Where the Wild Fern Grows

by Jess Tully Menges

Fern Wolf is the youngest of six kids trying to find her place in life. As the year moves into July, Fern has only one thing on her mind. Hunting Season. All she wants to do is hunt while her father, Chayton Wolf, is working hard to keep her focused on the family business, school and rodeos.
Fern navigates the ups and downs of life and it isn't until she finally lets her guard down that she meets Ty Hessman. A well known bull rider who is all wrong but as they spend more time together she finds that Ty Hessman actually has another side to him.
One night Fern's family heads to a rodeo out of town while she stays home due to a prior commitment. That's when she meets Game Warden Forest Frost. She falls head over heels for him. Then realizes that she is in a second love triangle but this time she is the one caught in the middle.
Trying to align her head and her heart she takes a ride up the mountain to clear her mind. What she doesn't know is that will change her life forever.

Good Current Cowboy/Girl

Really enjoyed reading it, couldn't put it down. Love traditional country western and enjoy Rodeo. Plus it was fun to recognize a couple names the author used. Only drawback were a couple typos, but they didn't deter reading enjoyment
