English girl fleeing a cheating fiance plus a sexy cowboy with a secret equals… you do the math!!
Very enjoyable book with a southwestern U.S. flavor. Good depiction of the wild beauty in the Arizona desert. A number of twists and turns prevail before Sophie and Brady finally figure out where their priorities lie but they do eventually get there.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I will be watching for more of her books in the future.

What a beautiful story to lose yourself in on a Saturday afternoon after a tough week. It gave me the escape that I needed and I’m left wanting more. I can’t wait to see what else this author has written
I liked these two characters. Sophie was a tough cookie, yes she had had a bad relationship and was doing self reflection and the sort to get her head and life in order. With a love for horses and having had them previously but her ex made her choose between him and them, this horse ranch is where she needs to be. Brady works on the ranch and sees Sophie as just another woman coming who will walk away after her time is finished, but that doesn’t stop his body from reacting to her. After a few false starts, these two get their relationship one more of togetherness than acrimony.
But with a visit from an ex, make this budding relationship halt in it’s track or is there hope for these two beyond.
A well written story that held my interest throughout. Brady and Sophie are trying to get over things from their pasts when they meet. There is suspense, drama, danger, a cougar attack, exes, romance, and Sophie finally getting a backbone and standing up for herself. A story I recommend.

Her fiance betrays her with her sister. She takes off and comes over to be on a dude ranch where she can sooth her broken heart with horses. There she meets Brady and after finally getting some kind of relationship her fiance shows up. Well it is a tangled web with Brady having secrets too. It is exciting, emotional, suspenseful and so much more. I received a review copy from booksprout and voluntarily review it.
This is my first read from this author, and it won’t be the last. I loved this this book! Sophie had terrible heartbreak – she caught her fiance in bed with her sister, then had a terrible car wreck when she was fleeing her home, and went back so her fiance could care for her as she healed. They had a horrendous fight, and she left England to go to a ranch near Tucson to try to heal her heart. Brady lost his sister (the details come out much later in the book, and I won’t spoil that sub-story). They start out not liking each other, and slowly begin to trust the other. That trust was nearly destroyed when Brady’s not-so-ex-wife reappeared. This was a truly happy ending for both of them, though, and I’m glad to have read their story.

What great book! You have two amazing yet truly wounded people that are trying to move forward with their lives and find happiness but they get caught up in glimpses of the past. Brady is working at the ranch and trying his best to turn a blind eye to Sophie. These two have a chemistry that is not going to make this easy and tip the scales in fate’s hands. Sophie is at the ranch doing some recovering and self reflection but it is not being more difficult with Brady being around. When they both agree to disagree and figure that this is all short term, they can start again and be civil and then some. As the secrets start coming out and exes stop by to cause a rift or two, this makes for a very interesting read to find out how Brady and Sophie heal and deal with the past as well as what happens in their futures?

Modern Arizona Romance
I would not call this a ‘sweet romance’, it is definitely not clean. There is lots of sex, some of it graphic. There is plenty about horses and the reader can imagine the sounds and smells. It is pretty difficult for me to get into a novel with an American Southwest setting with all of the British spellings, words and usage. It is much different when reading a novel set in the UK or when expecting the British overtones. It just doesn’t fit having a fine cowboy asking his date if she would ‘fancy a dance’. Beyond that, it was a fun story. It was very short when skipping over the bedroom scenes. It also has a strong ending that I loved. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
This story is a sweet cowboy story with all kinds of twists and turns. The storyline is quite good and I just loved the characters, I am quite sure these characters truly exists someplace but OMG how happy I am not to know anyone like some of them… The leading characters were really well put together and just made the story complete. Four stars go to this beautiful story.

Sophie has escaped from England to spend four weeks at a dude ranch in Arizona. She needs to work out some bitter feelings and make some decisions after catching her fiancé in bed with her sister, a double betrayal. Brady works at the ranch and picks her up at the airport where they are sniping with each other. This goes on for several days until she shares her reasons for being there. She has some bad luck and ends up with some serious injuries. He moves in to take care of her. Need I say more? As their feelings increase with one another, the ex shows up thinking she is going to forgive him. There is a good amount of drama and I just realized it was a relatively clean romance. How ‘bout that? It’s a really great read and interesting all the way through! I have a bad habit of reading other books when I find the arc boring. Did NOT happen here! Take a chance and read it!
