Synopsis
The perfect vacation: Rest. Therapy. And miles away from Reid Browning.
At
first Eden thinks she's spending three weeks at Broken Hearts Ranch to
heal her head. But the longer she works with Kellie, the more she
realizes her head is not the only thing hurting. Images from her tour in
Iraq stay hidden but not deeply enough, and she knows she will need to
forget or heal or both if she is ever going to move on. As a bonus, the
ranch was going to be a good opportunity to avoid the dating scene, and
men in general. Or so she thought.
As a world class bareback
rider, Reid has given his all to rodeo and does everything he can to
forget his law degree and the fast paced life he left in Washington DC.
That includes the woman he recently met who got under his skin in all
the wrong ways. The trouble is, she got under his skin in the right ways
too. When he escapes to Texas to support his college brothers in the
Lost Creek Rodeo, he couldn't be more surprised to find her there.
Sparks
fly and not always the good kind, but when circumstances throw them
together and barriers come down, the two just might find a path to
healing and maybe even love.
My Review
I was surprised by the contrasting careers of Eden and Reid. She is a high powered activist for veterans, and he acts the part of a rodeo star, shunning the political life of his father. They have a rocky first couple of interactions before coincidentally meeting up again at the Broken Hearts Ranch, a therapy-centered retreat run by Reid's friend. Their rocky start gets even rockier, until suddenly they do a complete 180. It seemed a little out of character for Eden, but she was tapping into her buried emotions at the time, and Reid was also in atypical circumstances. I did like that even after they got together, their personalities didn't change, and they both stood up for themselves even when they disagreed. It actually reminded me of my husband and me! They learn about listening to understand, compromise, and supporting each other, despite their uncertain future. I liked how they were able to discover new dreams and priorities. A great addition to the series and I can't wait for the next book!
