<I received an ARC copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review>3.5 Stars!!!I liked this book but it did not grab me. It actually took me four long days to finish reading it. I can usually read a book a day if the story catches me but all this book did was frustrate the heck out of me. There were parts of the book that contradicted itself and got me lost. An example was a love-making scene that the characters were in the midst of passion but in the next sentence they hadn’t started yet? It just felt a little all over the place for me.Trace and Ava have an on again- off again sort of thing. Trace is as stubborn as they come but I think Ava was just as stubborn. This couple’s total lack of communication kept the angst in this book flowing like Niagara Falls. I liked the characters as individuals. Trace was a protective hot cowboy and Ava had big goals and dreams for herself.The characters in the story helped to keep my interest. I love the Hell’s Outlaws; Declan, Saint and Trace. They were great guys. I love the Hell’s Belle’s too. But I will have to say that Mayor Judy raked my nerves into a huge pile. I wanted to do some bodily damage to that woman. She did not deserve a good man like Sheriff Steel. The angst in this book was beyond any angst I have read before. This is why it took me so long to read. I had to keep putting the book down or I was going to scream.  The one minute no relationship, I am falling for him/her then the next minute someone is leaving. Yikes I was exhausted after reading it. On the flip side of this when a book gets me riled up I know the character writing is good.All in all the storyline was good. I love a hot cowboy and this book had several hot guys. This is my first Tina Leonard book and I will say that I will read the next installment of this series when it comes out. I have to see what happens with Declan and Saint.My Favorite Quotes:I know cowboys – and red-hot ones like that are guaranteed to break the most cautious heart. – AvaNow that she knew he was such a dynamite kisser. The problem was, he also used that mouth to talk – and when he did, it was clear he should stick to kissing. – Ava“My grill may be an old-fashioned charcoal outfit, but my girl still doesn’t wasn't any other woman near it.” – SteelTrace lowered his mouth to hers, trying not to eat her, consume her, inhale her.Hell is not for sissies. – Trace“Nothing, absolutely not one thing, is the same without your smile. I’m head over heels in love with you. As I told you, I’m no hero. But I’m a lot closer with you in my life.” - Trace
