Bobby and Chrissy were inseparable as kids, running wild in the neighborhoods of the small town in Wyoming. It was a great place to grow up and they promised each other, they would always be best friends. Right up until the day his family moved far, far away, for a better job.

Christina McMillan is working at a horse rescue ranch. She loves her job and it gives her a lot of time to think about life and her past. For some reason, thoughts of her long-ago friendship with Bobby keep popping into her head.

Rob Jenkins is back in the town he spent his early life in, stealthily looking for his best friend Chrissy. If only he knew her real name. How many names could Chrissy be short for? Lots and lots. When he luckily sees a woman that could be her, he follows, but doesn’t approach. His Chrissy didn’t know a thing about horses. After watching for a few days, he determines it is her.

Before he can approach, he’s arrested. When Christina finds out she’s furious. Not a great start to rebuilding a friendship.

What does a geeky math nerd know about writing romance?

That's a darn good question. As a former techy I've done everything from computer programming to international trainer. Prior to college I had lots of different jobs and activities that were so diverse, I was an anomaly.

None of that qualifies me for writing novels. But I have some darn good stories to tell and a lot of imagination.

I have lived in Colorado, Hawaii and currently Washington. Going from two states with 340 days of sun to a state with 340 days of clouds, I had to do something to perk me up. And that's when I started this new adventure called author. Joining the Romance Writers of America and two local chapters, helped me learn the craft quickly and was a ton of fun.

My family consists of two grown children, their spouses, two adorable grand-daughters, and one grand dog. My favorite activity is playing with my grand-daughters!

When the girls can't play with their amazing grand-mother, my interests are reading and writing, yay! I started reading at a young age with the Nancy Drew mysteries and have continued to be an avid reader my whole life. My favorite reading material is romance in most of the genres, but occasionally other stories creep into my to-be-read pile, I don't kick them out.

Some of the strange jobs I have held are a carnation grower’s worker, a trap club puller, a pizza hut waitress, a software engineer, an international trainer, and a business program manager. I took welding, drafting and upholstery in high school, a long time ago when girls didn't take those classes, so I have an eclectic bunch of knowledge and experience.

And for something really unusual… I once had a raccoon as a pet.

Join with me as I tell my stories, weaving real tidbits from my life in with imaginary ones. You'll have to guess which is which. It will be a hoot.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story touched my heart
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
Ever have one of those books that just touches your heart and you remember something from when you were a kid. This story was one for me. I thoroughly enjoyed how Shirley Pennick wove these two characters stories together - from being kids Chrissy and Bobby Ray and best friends to both being adults with some explaining to do. I highly recommend this series. If you like stories about second chances read this series. I requested and was given a copy of this book. This is my voluntary review.

Aww this was a cute romance read. I love best friends to lovers and this newest release did not disappoint. I loved Bobby and Chrissy’s character, they were sweet and had great chemistry. I can see how they both connect from their fun interactions that made for an entertaining read. A definite must read if you love cowboy romance story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Second Chances Worth The Wait
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
Bobby and Chrissy were the best of friends, inseparable. Until life happened and separated the childhood besties.

Life moved along and so did these two. Changing with time, they became Rob and Christina. He grew up and led a life of service and she became involved with horses. Neither far from the mind of the other. But when Rob had a chance sighting of Christina, hope erupted. But he unfortunately had an encounter with the law that detained him in many ways. Fate intervened and gave them a second chance, if they can grab it.

This story has the ability to stir emotions. Childhood memories and what ifs. Second chances and possibilities spring eternal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020
Chrissy and Bobby were childhood best friends, then Bobby and his family moved away. Life moved on and they grew up, now going by Christina and Rob. Christina now works with horses and she loves it. Rob spent time in the service, he’s back in town, his thoughts never far from Christina. When he sees someone he thinks might be her, he waits, but before he can approach her he gets arrested. I just loved these two characters and their interactions. A wonderful second chance romance and one I highly recommend.
