5 starsThis was my first book by Becky McGraw but has a fan for life.  OMG I can not say enough about her writing.  She has such a way with words; they draw you into the story, feeling what the characters are feeling.  I cried, laughed, was mad as hell, felt loved, had my heart broken and put back together, cried some more, had several oh nooooo that can not happen moments all within the pages of this book.  Much love for this book.Carrie Collins is a young widowed mother of Chris and Izzy is trying to make ends meet after thinking that her husband would be there to grow old with her.  She has to sell their home, move back home with her parents.  Not exactly how she thought her life would turn out.  Her son Chris, 13, has been getting into nothing but trouble since the murder of his father.  He has been arrested and seems to be headed down the wrong road.Dylan Thomas, injured pro bull rider, has been buying his time allowing his shoulder to heal at the R&R; Ranch.  He is there to help show the folks who come to the ranch how to ride a bull.  It is a pretty laid back job but Dylan is getting restless, the road is calling to him.  He had a hard life as a youngster.  Having bounced from foster family to foster family losing touch with his 3 brothers along the way.Carrie is sent to the R&R; Ranch to relax and enjoy herself.  She is to forget that she is a mother of 2.  She is having a hard time doing this but once she runs into a tall handsome cowboy at the ranch, a burning desires that she has not felt in years starts to course through her body.  Dylan knows better than to get involved with a guest but something about this vanilla smelling woman calls to him.As Carrie and Dylan get to know each other, things heat up and sometimes no strings attached is harder to do.  Can they continue to deny that they are only friends with benefits?  Will Dylan be able to finally find love in this sugar cookie of a woman Carrie?  Can Carrie give her heart away and risk happy ever after again?  Does Chris stay out of trouble or will he end his young teenage years in jail breaking his mother’s heart?What more can I say about this book but I absolutely loved it.  It touched my heart from the very beginning and I was unable to put it down until I had read the last line.  There was just enough romance, drama, suspense, a few twist and turns in the story and hot cowboys within this book to have you wanting to visit the R&R; Ranch yourself.
