It's Jenny Wright's wedding day.  She's standing in a wedding dress she can't really afford and hours before the vows her fiance slash boss jilts her.  Colt Thorpe, rodeo star extraordinaire, has just come into town when he sees a beauty on a corner in her wedding dress.  He doesn't know her identity and upon learning about the jilting but stops to talk to her even as his mind tells him to not get involved with another woman. (He's recently divorced.)I'm not sure where or how to start describing how amazing this novella is.  While Charles Monmouth was jilting Jenny and telling her why, my chest hurt.  I haven't been jilted before but I felt as if it was happening to me.  I wanted to reach into my computer, backhand Monmouth to get him to stop talking and get Jenny away from him.  I wanted to stop reading but because I wanted to know what was happening next I couldn't.  I was so happy when Jenny realized that she was better off without Charles and a strong person on her own.  I'm so glad she owned up to who she was; past and family included.  I love that Colt was Jenny's childhood crush and that as an adult he was still a bad boy, but one with a heart of gold.I do wish the novella had been longer, but I'm sure we'll see glimpses of them in other stories as we travel to Marietta, Montana.  Jane Porter has once again written another fantastic story you don't want to miss.
