Born just hours apart, they have been best friends since before they were born. Denver's mother has a reputation as the town whore, bringing a succession of step-fathers and "uncles" into her life. At an early age, Denver began running the family ranch and winning on the junior rodeo circuit, but that doesn't prevent the high school rumors about her being like her mother. At college, she intends to find a new self, away from the gossips of her hometown. There she meets John Ransom. Ransom has already made a name for himself in the rodeos. Greer surprises Denver by changing colleges at the last minute so that he can be near her. Denver is left torn between the comfort of her best friend (with benefits) and the magnetism of Ransom. The night she is left devastated, she will find out who she can trust.Denver has grown up with some warped views of the world around her. You can't blame her for that. She has had to raise herself. As hard as it is to parent as an adult, imagine trying to figure it out on your own. She is tough as nails, because she had to be to survive, but underneath it all, she's a child who was never able to be a child. All of the mistakes that we all make, without a nurturing parent, she blamed herself as her own failure… even when it is someone else's error.This is the first book I have read from Ms. Halat. I found that provides excellent writing and engaging characters. Like life, parts were funny and parts were heartbreaking. Have tissues ready. I have things I would like to say and ask of Ms. Halat, but that would be spoilers for ya'all. All I will say is "that" snuck up on me, punched me in the gut, and left me gasping for air! This was a bit of a mind-f*ck. I look forward to reading more from this author, especially the rest of this series!Ms. Halat – your Google history must be unique!One last word: John Ransom is mine. Ya'all can divvy up the rest of the cowboys.
