  💖💖💖💖💖 I totally loved Janie and Zack’s story in Summer Nights with a Cowboy by Caitlin Crews , book three in her Kittredge Ranch series, a story full of passion, sizzling tension, secrets and even a little suspense, surrounding the their families and Cold River history. I could not put down this story of a stern, grumpy sheriff and the new nurse in town who thinks he’s ridiculously hot, but tells him he needs to go to charm school to deal with his gruff attitude. And then actually goes through with it, tea parties and ballroom dancing and all. Cold River sheriff Zach Kittredge believes there is something not right about the town's newest resident, traveling hospice nurse Janie Atwood. Allegedly, Janie has moved in next door to Zach to act as a home health nurse for his aging neighbor, but he’s not buying that story; it’s a gut feeling despite evidence to the contrary. Janie does have hidden motives for moving to the small town of Cold River, but she is not ready to share
