****Book provided by Irresistible Reads Book Tour in exchange for an honest review***Travel writer, Kate Burke, has traveled the world. At the age of 30, she decides it's now time to grow up. She returns to Ponderosa Pines Ranch as head of the kitchen/cabin staff. She hopes with this time away, she can re-evaluate her life. She meets Shane Maddox, a ranch hand, and a mutual attraction evolves. Can Shane and Kate give into their attraction just once without anymore developing between them?I really enjoyed this book. I thought Julianna Keyes did a wonderful job with her debut novel. The chemistry between Shane and Kate is off the charts. It was great seeing how their relationship evolved. It wasn't all smooth sailing. There were conflicts and misunderstandings that caused some struggles between the two. I really enjoyed how the friendship between Kate and the other two kitchen/cabin staff (Hailey and Lisa), developed. I could actually picture them having conversations in my head. I liked Stanley (her best friend back home). He was such a voice of reason for Kate. The whole book was well written. I loved reading how Kate and Shane's mutual attraction evolved into more. I hope that Ms. Keyes writes more with Kate and Shane. The ending left so many possibilities open for another chapter in their lives. I will be looking forward to more books from Ms. Keyes. I will definitely be recommending this book to others.
