From New York Times and USA TODAY Bestselling author, Lisa Mondello, a Contemporary Western Romance Novel

"Ms. Mondello presents a beguiling story that keeps you turning the pages...Truly a joy to read." Susan Mobley - 4 STARS - ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE

Mandy Morgan swore she’d never step foot in Texas again after Beau Gentry left her for life on the rodeo circuit eight years before. But now her uncle’s heart is failing and she has to convince him that surgery will save his life. She never dreamed the first thing she’d see when she stepped off the plane would be her biggest nightmare...the one man she’d never stopped loving.

Beau Gentry had the fever for two things: the rodeo and Mandy Morgan. But for Beau, loving Mandy was complicated by his father’s vendetta against her uncle. This led him to make the hardest decision of his life and he can still see the bitterness and hurt on Mandy’s face. All these years it has killed him to think Mandy had forgotten him and moved as far away as possible from him. But now they’re back in Texas, and he’s going to do all he can to win back her love.

HER HEART FOR THE ASKING

From the Author

Dear Reader, 

Her Heart for the Asking was the first book I wrote for the Texas Hearts series I originally wrote for Avalon Books.  I'm happy to say that not only have the first three books in that series been digitized, but soon the 4th book, GYPSY HEARTS, will be available as an ebook.  I've heard from so many readers about how much they love the Texas Hearts heroes and their lady loves that I've decided to continue my Texas Hearts series.  Keep an eye out for the 5th book, LEAVING LIBERTY, coming soon.

All my best, Lisa Mondello

I first read Mitch and Sarah’s story 7+ years ago. I loved it then and loved it more now, the 2nd time around. Their story was well written with a well developed plot. It was heartfelt. My heart went out to Mitch when his ex wife dropped off a baby with a note and birth certificate saying it was his son. She left before he saw her and could get the answers he needed. He never knew she was pregnant until then. He panicked!!! Sarah was part Apache and had just moved back after divorcing a verbally abusive husband. Her plan was to move back on the res and become a storyteller to the children. She agreed to be a temporary live in nanny until Mitch found someone else. Well, plans don’t always go as planned! Besides the great story line and the twists and turns, this made for a constant page turner! It’s well worth reading and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

This is a entertaining story about a lost love that is rekindled. I felt the author was good at introducing characters and keeping the story moving. It was a clean romance, which is just what I like. One thing I liked about it was that although the main characters had some obstacles to overcome, these were dealt with pretty openly, as I think healthy relationships should. I also liked some surprises that came up that I wouldn't have guessed at first, which added depth to the story.
The reason I am giving this four stars is that I think Lisa Mondello could have filled in her story just a little bit more. Some situations seemed to progress too quickly; that is not to say however, that her writing style is immature. I have read some terrible material that seems to have been written in Jr. High. This is NOT that. Maybe I see the story progressing too quickly because I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want it to end.

Really liked the characters, Beau and Mandy, and felt for them as they relived their troubled pasts and worked on a journey to right the wrongs. Second Chance stories are among my favorites and this one was very engaging and moving and I'm now onto the second book, HIS HEART FOR THE TRUSTING, and loving it as well. Have read several Lisa Mondello books and always enjoy them.

My Musings

While I liked the characters and the plot isn't bad either, the story didn't have much sexual tension. That can be there even if the story is clean, which this one is. The hero and heroine only a couple of kisses that lacked any fire. There just wasn't much depth to this story and it's not because it's short. The second chance romance can be a great one for a novella, but this one just lacked any spark.

I did listen to the audio version with the amazing Eric Dove. I always enjoy this performance, since he does a good job with the female voices, keeping them from sounding insipid. What emotion was in this book, he was able to get across with more than what was actually there.

I will say the book is free of grammatical errors, and the pacing is good. It's an easy book to read in one afternoon. If you enjoy super, clean western romances, then you will enjoy this one. Happy reading!

Just to get a couple small things out of the way first. There were some grammar errors. Only occasionally, a slip in wording here and there, not enough to take away a star for and possibly a little closer proof reading is needed. I have read stories early on that had so many it was hard to follow the plot etc. Not here tho. It's a cowboy story for sure, rodeo rider, child hood girl friend (sorta) brought back together by a ranch owner they both admire and love, who is having serious health problems. It's a clean story, which is a nice twist, a simple plot with a few small similarities to some others I've read. You know, getting caught, almost, by a rainstorm, in an old trail ride cabin while dropping off supplies etc. Big difference here, they don't actually stay! They do get bogged down on the way back and wind up helping a mama cow with her new born calf! Several instances like that bring enough differences to make this a really well plotted story. I liked the way our two main characters finally work out their long ago separation and find their way back to each other. It's sweet, it's tender, not a whole lot of funny in there but several places where you can't help but smile big. A standalone, HEA that really has a total impact on your heart muscle. That is, if you're so inclined. I am, and I really liked this whole story. I found myself thinking back on several parts of it all day as I did other chores. I'd recommend this to anyone.

I read this book in 2012 and again just now. It's a good storyline and perfect for a light holiday read. It isn't about Christmas but it is about family and how important they are to all of us. Not all families "gel" and have that "feel good" way about them, but they are none-the-less family. The lives of Beau and Mandy took them in different directions and when they met up again, it was all because of Hank. Who is Hank? He is wonderful, kind, caring and loved both of them.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I will read more. I liked the sweetness of the romance and the lack of profanity. The story was great.
The story opens with Beau picking Mandy up at the airport. Tension is very much in the air. Could Mandy get past the hurt that she felt 8 years ago? Uncle Hank played a big part in getting this couple back together. He was having heart problems and Mandy was called to go see him because he was dying. It had been a long time since she had been to the ranch. She was totally surprised and very reluctant when Beau showed up to take her to the ranch. Hank also wanted them to work together on teaching Mandy the ways of the ranch. Beau had been called in off the rodeo circuit to see Hank because of his health. One thing leads to another and Mandy and Beau find their way back to each other. There was one surprise in the book that I was not expecting; It made things a little more interesting. I am now in the process of reading the second book in this series. I will read more from this author.

I enjoyed this tremendously. The hero is a misunderstood rodeo cowboy who did the right thing in his youth but lost the love of his life because of it. The heroine, Mandy, is a bit of a spoilt princess but gradually gets back to what she used to be like before becoming a successful city slicker. There is much angst from the heroine who bears a grudge against the cowboy for what he did and it looks like she will never forgive him. Time and trials eventually bring this sparring couple back together. Great little romance.
