I liked this book but it seemed really hard to read for the first half of the book. I am glad I stuck with it because it ended really good but it was by no means a quick read, it took me days to finish this.

Tall, Dark, and Determined is the second book in Kelly's Husbands for Hire series. I didn't like this story as much as I enjoyed the first one. The first 4 chapters were a recap from the first book. I don't mind recaps if it's only a few pages, but 4 chapters was a bit much. Lacey and Chase went from hating each other through a majority of the book, tolerating each other for a couple scenes, and then in-love suddenly at the end. The in-love part wasn't believable, just kind of sprung on the reader at the end of the book. I loved Lacey's determination to do things that most would consider manly, like hunting. I want to see how things will turn out for Naomi and Cora, so I'll read the final book.

Tall, Dark and Determined is book two in the Husbands for Hire series. Building on the plot and characters from the first novel, Rugged and Relentless.
Chase Dunstan, has tracked Robert Kane, to a jail cell to learn about his own brothers death in a mine collapse in Hope Falls that left his sister, Laura, a widow. He has questions about the mining incident, the reasons behind the collapse, and the way it was handled afterwards. What current plans is causing one of the mine owners, Braden, to stay in Hope Falls and what did any of this have to do with the incredible newspaper ad, Husbands For Hire ??
Chase and Lacey lock horns right at the start and harsh words are exchanged. I must say I was confused by Laceys character. She really seemed childish, spoiled and a hot head that demands everything her way, no matter if her way made sense or not! I had a hard time seeing any romance between the two. The ending was rushed, almost incomplete, as if she rushed to finish the book and just plain ran out of time!
