Book 4 of the “Full Heart Ranch” series — Can be read as a stand-alone book, but reading books 1-3 will help with the back-story. No cliff-hanger. Book 5 (Help Me, Hold Me) is the final book of the series, and it is now available. Tanner James barely remembers who he was before joining the FBI a dozen years ago, and he’s okay with that. Life-threatening assignments tend to change a person, and … person, and he’s learned to become whoever he needs to be in order to handle danger and succeed in the tasks he’s given. Since there’s no one to miss the old Tanner, it’s all working out–until his boss decides he needs to take some time off.
One look into the cold dark eyes of the new volunteer at the veterans retreat center has Izzy Harding plotting ways to lighten the man’s burdens, whatever they might be. Turns out that’s not a job for the faint-hearted. Tanner wants to keep to himself, just doing his thing and staying safe behind the walls he’s built up to ward off people like her. Not gonna happen…..Izzy’s determined to be his friend, and she’s not easily put off. He needs to relax and enjoy life a little, and God-willing she’s going to help him do it.
There are so many reasons why he should resist her efforts, but the girl is getting past his defenses. She says God is in control, but why would He care? Tanner knows he needs to pull back before she gets hurt. He has another job coming up and he doesn’t need the distraction. But darkness craves light, and he craves Izzy.
He can’t stay. She has to let him leave. Only God knows how it will end.

Too much foul language.
Brings to point what undercover agents face in dealing with terrorism and the families they have to leave behind. Great character detail.
Wonderful book. I could hardly put it down.
I did not like the girl at all. Everyone told her to leave this guy alone but she just wouldn’t listen. I guess she couldn’t believe he didn’t want anything to do with her. I could not read this book because of her arrogance
Loved the way the author handled the top secret content and love stories
Amazing series! Can’t wait to finish the rest of them!
These characters whose personalities, life experiences and professional goals were so different faced a unique challenge in their relationship. The story kept me interested as they wrestled with their growing closeness in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
Loved it.
I truly enjoyed this book, the characters come to life in my mind.
This is a great story. I love the characters and look forward to reading the other books in the series to learn more about them. The books can be read on their own even though they are part of a series.
I liked that it was a romance mixed with action and a spiritual message.
Wow
This was a very touching story. I love the concept behind the ranch and the wonderful people who work there. Tanner was on a mini mandatory vacation from the FBI before his next assignment. Izzy works in the rehab dept. He’s kinda grumpy, she’s cheerful. Can she win him over.
I loved it! It kept drawing me back after I set it down to get some things done! Looking forward to reading more in this series!
enjoyable read. interesting FBI details
This was one of my favorites! Loved Izzy strong personality & how she brought Tanner out of his shell. It was a perfect love story!
A great read.
I have enjoyed the entire series by Barbara Gee “Full Heart Ranch
I loved the way she wrote about feelings/how he closed himself off when he was going under cover!
Well done!!
Another great book in this series. The characters are well done and the kind of people you would want to be friends with. The story line is interesting and the type that you stay up way too late in order to finish it!
Such a fun and inspirational book of two people who fall in love in spite of the challenges of life, Jobs, and their past.
Excellent read.
