Love love love this story! Bonner and Steph tie up a loose end (Steph) from another book, and Bonner teaches her how to become a nicer person , and therefore they fall in love . Bonner is a sexy , alpha type with a good heart , and this story with a HEA that will leave u cheering at the end is a fantastic read !
In book number 8 in the series, we get Bonner and Stephanie’s story. Stephanie has been a thorn a lot of people’s sides in Clifton. She was a spoiled “Daddy’s girl” and when things went sour with her trying to get Wyatt back from Olivia, it didn’t turn out good. Now her DAd is in jail and she is struggling to keep the ranch operating. Bonner may be attracted to her but he’s not happy about it and does everything in his power to stay away from her. That doesn’t help because he is her ranch foreman. He’s a jerk at first but realizes that maybe Stephanie really is sorry for everything she’s done in the past to people he cares about. How is that going to play in their future? Will Stephanie think she was just a one night stand for him and does he still think she has a thing for Wyatt. Misunderstands and hurt feelings get in the way for both of them but can they finally get together? Susan Fisher Davis always pulls her readers in with her stories from the first page. And she knows how to write cowboys very well. I highly recommend this book.
What a gut wrenching story about a woman who has done wrong but trying to change. A man who wants to help but who is also trying to figure out how far does he let the ship sink before he jumps and goes his own way.
I absolutely loved Bonner in this book. At times, he seemed a little rough around the edges but he was exactly what Stephanie needed. He helped her remember the spirit she had inside of her. I loved that when she needed to go and speak to someone she was afraid of, he was pretty stern to her in the truck, but as soon as they were talking to that individual, he stayed right beside her and offered suggestions or asked the others to give her a shot.
I could feel so much for Stephanie. What she did was wrong and I really didn’t like her in the other book, but in this one, you could feel just how much she is still beating herself up over her part. I kept thinking that probably most people can name at ;east one thing they did in their life that they wish they could go back and change. Stephanie couldn’t and she had an entire town wanting to remind her of it. I loved that she leaned on Bonner when she needed to.
This was an amazing addition to the Men of Clifton series. It’s a must read!
