This is an amazing story of love, loss and living your best life possible told through characters that pull on your heartstrings. This second book in the series continues to unfold the tales of Prairie’s finest and resilient residents, military heroes and friends. The construction and establishment of Resolution Ranch, an establishment designed to give back to our brave men and women who have served our country through ranching, is the backdrop for Sterling and Emma’s sizzling chemistry. What’s not to love about two high school nemeses starting over as friends…with benefits?
Just like Tessa Layne’s other books, this story is emotional and provocative and so well done that I am in awe. This is an important subject matter that is brought to the forefront in a beautiful romance. I recommend this book as a must read especially, if you are connected with anyone serving in the military. Oh, and have your box of tissues at the ready!
An entertaining story about a former soldier who always loved a girl he relentlessly teased. Trust in his sincerity is her issue. Foul language, sexual situations. Happily ever after ending with good characters.
Loved this story.
I loved this one it was well written and the characters are awesome. I couldn’t put this one down. This was a quick easy read for me and it has made me want to read the other books in the Resolution Ranch series. It is always a great story by a great author when it makes you want to read the rest of the series and this one is one of those books. I would encourage you to get this one it is worth your time. I will be getting the rest of this series.
Good story.
Just another love story. Character were hard to like and took longer to read than planned do to a slow start but it picks up in the end. I really wish there was more on the events that were being planned throughout the story but it just kind of seem to end quicker than needed to.
This was ok, but I could not stand Emma. She was irritating at best, and downright unlikable when she confronted Kate in the barn.
Sterling was irritating with his back and forth attitude. Even his friend’s wife decided that she had to move forward because of her daughter. I would have thought Sterling would talk to his other best friend about being so tied up in knots.
Emma’s arrogance may have been a result of her insecurities, but it came across as arrogance none the less. She ran almost as hot and cold as Sterling did.
Sterling and Emma eventually reached their HEA. I did like the whole idea of Resolution Ranch, and the sense of support, friendship, family, and camaraderie.
I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did a really good job.
An army ranger deals with suicide of friend and almost loses love. Too much explicite sex.
Hesitated awhile before I read it, but enjoyed the story line immediately. Well worth reading and didn’t put it down until finished.
Loved this book. I really enjoyed the characters and even though I hadn’t read the previous books I was able to read this book with no issues. I love that the characters had history and were both dealing with some personal issues. I didn’t see the end coming but I loved this book. It was steamy and hot. I’m going back to read all the other books related to this one now.
Great story!
Ok read. A bit softer and less alpha male, than some of the other books. Rush and Jayla are childhood friends. Their friendship bloomed into longtime feelings. Love the series.
Sterling and Emma
I liked the book though it took me awhile to get In to it. I enjoyed his friends. They said things to him that were in my head too.
DNF at 19%. I am not taken with either character, but the guy’s uncritical self-contradictory thoughts feel forced, and by the fourth time he had them but did no pondering, I stopped reading for awhile.
When I returned to it just now, it was annoying to remember where the story was.
And that was my sign.
A fair story of psychic, delaying, waiting, forgiving, encouraging, healing; one and ony and meant to be love and unitedness!
A touching story with wonderful characters. The glimpse into a soldier’s mindset could make you cry at times.
I loved the whole series!
I love the series concept of creating a recovery ranch for veterans, It might do better demonstrating how the skills can be used for anything other than ranching jobs. I liked the idea of the high school pair reigniting. My 2 issues might not bother most. 1. More than 25% repetitive sex scenes in all possible positions. When they get repetitive or too many pages in a row I just skim till it gets back to the story. 2. I’ve done NDAs and confidentiality. Doesn’t happen the way the author suggests. Set reality aside for that part.
It’s sad when a real hero cant see his own heroism. good that love can see him through
Good feel good book – will read more from her!
