It is a heartwarming story with everything being so convenient. Noah invades Tess' home and she lets him. He makes decisions for her and their daughter, whom he didn't even know existed a few days prior, and she lets him.

Sweet and enjoyable holiday season read.
Noah Tanner and Taggart Jones, best friends are on their way home after winning the PBR championship --one in bronc riding the other in bull-riding-- when they meet with a terrible accident.
When Noah opens his eyes in the hospital, he finds the nurse looking at him is Tess Montgomery, the girl who had shown him paradise for two weeks eight years ago, having welcomed him into her life, her arms and her bed after an injury. Now, she treated him with a cool civility. Their parting hadn't been good. She had expected more from him, but he couldn't give it to her because he was a close-to-broke rodeo bronc rider then and had to get on the road to more rodeos if he had to have any money to survive. Two months later he'd called having promised her that and on Tagg's advice about not giving her false hopes and keeping her dangling, he told her not to expect him back at all.
Now, eight years later he couldn't get her to talk to him properly although he did manage to steal a passionate kiss from her. It was Christmas time and he couldn't go to his older brother's ranch as he'd liked to because he had to be near the hospital for his therapy, so he was stuck all alone and bereft in a motel room. He then decides to visit Tess, but when he reaches her place, he finds she's out. But, there's a cute seven-year old girl who stuns him when she tells him that he's her father. Tess then arrives and asks Noah to leave, but then she had to take it back when she learns that their daughter had asked for her father to come to them, not from Santa, but from God.
She however keeps Noah at a cold distance for most part of the book. Noah nevertheless has a wonderful time bonding with their daughter, Susannah, who is thrilled to have him in her life. When his daughter gets hurt and Tess was not around, he takes charge of the situation although it was a first time experience for him, which impresses Tess, who softens toward him enough to make love, but declines his proposal of marriage still not sure he'd want to hang out.
I couldn't full warm up to Tess. I get that she didn't want her heart broken again, but I felt she was only thinking about herself, not about the daughter and father relationship.
Nevertheless, Noah, Susannah, Noah's brothers and their wives and family and all other characters in the book were fun characters, which is why I found the book fun and enjoyable read. -
Such a sweet cute story,absolutely loved Noah-Tess,and the bonding and scenes with Suee was fun to read,especially the scene when Suse bumps into a tress and breaks her teeth and has few scratches,loved the way Noah-Tess both find their way to love back and Noah realises his mistakes and finally works on earning Suse and Tess's trust and love
The secondary characters were great,Noah's family was good and Noah sharing his childhood scrapbook and pics with Suse and Tess was also fun to read
Overall a Good read

Lovely story with a strong heroine and an amazing kid
This is my first book by this author but will not be the last.
Tess was a nurse student when she met Noah, a cowboy that was in the hospital to recover from an injury suffered during a rodeo. They shared an instant connection and spend two weeks together, being lovers and friends.
When the two weeks have passed and Noah was finally recovered, he simply left with some rodeo companions and told her that he could not stay, that he had never promised anything, and that he was not ready to settle.
After the profound connection they had shared Tessa was devastated by his leave and even more when she found out she was pregnant.
Eight years after, Noah suffers a car accident and is sent to the hospital where Tess now works.
The plot in itself is not the most original, but it was done beautifully. Tess is a serious and respectable woman, full of character and strength and her daughter Suzanna is the sweetest kid I’ve ever seen. Her interactions with Noah are too wonderful for words.
Noah is a good man too. He knows he screwed up big, he assumes his mistakes and owns them honorably.
To make good even better, the story is settle during Christmas and is full of family values and Christmas Spirit (in a very non-preachy way).
It’s a wonderful story! Lovely read. -
This was a cute story where Noah, a bronc rider, lives by the rodeo. He never stays in one place for long. After getting hit by a Semi, he's thrust into the hospital and has a long recovery ahead of him. For now, his nurse is a blast from the past. A woman he once knew and left has come back into his life and is shocked by a surprise.
A cute story has lots of sweetness and a good ending. I enjoyed it. The Christmas theme of the book was perfect for the season. I loved how sweet Noah could be.
Tess struggles with her fears, trust, and heartache because she knows that trusting in the past hurt her. It caused her pain and loneliness but when Noah shows up, she questions herself and struggles to come to terms with his part in her lfe. -
Second chances romance with a cowboy from the rodeo circuit has to take a break for the holidays when he has a serious car accident while en route home to his brother's ranch.
Noah Tanner ends up in the same hospital that many years ago he met a special nurse that he fall in love and left to go back to the rodeo, but this time he is going to stick around because there is a surprise secret daughter that is now in his life. Totally impossible story, but a cute holiday themed read.

A sweet Christmas romance, though a bit too traditional for my liking - womenfolk in the kitchen, menfolk inspecting guns, church every Sunday and the like. But I did like the surprisingly non-bratty child. Kudos for that.

The story of Tess and Noah. It is a stand alone however there are others in the series about Noah's brothers if you want to continue reading about the family. They can be read in any order. Tess and Noah is a second chance romance. He is a Rodeo bronco champ and Tess is a nurse. The first time they met was eight years ago and she was a nursing student, he had needed somewhere to recuperate after getting out of the hospital. Tess had let him stay with her for a couple of weeks.
This time a semi broadsided his truck and him and Taggert were lucky to come out of the accident alive. Luck would have it Noah landed in the same hospital as Tess again and she was his nurse. Story goes from there.
Really ejoyed reading this book. -
Noah had won a gold belt buckle at the rodeo. He is on his way home to his brother’s ranch for the holidays when a truck hit his. He ended up in the same hospital as he was in eight years ago. The same wonderful nurse was taking care of him.
He had been thinking about her but he wasn’t ready to settle down eight years ago. Now was different. His brothers were married with kids and he wanted that. But the road had always called to him before. It wasn’t until seven year old Savanna told him he was her daddy that life changed for him. -
2.5-3 stars. This was okay. Predictable, but still cute. I’m not crazy about kids in romances because they’re always overly precocious & annoying, and this one was no different. Don’t think I will continue with the series, but it was a nice quick read and overall, I was rooting for Tess & Noah. It’s so refreshing to read romance that’s not based on a dominant/submissive dynamic and doesn’t involve a hyper-aggressive alpha (which can be great, too, but gets old after a while).

Never read a bad Anne McAllister book
I started this series with this book so I have a lot to look forward to going back to Robert's & Luke's books. This book had the right amount of fun and anticipation. Jonah and Tess had a lot of catching up to do. Jonah is so cute adapting to his new family. Tess has a right to be leery. Together they make it work and I had a big smile on my face by the end of the book. Never a bad book by Anne McAllister. -
Cowboys Don't Stay....
until they do. Noah met Tess in the hospital 8 years ago after he was injured in the rodeo. He runs into her again when injured in a car accident after the rodeo. The surprise of his life is just around the corner but what will be do when it comes time to leave again?!?!? -
Tess and Noah
A sweet and somewhat spicy second chance romance. Noah, the new World Champ Bronc rider and Tess, the still beautiful but now cold and professional nurse meet again 8 years later. This time he is laid up in hospital for car accident instead of bronc riding injuries. Read along as they both stumble along for this heartwrenching attempt at reconciliation. -

The cowboy grew up, started placing his priorities appropriately and found the key to happiness. The writing and characters were excellent. The reader developed feelings for these individuals and sincerely wanted them to succeed, develop trust and achieve their HEA.

Middle of the road
This book had a good premise. However I felt the author told the entire story. I never felt the characters emotions. No build up or real angst, just boom It went from nothing to you are the one. Wholesome read overall but lacking in development in my opinion. -
they meet and fall in love and then he leaves but 7 years later he is back and you have a secert. He wants to pick back up but you know what will happen because cowboys don't stay. A great book. need to read more by this author

Tess and Noah met when he was injured in a rodeo and needed a place to stay for a few days after his buddies moved on to the next rodeo. After 2 weeks he goes back to the rodeo and finally showed up again 8 years later. A very good read no matter how many times I read it.
