Karsen Elliott seemed to have it all. She was partner at the biggest law firm in Chicago, had a gorgeous husband, and lived the life she had carefully carved out for herself. Until her mother passed away. After a betrayal of the worst kind, she packed her things and left it all behind for the one place she swore she would never return to. Standing in the very backyard she grew up in, facing a crossroads she couldn’t have ever imagined, she found herself at the mercy of her own design. Until fate stepped in and threw a wrench into her already fragile and complicated life. Rip walked away from a life he dreamed of to provide his momma the care she needed. Leaving behind everything, even a fiancé six weeks before the wedding, he found work as a ranch hand. He’d worked on the Elliott's ranch for six years, working his way up to becoming the foreman's righthand man. Living his life the best he could with his past haunting him, he became uncaring, ungiving of himself. Until a car pulled down the long drive, a car that shouldn’t have been there, a car delivering a woman who was so far out of his league it made his head spin. Together, they navigate loss and the ghosts of their pasts to find what neither of them expected. Love.
I love to write the stories that float around in my head. I've written a wonderful series called Whispering Wind under C. J. Medley. I've also written many romance novels. I love my husband, daughter and our silly cat Tootsie. Life is what you make it out to be, and I love mine.
I believe that Love is The Journey that we all take through this life.
5 stars, beautiful! Read It! It's wonderful. Cin Medley knows how to pull at the heartstrings with hard-hitting situations. This novel is an emotional read about a sassy litigator who knows her worth and an overprotective ranch hand who knows how to drive a woman wild. Both bring past ghosts to the table, both need forgiveness, and both fall hard and fast, giving and taking in a crazy dance of desire and love. A special shout out for Scout for having such a strong, loveable personality. This passionate, heart touching, full of all the feels, powerful book kept me captivated and rooting for the two lead characters to find their redemption and their happily ever after. Along the way, I found some great advice from a very wise momma. This is a great read, and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind lots of spice and bad words in their romance. 😉
