This was a great book! I loved the message that you might be stronger than you think you are! If you have read the previous books this is Ned and Fila’s story; if you haven’t read them that is ok, the book stands alone just fine. There is some ground work in previous books but the back story is explained quite well. Fila has been through so much in her life; witnessing her parents’ murder, being held by the Taliban, being hunted down after her escape, needless to say it’s been a very rough road. Ned’s life hasn’t exactly been easy either suffering from severe dyslexia that prevented him from learning to read and with his father constantly pitting him and his brothers against each other. Ned finally has what he wants and is running the family’s ranch and herd, he has the woman he loves living in his cabin but she’s scared and he doesn’t dare tell her, his younger brother wants to run the ranch and throws is disability in his face as often as possible and his father wants Fila off the ranch yesterday. This story is all about finding your inner strength and going after what you want. I loved watching the characters grow. I though Ned was a total jerk in The Cowboy Lassos a Bride (the book right before this one) but he was growing on me a little by the end of that one and I loved him by the end of this one (though he did do some truly stupid “man things” but that’s to be expected I guess). I still cannot stand Holt (Ned’s father), he’s just awful. I loved Ned and Fila and their love story. I loved watching Fila discover how strong she really is and decide what she wants. I’m really looking forward to more books in this series! I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
