The Devil in the Saddle was my favorite Julia London book ever. It was funny, romantic, and heartwarming. The story of Rafe loving Hallie for as long as he has known her secretly. It starts with making me laugh at Hallie’s reaction to the breakup of her engagement. Then her best friend Rafe helping her pick up the pieces while keeping his own love for her a secret. We all want a Rafe in our life. I was sad to see their book end but I know we will see more of this couple in the next Princes of Texas book in the series The Billionaire in Boots, Nicks story. I loved this bookJulia London! It’s a must read…
