Rachel is back in the small, wild mountain town of North Ridge, BC.
Ready to face her past.
Ready to face Shane.
Ready to face his dark secret.
But is a second-chance at a one true love in the cards? Or will their wild hearts be broken once again?

My take...
After coming off of Halle’s Royal Romance series, I figured I needed another one of her books. So I picked up this book since I am starting to enjoy cowboy’ish stories more and more. WILD CARD was a really good read. Not my favorite of Halle’s but I plan to continue the series. I look forward to seeing what trouble these brothers can get into.
Shane and Rachel have a complicated past and it rears its ugly head when she comes back to care for her sick mother. I think I am just not a true fan of second chance romances. I don’t hate them, but I tire of the one step forward, two steps back dance the two characters do throughout a story. Communication is key and it is always lacking in these type of stories. 4 Stars!
