Great story! A lot of emotions, and danger as well. I was riveted!
This book was well written. The characters are quite believable. It deals with some important issues that our soldiers have to come to terms with during and after their service. All in all a good story. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Isobel and Alec meet again after years apart when he comes to the ranch where she works as a therapist. They find their attraction is still as potent as ever. Unfortunately their flirtation disrupted so many lives. The reason why shocked me. I wanted the truth to come out. I hated to see Isobel carry the guilt. She’s a strong woman who has reinvented herself. I wanted her find happiness. She loves her family, but she can’t stay away from Alec. He needs her. Alec is recovering from the death of his friends in battle. I admired his courage. Facing his traumatic experience and trying to conquer it takes bravery. This story is an emotional journey with an unexpected twist. The danger pulled me in. I liked Isobel and Alec. I wanted the truth to set them free from the past. They deserved a second chance. Alexa Padgett wrote a story that combined romance with danger. I enjoy her writing. Her stories pull me in.
I enjoyed this fast paced emotional, suspenseful, crazy ride. This is well written, had wonderful characters and side characters. The story flowed and kept my interest through the whole story. I received it as an arc and voluntarily left my review.
Isobel has found her calling working as a wrangler on a ranch for Veterans. She loves seeing the magic the fresh mountain air and horses work on the Veterans looking for some peace in their lives.

But he remembers Isobel from his time as her brother’s best friend, and hopes there can be something more between them. There IS something evil from the past stalking Isobel that may cost her life. This is an emotional adventure where the stakes are life and death.

Isobel and Alec were friends and something more in the past. Can they overcome their demos from the past and help each other souls to heal and have a future together when everything in their past push them apart?

Alec and Isobel’s story is emotional, dramatic and romantic. I found myself being pulled into the plot and felt the angst and tension experienced by the various players. Alec has done what many young men do when they reach an age and come to realise that they are in a position to make their own decisions regarding the future. Breaking away from his father Luke, came with consequences, however, Alec stuck to his guns and steered his own course. Isobel had been at the other end of Luke’s manipulations, resulting in a loss that affected everyone in her family. As the book reaches its peak, long-held secrets emerge and the truth is sometimes more than they can handle. Although Alec is a broken hero and needs all the help he can get, when the crunch came, he discovers that he has more strength than he thought. Isobel has carried the guilt of her family’s loss for so many years that she has forgotten how to let go and allow herself to feel. Alec is a charming hero, not without flaws, whilst Isobel is a passionate woman just longing to let go of the past that keeps tripping her up. Whilst this book should come with an age restriction, it is nevertheless sensitively handled and well written. It is also a standalone with a happy conclusion.

Fast paced story, hard to put down,
Emotional second chance, that touches your heartstrings,
