3.5 StarsI really loved the premise of Serenity Falls – a young woman who suffered from depression ‘paying it forward’ through working at a summer camp for challenged kids.  Kenleigh Briggs lost her parents in a house fire at the age of 12 and subsequently fell into depression.  At the insistence of her Aunt she started riding horses and developed a deep and healing bond with the animals.  Move forward seven years and she is spending her second summer at Serenity Falls, working with the kids attending summer camp there.The key difference for Kenleigh this summer though, is Wes Adams, son of Serenity Falls owners Sandy and Will Adams.  Wes is a very talented, although somewhat troubled, bull rider and Kenleigh absolutely catches his eye.Things move quite quickly between the pair.  In part, Wes feels a connection to Kenleigh because his mother has been describing her to him for the better part of a year.  For Kenleigh, I think it was a bit of a mix of lust (let’s face it, Wes is hot!) and something a little deeper.The story played out rather predictably, although the ‘drama’ between Wes and Kenleigh really quite surprised me.  It happened quite late in the story and it felt a little contrived – almost drama for drama sake.  Given the connection that had been developed between Wes and Kenleigh I thought some of their actions were a little unrealistic, almost extreme and I did wonder if they would recover from them.  I would have been happy for the story to roll on without the drama to be honest – it would have been a totally sweet, feel good romance without it that I would have been happy with.Having said all of that, I did enjoy Serenity Falls.  It was an easy read, with good characters and it provided a really nice distraction from life for a while.Visit the Into the Night Reviews Blog or Facebook Page for book reviews, new release updates, giveaways and more!!
