Once a Rebel

Fortunes of Texas: Reunion #9

by Sheri Whitefeather

"What's the point of loving a woman when she might just cut and run?"—Ethan Eldridge, veterinarian

It's not easy living down a wild-child reputation. But Susan Fortune has never done anything the easy way. Who would have guessed she'd turn out to be a well-respected San Francisco psychologist with a knack for helping wayward teens? Not Ethan Eldridge, her secret crush who had lived in Red Rock, Texas, seventeen years ago.

Now back on the ranch to pay respects to ailing Ryan Fortune, Susan lets Ethan in on her little secret. However, the rugged veterinarian has a surprise for her, too. Their longing was mutual. And how can he say no to a second chance with Susan? But Ethan's heart is scarred. And if she wants to keep him, Susan's got to prove that even rebels have to put down roots sometime.

a very interesting and refreshing story, of a psychologist Susan and a veterinarian Ethan, of an ex wild bad girl and a shy young boy; of rediscovery, second chance, fear to love, adulthood , companionship and commitments.
in parallele , we witness an older couple struggles to live fully and the best they can the ultime moments before brain cancer takes over a strong love story. it's also a story of jalousy , kidnapping and scape of the criminal Jason. the book is in a serie and we will see other heroes in the next stories of this serie..
a very sweet story. Not my fav cover
I just added a 5th star because iloved the interview and the insight of Native American ancestry research and Sheri Whitefeather advices and remarks.

This was an awesome book. It had fear, sorrow, hope, despair and so much more. I enjoyed it from the first word until the last. I shared in the moments of each character, and only one did I not really like. Of course you will see that when you read the book. There were moments of laughter, being strong and feeling weak, sadness, but happiness. It was an awesome read.

Nono volume da série Fortunes of Texas: Reunion.

O nível de imaturidade do casal é tão alto que a leitura fica insuportável.
