Back Cover Blurb:

The last thing cowboy Colt O’Malley needs is another busybody intent on curing him of his grief.

Deeply bitter, Colt finds it almost impossible honoring his brother’s last act of kindness.

Spring Reed grew up in the foster care system and when she finally ages out, she relies on her protector and friend, Billy Jack to help them make a life together. To her horror, Billy becomes an abusive bully.

Her rescuer arrives in the form of a coffee drinking, hard studying, college student, Caleb O’Malley. With a promise of a new job, he buys her a bus ticket from Texas to his family ranch in Montana with the plan to meet her there in a week. Unfortunately, no one met her.

When Old Ed tries to drop Spring off at the O’Malley ranch, Colt tells him to take her back. One glance at the pain in her eyes and he couldn’t send her away. She reminds her of the abused horses he rescues and he had to try to honor Caleb’s wish.
Can two people with scarred souls learn to love again or will bitterness and doubt drive them apart?
My Review:

Ball develops her world in a very vivid and easy to picture way. Her smooth and inviting writing allows her readers to visit Montana alongside her characters. She tops this all off with a very captivating and unforgettable storyline that combines romance with real life in a very snow-covered way. She also delves in to many less than savoury aspects of life in a real way, while still remaining tactful and approachable. This story was the best of many worlds. Throw in a handful of danger and a dash of suspense and you have yourself a novel that will hold its own.

The characters in this novel definitely made me laugh more than once. Take a cranky, hurting rancher and cross him with a scared and hurting city girl in the middle of a Montana winter and you’re bound to have some tense situations arise. Add a pair of golden hearted, burly ranch hands and you have yourself a winning cast. Ball develops everyone very well. As a reader you really feel like you get to know each of them individually. I feel like I’ve really met them.

As a whole, this was an intriguing & captivating novel that kept me on my toes.
