Synopsis:
Ty Everett ran off to the rodeo when he turned eighteen and has been riding bulls ever since…until his last fall causes partial amnesia and he must return to Cold River Ranch to figure out what comes next. But how can he pick his next move when he can’t remember how he got here in the first place—much less the beautiful woman who appears at the ranch, claims she knows him, and warms his cold heart for the first time since he woke up in the hospital?
Rodeo Queen Hannah Monroe gave up her crown for Ty Everett, and her innocence. What she wants from Ty now is a divorce. But Ty can’t remember her—or their secret wedding, or even the son she never meant to hide from him—and Hannah is torn. How can she leave the man she can’t forget and still loves despite herself? And even if she’s willing to start over, what will happen when the truth comes out?
Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy is an intensely heart aching romance for the second story in the Cold River series. Ty Everett is finally pulling his life together after a terrible accident that left him injured and with short-term amnesia. He’s ready for a comeback at another chance to ride the bull that stomped on him 18 months ago. What throws him for a loop is when an angry, young woman shows up and turns his life sideways when she says she’s his wife! He may not remember her but he feels a connection and wants to be with her. What he doesn’t know is that she’s got a secret that would rock his world indefinitely. 
My heart ached for these two individuals because you could feel their pain on all the pages. She was longing for him to remember how they fell in love in stolen moments while they were on the rodeo circuit. Ty was trying hard to make sense on why he would have married a woman when he swore he wouldn’t have done that in his lifetime. He never saw a good marriage growing up and didn’t want anything to do with the institution. So, what is it about Hannah that makes him want to be a good husband she deserves? Ty was fighting so many demons with his abusive childhood and keeping his feelings to himself. He didn’t understand it but maybe there was something about Hannah that changed him and he’s willing to accept her and see where things go as they figure it out.
Hannah was set on closure when she found Ty in Cold River but then plans changed when she found out about his amnesia. She accepts his offer to go the ranch and talk some more. Playing house with Ty felt good but knew it probably all end badly when she told him her secret. It took an unlikely person to wake her up to face the truth. Hannah just had to decide what she wanted for her and her son. Hannah grew into her own person over the course of the story and it was nice to see her take control of her life.
Ty and Hannah were complicated, likable characters that needed one another. Each has a tragic past fighting demons and stigmas of their parents’ actions. They believed what they were told and living in fear was easier than fighting your family. It took some time and determination on both their parts to figure it out that what they had was good and worth fighting for. The road to their happiness wasn’t easy and the author wrote a second chance romance that felt very satisfying in the end. Caitlin Crews’ writing is gripping and emotional and ultimately it was wonderful story.
